Skills to Improve for Law School

<p>Ok, the skill sets you will need for law school aren’t exactly what you referenced in your post… </p>

<p>Writing. Yes writing is important, but what you will actually be doing is “legal writing” which is a stylistic form in and of itself. If you want to get a jump on the other students search for a book online to help introduce you to legal writing.</p>

<p>Research. Research for your college level class is completely different than legal research. Though your law school will have a law library, you will do almost 100% of your legal research online with either Westlaw or Lexis Nexis. I would suggest you take the free online tutorials that these programs offer to familiarize yourself with legal research and how it is conducted.</p>

<p>Reading. Similarly to the other two skills, legal reading is different vs. college level reading. Law school teaches law students via the case method, which means you will be assigned to read cases and then class discussions will be based on those cases. Understanding and effectively reading case law is a skill that can be obtained only through experience. You can try to read some of the law cases you find on the internet, but this will be a difficult skill to improve on your own.</p>
