You're a 1L, right?

That feeling around finals doesn't go away...

Well, the worst thing that can happen is you fail your finals and flunk out of school.

That only happens to a small percentage of law students.

(unless you're at Cooley)

You feel better now, right?

The good news is that if you're actually studying more than stressing, you should be fine.

I am studying. A lot. Practicing. A lot. But I'm still freaking out. A lot.

Any last minute tips on exam writing?

I like to go through the exam and spot all the issues right away and type those in. After I have grabbed them all (or at least all the ones I see!) I start IRACing each of those individually. If you get towards the end and are short on time, try to at least do a quick 3-4 sentence IRAC of each issue even if you can't fully analyze it.

Good luck!

Thank you so much! I am dreading the 1st exam b/c it is handwritten and I am so much better about typing and moving blocks of copy around!!! Thankfully the rest are on the computer.

Good luck to all of you on exams!
