11 Shows Every Future Lawyer Watches

Instagram

Obviously, I'm a Political Science major and I 100% plan on going to law school following my undergrad years. Recently, I've started preparing for my LSAT and other practice tests so I'm reading, studying, and watching these 11 shows...

1. For The People

This show is nice because the actors are all playing characters barely older than I am, so it's a nice refresher from other lawyer shows.

2. Evil Genius

This is a confusing (twisty) series, that can force you to practice connecting evidence, suspects, and multiple cases.

3. How To Get Away With Murder

This is probably the most dramatic fictional series, but it's interesting to see the big, the bad, and the cover-ups.

4. Making A Murderer

Making A Murderer is hard to watch sometimes, watch and you'll see why.

5. The Good Fight

If you love badass women (who doesn't), watch The Good Fight.

6. Designated Survivor

Designated Survivor is just freaking awesome. I wish Tom Kirkman was my president.

7. American Crime

American Crime is fictional, but shows very real modern issues. Watching a fictional show usually leads people to get more educated on subjects that it portrays, which is important for ANYBODY to do!

8. Casting JonBenet

Casting JonBenet takes a look from multiple different angles: evidence, prosecutors, friends, etc. Everybody has a different idea of what happened, so what is yours?

9. The American Revolution

So, if you're like me... you have a dad that grounded you and only allowed you to watch this show whilst being grounded. Look at me now, almost a lawyer. (Obviously, he did something right!)

10. Black Mirror

Need to improve your cognitive thinking skills? Welcome to Black Mirror.

11. The Last Defense

If you haven't heard of Darlie Routier, please go watch this ASAP.

These shows all give you something different. Maybe one makes you get inside the head of a criminal, while the other teaches you how to connect the dots. Each of the shows (while some fictional) gives you different skills to develop, while being 'entertained' and stimulated. Definitely check these shows out!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
