How to Balance Moot Court, Mock Trial, Law Review, Work and Classes

...as i struggle to do all that i have to do i blog....
For those of you that like to be INVOLVED you may wonder how can I be involved and be successful in law school. So the question is how do you do it? Well I ask myself that every day. I am one of those people that pride themselves from being involved and it is for that reason that I am involved in Moot Court, Mock Trial, Law Review, The Black Law Students Association, The Academic integrity committee and other miscellaneous activities. How do I do it? Well…. Look at it this way…if you have a lot to do you virtually have no time to waste time. You are forced to manage your time well, you are forced to make a schedule and stick to it. Or…that’s how it is when things run smoothly. Let me be honest—it does not always go according to plan. As I write this blog, I have a headache, I am wondering how I am going t complete my two papers for classes, read for classes and study for finals while doing everything else that I have to do! I am freaking out now…but it usually falls into to place. I always complain about having too much to do but the beauty of it is that I always get it done. There are perks that come with getting involved with various activities within the school and the legal community. For one you get to interact not only with students but with the faculty and support staff for the school. I feel I am a good example of this…I have a good relationship with the staff in the registrar’s office, the admissions office, the career services office, the dean’s office, the SBA office….I think you get my point! On the other hand I am active in the community which gives me the opportunity to interact with lawyers and other professionals. This can only help you…And believe me it will! STU has an open door policy…WHY NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT? It never hurts to have a good relationship with all the individuals that are in the school community. When you need advice, favors have questions you will always have someone that’s in your corner. In law school NO MAN IS AN ISLAND you will always need someone for something. I will post another blog soon telling you the importance of NETWORKING-trust me you have to!
Until next time ……..
