PLEASE SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS🙏There is a boy in Georgia that was given LIFE + 25 YEARS for a domestic assault. The boy has no prior record, the girl who called the police was not visibly hurt. She was drunk. The lead detective seemed to take this case personally.

This ordeal was recorded, then uploaded to YouTube. I do not know these people, however after watching this video. I was totally floored! The sentence doesn't come close to the accusations, the state picked it up immediately, before any investigation began. The defendant was cooperative from the get go.

Hey everyone, just a massive heads up for the upcoming 2026 General Election on 7 November.
You must be enrolled by midnight on Sunday 25 October. If you miss this date, you cannot vote at all.
If you want to switch between the general and Māori electoral rolls, the deadline is 6 August 2026.
Good luck!

Made the mistake of doing one research assignment properly. Now every time there’s a weird legal issue nobody wants to touch, somehow it lands on my desk.

Need a 15-page note on some obscure procedural issue? Me. Need case law from three different High Courts? Me. Need it by tomorrow morning? Also me.

Meanwhile the person who spent the entire week looking busy somehow escapes untouched. Not really complaining because I’ve learned a lot, but sometimes I wonder if competence is just rewarded with more work. Anyone else experienced this?

Does anyone know if you can download the 22nd edition? (Or 21st, I think they're 99% the same). I have access to the online version, but I just find it so much easier to find things when I can control F, and ask AI to locate and analyze important information.

Hi everyone! 🎉 I’m thrilled to announce that my book, “The In-Between Brief,” is officially available on Amazon!

This passion project has been two years in the making, written during my 2L and 3L years, and truly brought to life during my final semester as a teaching assistant, when I realized just how much I wanted to give back to the next generation of law students.

This book is for the person standing at the crossroads, wondering if law school is really for them, needing that honest conversation nobody seems to want to have. I wrote the book I wish someone had handed me before I started. No sugarcoating, just the truth about what law school is, what it does to you, and why it’s still worth it.

Now that I’ve graduated and can look back with fresh eyes, my perspective on the experience has shifted in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and I want to share all of that with you.

If you’re on the fence, curious, or just ready to hear it straight, this one’s for you. I would be so grateful for your support, and even more grateful for your honest feedback after you read it. Every review truly means the world to an independent author. 🙏

And to everyone sitting for the July Bar, YOU’VE GOT THIS! 💪⚖️

ive been struggling with hemorrhoid bleeding every single day for like 8 months now and its honestly wearing me down mentally. tried preparation h which just numbs temporarily, witch hazel baths which made it worse somehow, and fiber supplements which helped constipation but not the actual hemorrhoids.i see blood after basically every bowel movement and the pain makes me anxious about going to the bathroom at all. what am i missing, there has to be a solution that actually works long term instead of just masking symptoms.

I’ve been running into more situations lately where statutes across jurisdictions don’t line up cleanly (especially around things like employment and regulatory issues), and it’s been surprisingly time-consuming to map out the differences and build a solid argument around them.

Curious how others here approach it in practice:

• Are you just handling this manually with Westlaw/Lexis?
• Do you narrow scope early (e.g., focus on most relevant jurisdictions only)?
• Any workflows or tools that actually make this less painful?

I’ve been experimenting on the side with a small tool to speed this up—basically trying to surface cross-jurisdiction differences and generate structured arguments with sources—but I’m more interested in how people are currently solving this problem (or if it’s just inherently tedious).

I'm a lawyer (qualified 2017, been in tech law and legal tech since) and I've spent the last year building productivity systems for legal professionals.

Recently I've been turning my attention to law students, because honestly, the chaos of juggling moots, dissertation deadlines, internship pipelines, and lecture notes simultaneously is something nobody really prepares you for. Most productivity advice online is built for corporate workers, not for someone trying to track a moot bundle while also chasing a vacation scheme application.

Before I go further with building something specifically for law students, I genuinely want to understand what the experience is actually like right now.

Some questions I'm curious about:

- How do you currently keep track of moot prep, bundles, skeleton arguments, research threads?

- Dissertation: do you have a system, or is it mostly controlled chaos until the deadline?

- Internship and vac scheme applications: how are you managing the pipeline? Spreadsheet? Notes app? Memory?

- Is there one part of your law school life that feels genuinely unmanageable from an organisation standpoint?

No agenda here beyond understanding the problem properly. I've built a free Notion-based system for law students that covers all of this: moot court tracking, dissertation milestones, internship pipelines, case note databases. I want to make sure it actually solves the right problems before I push it further.

If anyone wants to try it, it's completely free and I'll drop the link. But mostly I just want to hear how you're actually coping, or not and some honest feedback on it.

Law school grad. Passed NY two years ago, now doing Florida and my motivation is cooked.

Built some study tools for myself — **barprepplay.com …**Games (hangman, trivia, tic tac toe, slot machine), flashcards, timed MBE sets, FL vs federal & CA vs federal drills. Also 1L survival mode.

\****I know self promo is annoying but I'm just sharing something that's helped me stay awake while studying. If it's not your thing no worries.**********\**

Not a replacement for actual bar prep — just supplemental.

good luck everyone 💚Barprepplay

Hi, I am currently a second-year law student in Italy. I am writing to seek general guidance from legal professionals regarding potential career paths connected to the United States legal system.

At this stage of my studies, I am still exploring different professional directions and trying to better understand how a law graduate educated outside the U.S. might engage with or transition into the U.S. legal environment. I am aware that this is a complex and highly regulated area, and I am also conscious of the current political and institutional context in which the U.S. legal system operates. For this reason, I would greatly appreciate insights from those with experience or knowledge in this field.

I am not writing to inquire about specific opportunities, but rather to ask whether you might be willing to share any general advice such as recommended academic steps, qualifications, or practical experiences that could help someone in my position make informed decisions and prepare for the future.

I apologize if this message is an imposition, and I sincerely appreciate any guidance you may be willing to offer. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Hey everyone, I’m an AP research student currently working on a research project about how law school impacts and influences students’ stress levels. As part of my research, I created a short prerequisite survey to better understand law students’ experiences before sending out a broader follow-up survey. If you’re willing to take a few minutes to fill it out, I’d really appreciate it. Your responses will help shape the next stage of my project, and everything is completely anonymous. Thank you so much for your time!

Hey — quick share for anyone thinking about life after the bar.

There’s a brand new sub: r/CLECompliance, focused on how Continuing Legal Education actually works once you’re practicing.

I’m u/ErinAtLexVid, one of the mods. It’s LexVid-moderated, but this is meant to be a general CLE discussion space — not a place to push providers.

Promise:

• No sales posts
• No promo codes
• No marketing spam (including from us)

Just attorneys talking about how CLE actually works once you’re practicing.

If you’re a law student, this is mostly a “save for later” kind of thing, but it can help to know:

• What CLE actually is
• How requirements vary by state
• What new lawyers usually mess up their first cycle
• How attorneys fit CLE into already insane schedules

Totally fine to just lurk until you need it.
