Law school is nothing compared to four years of college as an undergraduate. Law school is more time consuming and stressful than no one could possibly ever imagine. Although I am not yet a law student and have not experienced at first hand an actual day in law school, I have this notion/image in my head of what law school will be like due to what numerous law students themselves have overstated; which is that law school is stressful and time consuming. However, only oneself can truly agree /vouch to this assertion when oneself experiences this at first hand. In regards to coping methods, I plan on applying the coping methods I currently utilize as an undergraduate, which may or may not assist me in law school. Additionally, the coping methods …show more content…
Thus, I plan on joining clubs such as the law review, which I've heard from numerous law students themselves that it's fun in a way as well as a good opportunity to be more enlightened and become acquainted with other law students. However, family wise, I am not necessarily certain as to what coping methods I can utilize. My family overstate that they “comprehend” that law school is very difficult and extremely time consuming, but in reality they don't because they're not law students themselves. Especially, taking into consideration the fact that I'll be attending law school out of state, which will only make it even more difficult for me. Thus, I plan on providing them with shows regarding law students/lawyers that they can watch to at least have an idea or get a better understanding of what my life will be like. Furthermore, my sister is a Paralegal so my family has already somewhat an idea of what to expect when I'm in law school. Although, paralegal studies are not as rigorous and stressful as being a law student it is somewhat similar considering you are being enlightened about the
As I became more involved with campus life, I couldn’t find a way to immerse myself in preparing for a career in law. While I knew why I wanted a law degree, I couldn’t conceptualize what I wanted to do with it. Prior to college life, my familiarity with the legal system was by way of internships with judges and lawyers. Clearly, that traditional route perked my interest but not my passion. Living with the athletes affirmed my interest in their culture. I began to immerse myself in subjects surro...
When compared with regular degrees, paralegal programs generally two years or less to complete. Some programs are specially designed for working adults with previous education and can be completed in one to two years’ time. For those with legal training, there are intense certificate programs that can be completed in six to 12 months. Therefore, paralegal degree programs require less money and time commitment, but still deliver a robust and useful education.
Everyone has to deal with struggles during their everyday life. Some people’s problems are more serious than others, and the way that people deal with their problems varies. Everybody has a coping mechanism, something they can use to make the struggle that they’re going through easier, but they’re usually different. Some people drink, some people smoke, some people pretend there is no problem. There are healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms, and people will vary the one they use depending on the problem they’re facing. In The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, the author and her family deal with their struggles in multiple different ways as time goes on. However, the severity of her situation means that the methods she uses to deal with it are very important. That’s why it’s bad that Jeanette’s and her family have such unhealthy coping mechanisms, such

Students below the cumulative KU GPA of 2.0 are placed on probation (KU.edu). Freshman and sophomores on Probation (between 0 – 59 completed hours)
The NSW Criminal Justice System is adequate when dealing with young offenders; however, like any legal system it does have its limitations. The NSW Criminal justice system does uphold the rights of the young offender by providing juveniles with special courts under the Childrens Court Act 1987 (NSW) by providing special protections under the UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child; the recognising of culpability in regards to the age of the young offender by implementing doli incapax and by arranging a variety of diversionary programs and alternative punishments. However, the limitations of the NSW Criminal justice system in relation to young offenders is Doli Incapax in the The Childrens (Criminal Proceedings Act 1987) NSW which fails to recognise more serious offenders and The Young Offenders Act allowance for youth justice conferencing is not being cultivated for a wide enough range of offenders, leading the exclusion of some young offenders from the benefits that conferencing can offer.

Law School Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of the practice of law is learning to be a lawyer. Virtually every new lawyer today is a graduate of law school, a much dreaded, but fulfilling journey to practicing law. Modern law schools differ greatly from their earlier counterparts, in that many more requirements and responsibilities exist. In colonial times, students pursuing a career in law would enter institutions for instruction of the law, and would automatically become qualified to practice law in the courts after a few years of study. Today, however, becoming a lawyer takes much more training, rigorous work and effort, and many years of studying in order to take a bar exam, of which passing represents qualification.
