Here are a couple of links about the day before and the day of the LSAT here and here.

For more links, below is our original post about the day before the LSAT:

This weekend is an LSAT weekend! Hopefully you're well prepared for and not too stressed out over the exam.

Compelling Interests blog (from the people behind LexPrep Law School Preparation Course) gives some last minute advice.

Here you can find some good advice for the day before and the day of the test.

Here is some more advice for the day of the test.

Good luck!

The ABA reports a survey that says women lawyers at top firms make "significantly less" than men.

Leiter has a couple lists measuring law schools' placement in Federal Appellate Clerkships.

Law and More has some advice for law grads who have lots of debt can't find the job they want.

Ms. JD on job interview etiquette.

Legal Sanity opinion on some of the perks being offered to big firm associates.

Lexprep has some good advice about getting to know your law professor.

It's only human nature to treat people you know more kindly than people you don't. The trick here is to get your law school professors to see you as a human being rather than just another body taking notes behind a laptop in a cavernous lecture hall class stuffed with faceless law students.

We all have probably been told this advice as well as the reasons why it is advantageous, but many of us just don't do it.

As you enter law school, start thinking about actually implementing this advice as much as you can. Here is the link.

Happy Thanksgiving from The Pre-Law Blog!

As a law student, your chances to do a powerpoint presentation in law school are limited. But I'm currently thinking about it as the rest of my classmates and I must present our seminar papers to each other.

Earlier I posted about cutting out uh's and um's out of presentations. If you're worried about a good presentation, a speaking habit like that is a little harder to control. But it is much easier to control your prepared presentation slides.

This slideshow was posted at Lifehacker and I think it is great advice for law students who come across the chance to present a powerpoint slideshow.

Especially pay attention to this slide when presenting a paper.

The temptation may be there to copy some long text or quotes from the paper and paste it into the slideshow. But that's really ineffective from a presentation standpoint.

Getting some mentions around the blawgosphere (see Taxprof and Law Librarian Blog) is this article in the National Jurist that points out that the US News Rankings does not necessarly accurately depict what law students want out of a law school.

Joe Hodnicki of Law Librarian Blog suggests: "Why not include a student review component along with the peer review and bench and bar review components?"

If making a pros vs. cons analysis while deciding whether to attend law school remember this: a famous right-wing talk show might try to ruin you if you attend law school! Leiter points us to this article about Bill O'Reilly trying to get a University of Virginia law student kicked out of law school. Could you be next?

Well, probably not. O'Reilly is sending a letter to Virginia's dean in retaliation for the student's semi-stalker behavior toward Bill O' (maybe not necessarily smart behavior for the wannabe lawyer, but one could argue it is not undeserved).

I have seen a couple good blog posts recently from a blog called The Legal Scoop.

I like this post about balancing life and law school. The blog looks like it is written by four law students and its tagline is: "Law written from a law student's perspective." I'd definitely recommend taking a look around and subscribing to The Legal Scoop.

Lifehack.org has a great post about how to stop saying uh and um when speaking. This is a problem for me especially during public speech, as I'm sure it is a problem for lots of incoming law students.

Click to see how this might be helpful for future law students.

Inspired by a post by Law School Innovation about class partipation, but aimed more at law professors, I thought I'd share my thoughts and help explain to pre-law students how class participation generally works in law school.

I found this piece interesting over at the WSJ Law Blog. Wal-Mart sent a memo to its outside law firms trying to reduce the cost of its legal bills. Click to see more below. (More)

This opinion article seems to think so. It's written by a recent law school grad and is most interesting for its comments about the state of California's legal market as a whole.

Update: Well, the link to the post below isn't going to tell you as another blogger pointed out on his blog (not directly to me so I could not actually fix it).

In my haste to find something interesting to post this day so I could get back to work or school or life I misread Prof. Caron's post. His post is obviously the order of schools one sees after typing in those searches. Oops!

Here's the original post and I apoligize if it was misleading:

TaxProf has another interesting list. This one of the most searched-for law schools on Google. Doesn't mean much, but kind of interesting. Here's the link.
