Description

Welcome back! If you are a 2L or 3L who's stuggled in law school, this episode is for you. Today we're talking about how to overcome a 1L year that was less than stellar and raise your grades for the rest of your tenure in law school.
Your GPA as a 1L is important because it's used for on-campus interviews and Law Review, but don't forget that clerkships, internships, and future employers look at the big picture and you still have a long way to go. It's too early to get discouraged!
We discuss strategies to raise your GPA which include:

Evaluating the problem
Developing more effective pre-exam preparation strategies
Secrets to eliminating distractions in class
Managing your time effectively and getting more practice in
Working on your exam writing skills
Scheduling classes the smart way
Taking advantage of electives and clinics
Improving your GPA as a 3L - Is it even worth bothering?
Getting in the right mindset for success

The most important things is to not get discouraged and give up. Continuously try to improve and change the way you prepare and study, and you'll see results!
