10 Things To Do Before Going To Law School, According to FAU Professor and Attorney Gary Gaffney

Hello,
As an officer in FAU's Pre-Law Society, we like to have speakers at our meetings. We got Professor Gary Gaffney to talk to us and give us some pointers, he made us a list of the 10 most important things to do before going to Law School, I will decribe them briefly.

1. Perform- maintain a high GPA, do well on the LSAT, cultivate good study habits.
2. Dont wish for things you dont want- be 110% sure that this is what you want to do.
3. Join LSAC- study and prep, take the LSAT at the best time for you, put together an application package , pick the right schools to apply too.
4. it's all about LOGIC- take as many courses as you can about logic, if you understand it, you are on your way.
5. Write, and write more- persuasive writing is key to doing well in law school.
6. Learn the law- Take as many law related course as you can.
7. Read- read everything and anything you can, books, magazines, and keep up with current affairs.
8. Martial all assets- three years of law school can be a very taxing experience, so enlist support from all available resources.
9. Mind and Body- Get as healthy as you can before school starts, and before classes begin, because you wont have time for it afterwards.
10. Prepare for the first year- visit the campus, investigate your professors, get study aids, and practice "socratic" method with one who knows.

Hopefully these help out, I know it did for me...
Until next time..
