[blindlaw] Accepted to law school

[Rod Alcidonis]

I would second everything that Ronza has said. Although you will be tempted
to learn the law before you get to Law School, don't do it! I know you are
excited, but share this excitement by spending times with your families,
read things that you always wanted to read and never had the time, and
travel if possible. Also, go on the net and read general advice about law
school, such as how to succeed on exams, but not what is Promissory
Estoppel, which you will learn when you get there. Law School expects you to
have the ability to master the material, and by having been accepted,
already tells them that you will have no problem doing so. This is the last
free summer of your life potentially, so enjoy it!

I would advise ou to read philosophy text if you are interested in the
subject, etc.

Take care and feel free to supplement your questions as you wish.

There's a great book called "Bridging the Gap Between College and Law  
School," but I'm sorry that I can't remember the author's name.  I got a
copy from 
RFB&D, and it was very helpful.  I'd also suggest you get  your hands on a 
civics or U.S. Government book and just refresh; this will  especially be
helpful 
for Constitutional Law.  I'd really discourage you  from trying to learn or 
practice any kind of legal writing before law  school.  You're going to have
to 
forget everything you've ever learned  about writing anyway, so don't stress

about your skills now.  My final and  most important bit of advice is to try

to enjoy your summer as much as  possible.  It is unlikely you'll ever have
a 
stress-free summer again, with  summer jobs, job searches, and so on.  Just 
ride on the thrill of being an  incoming 1L.  Congratulations!
 
Hope this helps.
