Undergrad teaches you how to memorize and regurgitate. Law school teaches you how to think, analyze and resolve problems. You will forever see the world differently, and let me say, I loved every single minute of it.
-
Not even a law student and here I am… fully intrigued 😭
-
12 mins in and this makes me not scared about lectures, this makes me want to do it. Looks exciting! :D
-
First professor on first day of law school told us "Law and logic have nothing in common". Discouraging but entirely correct. Especially since politicians are mostly lawyers.
-
This is a HUGE benefit. I attended law school about a decade ago and failed the bar exam. I am back to study for the bar and I must say, this lecture validates that I want to and shall make a go for it again. Thank you very much!

I love her. I love how she explains things. You can see how much passion she has and this only motivates me more to study law.

I’m 27 and planning to go back and finish my undergrad after having come to the realization that I hate chemistry and math and love politics and law. Hope to go to law school in the near future. This was so encouraging and inspiring and I was glued the entire time

The Socrates method is great because it keeps the students actively participating in class and since you don't know if the professor will call on you on a particular case, you must always be prepared for class. A very good presentation.

My father was a cop his whole life, age 21 until he turned 65. I find the law interesting, was a great subject to learn, I love it, sadly when my father was asked to be sheriff, they discovered he had terminal cancer and I gave up school to care for him. Learning helps, tho I cannot make it a profession at my age. But I can infuse it to my grandkids ears..... Thank you for these videos and the time you dedicate!.

I love being able to watch videos like this from one of the top Law schools! Gives me insight into law school - as I do hope to attend law school one day.

I graduated UVa Law in 1980. This makes me fantasize about doing it all again. Loved it.

I’m waiting to find out if I was accepted at law school here in the U.K. and I’m really grateful for these uploads! Yes, our law is different but I think these lectures help to get into the mindset. Thank you!

"law school is not like college" and i thought i had it hard as an undergrad..
-
I love her style of teaching.
-
Prof. Geis is such an awesome professor. I have him for some bar prep courses and have listened to his Great Courses Contracts course. Just top notch, great to see him popping up here!
-
Even if you your not @ graduate law school it will not hinder you to think like a lawyer...self study and determination will not stop you from learning.
-
When I was in law school, I found it very challenging answering questions relating to real property. Depending on the subject, the socratic method could be very intimidating.

I’m extremely grateful to UVA for posting these fantastic lectures 🙌
