Hello, hope you're doing well!!

It's only been two months into law school for me and way too early to assess what I want to pursue going forward, but I'm curious- what made you decide to pursue an LLM? More importantly, what factors did you have to consider before making that decision?

Hi!

What made you decide to do an LLM? - Although I have almost no experience writing research papers, I am deeply interested in the process of knowledge creation that is employed when writing them. I have profound respect for the authors of all the texts we have been prescribed in our course. A part of me wants to go deeper into that space of creation. LLM is a way to involve deeper into legal research and methodology. I love academia.

What factors I considered when making the decision to pursue LLM -

I have the time, and the resources. I can afford to spend another year on further education. I have no dependants and no pressing need to be financially independent as of yet.

I want to go to a better University where my chances of meeting future mentors and people like myself are greater. My current University is hostile towards learning.

Getting into a good university for masters also would help in making quality connections in the field, and I get to explore the possibilities in a way I can't right now with a bachelor's degree from an average university.

Note: It is never a good idea to be influenced by institutional repute. You and only you have control over your future. Just being in a good university does not guarantee life long success. That being said, institutes of repute can be a good way to surround yourself with ambitious and like minded people. That gets you very far in life.

I wish you the best of luck!

89 days to go

Y'all I'm getting root canal treatment done on two of my teeth this month. I've never had cause to go to the dentist for the last 23 years and now the day is here. And I'm. Scared.

88 days left

God I'm so fucking annoyed. I'm the one who's planned my to-do list. And I'm annoyed when I have to actually do the thing.

Hii, do you have any tips on how to take notes for law subject?

Taking good notes for law subjects has a lot to do with how well you can study the text. To take good notes you must know:

The steps to studying a textbook/judgement/anything : First, you skim through it. Then read it a second time to understand what the concepts are and why they're important. Third reading is where you try to break down the text into bite size info: make diagrams, highlight with different colors, etc. you'll find more resources on how to study a text online.

It is important that your notes are not a copy from your text. Use your own words. Make your own little flowchart or diagram. Don't copy/paste.

While I encourage you to use your own words while writing notes, I also should warn against terminological inexactitude: you must know the significance of each word you're writing. A void contract, for example, is not the same thing as a voidable contract. Sale deed is different from an agreement to Sale. You must pay attention to detail.

These are what come to mind. But if you have any specific questions, or anything in particular you're having trouble with, feel free to shoot me a DM or ask another ask.
