You prepped like a beast for the LSAT. 

And now . . . you’re going to wing it in law school?

You left nothing to chance when you took the LSAT.

You planned months in advance. You made and followed a schedule. You bought books.

You took tons of practice LSATs.

You paid with money . . . and blood and sweat and tears.

It worked.

Congrats!  You got into law school.

So . . . now what?

Do you plan to prep for law school as well?

Or do you really want to leave your success in law school to chance?

---

You’d be surprised.

Many students who were LSAT prep beasts . . . do not prep at all for law school.

Why is this?  (Please don’t let this be you!)

Based on years of talking to law students, here’s what they’re thinking:

“I prepped for the LSAT because I always prep extra for standardized tests, like the SATs years ago.  But I know how school works!  I’m a good student!  I rocked college!  Law school is just a harder version of college! I’ll adjust and rock law school!”

(Not a direct quote, mind you, but a composite based on years of talking to law students after they blew their exams.)

Interesting. 

“I know how school works.”

Take a step back. 

If you’re still thinking whether you should prep for law school – rather than thinking about how and when you should prep – let me remind you what is at stake here:

• There is huge competition for good legal jobs (law firm, government, non-profit, human rights, academia).
• Getting these jobs depends on getting top grades (even at top law schools)
• Law school is expensive – $250,000 to $300,000 – and hard to pay off without a good job. 
• Which, by the way, you need good grades to get. 

You know this already.

But again, these folks won’t prepare for law school because . . . “they know how school works.”

Does this sound smart? 

Your LSAT work taught you to pick assumptions like this apart. 

What is the assumption here?

“Law school is similar to college.  Enough that you can rock law school just because you succeeded in college.”

Do you want to bet everything (your grades, your jobs, your legal future) on an assumption?

And is this assumption right?

Really, though, if you answer the first question right, everything else sorts itself out.

If you get good grades, you can get a great job, and be well on your way to get out of debt.

Some people did this right.

Some people did not.

What is the difference between those who got good grades and those who did not?

Keep on reading.

Think of your life in law school.

For about 20 hours a week, you sit in class with 100 of your best friends.

For the rest of the hours of the week, you have tons of reading from giant, heavy casebooks.

You read old cases, including some 300-year-old English cases, that make no sense . . . or are so badly written you spend an hour just trying to understand them (“stirring cement with your eyelids” as Scott Turow put it).

You read and re-read and work hard—maybe harder than you ever have.

And then see people on call in front of your 100 best friends.

The professor asks hard questions.

The students who answer fire back what sound like awesome answers.

The other students all seem . . . brilliant.  Just super smart.

You sweat bullets and hear your heart pounding when you’re in class.

You pray that your prof doesn’t call on you this time.

You hope that you don’t look stupid in front of 100 super geniuses.

These feelings are natural.

You’d be crazy NOT to feel what you’re feeling right now.

You feel overwhelmed and confused and you’ve never worked so hard in your life.

Your professor won’t tell you what the game is and seems to love torturing you.

You’re working harder than you ever have . . . and your payoff so far seems to be humiliation and stress.

Fall turns into winter.

The professor tells you: Hey, maybe you should do something called “outlining” and take some practice exams.

You try to “outline,” whatever that is.  (You condense your notes and try to copy other old outlines.)

And you take some practice exams.

They make no sense to you.

You stay up late nights before your finals. Too much Red Bull and coffee.

You frantically re-read your outline, your books and old exams.

You still feel lost.

Then come finals.

The day of, you sleep-walk to class. 

You sit down. You open your first real exam and this is page 1 of 6 pages of craziness:

(That was a real exam that my students took when I was a teaching assistant in law school.)

WTF?

Um, WTMFF?

How do I answer that?

People around you just start typing.

Type type type.

You begin to type and freak out more – what do they know that you don’t that they are typing already one minute after you start?

You read the exam and type again.

You flip your outline. You sweat more.

One hour passes. Just two left.

Everyone is still typing. So you start typing half-hearted answers. You curse because each of your answers seems stupid.

One hour left. You’ve barely answered the first question and there are two more. So you begin typing quickly. You see claims or defenses; you don’t know if what you’ve written is right, but you are running out of time.

Suddenly the proctor calls five minutes left.

You type even faster.

Your palms sweat.

Time.

You stand up. You gather your computer and papers, pack up and stagger back to your room.

What just happened?

You go home for Christmas.

You check your grades online.

Straight Bs. 

Middle of your class.

You were always an A student before.

Now, not so much. Great.  So now what?

---

Here is the problem:  Law School Is A Bait and Switch.

Let’s look at a direct quote from a panicked law student:

“I feel that professors do not tell you what they are looking for until after they grade your work.”

Professors do tell you to do certain things during the semester:

• Do the reading to prepare for class.
• Brief cases.
• Be prepared to be called on in class. Or face utter and complete ridicule a la The Paper Chase.

You’re asked about the tiniest, stupidest details in cases.

You work so hard, in part, to avoid looking stupid in class.

But this singular focus on reading cases is what gets you in trouble.

You spend 90% of your timing doing what is essentially busy work without preparing for the exam.

Because your professor told you to. 

And because your professor did not tell you how to take an exam.

You can do everything your professor tells you to do and get crappy grades.

So what do you do?

Well, first, recognize the enemy.

Law school is different.

Really different.

The assumption we talked about above – you assumed that law school was like college – is simply wrong.

In short: you will get mediocre grades if you do what you’re told.

We talked about this before.

When you went to college, the recipe to get an A was to work very hard doing what your professor asked you to do.

But when you go to law school, that is the recipe for getting straight Bs.

In other words, law school is a bait and switch.

And what’s worse, your final exam is 100% of your grade.

And you never get feedback until it is too late.

So what do I do instead?

You might look online for free advice on what to do instead of read and brief cases.

Many people have many contradictory opinions on how to succeed.  (And some of them will still say “do what the prof tells you to do.”)

“Brief cases!  Don’t brief cases!  Buy canned case briefs!  Don’t!  Outline early!  Outline late!  Take practice exams now!  Wait until the end!  Don’t use commercial outlines!”

How do you figure out who is right?

You just want a CLEAR and PROVEN way out of this mess.

A clear strategy for law school success.

Well, in Douglas Adams’ immortal words: DON’T PANIC!

Hi there. 

I am Larry Law Law (formerly known as Mansfield J Park, Larry the Law Tutor or the Law School Hacker).

You might be asking, “Why should I listen to you?”

Fair enough.

This is me.

And I’ve been featured on some other law school websites and groups you may have heard of:

And I give law students PROVEN advice on how to succeed and get the awesome jobs they dreamed of when they applied to law school.

So here is why you should listen to me despite my odd pictures and weird sense of humor:

I was a top law student myself.

I graduated from NYU Law magna cum laude and Order of the Coif (top 10%), and a member of the Executive Board on NYU Law Review.

I was a top lawyer, not just a top student.

In 2012 and 2013, I was named a Rising Star in New York Superlawyers, a magazine that tracks the top 2.5% of lawyers in New York City in 2012 and 2013.

I was a top lawyer at a top law firm.

I worked at Debevoise & Plimpton, the #1 Law Firm for many years according to American Lawyer over the last 20 or so years.

While at Debevoise, I won the very first Cyrus Vance Access to Justice Award (an award which has gone to much more important people than me):

Most relevant to you: I coached law students at top schools to get As.

For over a decade, I have helped law students at Harvard, Texas, Columbia, NYU and other schools.

I worked with them one-on-one to teach them the correct strategies and to coach them to write better exams.

Check out my reviews on tutoring websites below.  (Mansfield Park is me – it was my pseudonym for some time).

And here is me, a 5-star rated tutor to law tutors:

And here is me, a 5-star law school tutor on another website!

LET ME REPEAT:  My students get As.

Check out my students’ results.  They are top law students at top law schools.

Here’s one from University of Texas (this lawyer is now at Cravath, Swain & Moore):

Or how about this one from University of Utah:

Or this email from a Columbia Law Student:

Or this NYU Law Student (who got an A+ in Civ Pro from no less than the master of civ pro Arthur Miller):

In short: My Students Get Results . . .

Because I Teach To the Test (And Law Professors Don’t)

Professors test you on issue-spotting, but here’s the thing:  they never teach you how to issue-spot.

You have no opportunity for feedback.

You will never learn from your mistakes because your professor likely will never tell you what you did wrong.

You will never get a marked-up exam. The only thing you get back is your grade.

As a tutor, I did exactly what a professor should do: Give you a chance to practice, make mistakes and learn from them before your real exams.

This is the kind of hard work I used to do.

Students would take practice exams and I would mark them up with track changes.

Actually, I would mark the living crap out of practice exams.  Exactly what a prof SHOULD DO so you can learn how to make better arguments.  Like this:

Or like this:

(Result of this work?  An A in criminal law at U of Texas Law.)

Or this:

Wow, can Larry tutor me like this? 

No.

Sorry. 

I don’t tutor students one-on-one anymore.

I have a day job I love. And a family I love.

They take time.

Also, even if I had all the time in the world, I could not tutor everyone who needs help.

Even if I spent every waking hour tutoring.

So I decided to create an online course to help as many law students as I could.

I wanted to download everything I know about law school exams, get it out of my head and into this course.

Now, back to you.

What do you need?

Well, let’s start with what you don’t need.

You don’t need the advice of tutors and law school prep websites that won’t teach you how to take an exam.

You DON’T need generic advice: “Study hard.” “Listen in class.” “Read all the cases.” “Eat breakfast the morning of the exam.”

(You should do that, but, duh.)

You DO need super-specific advice that has worked for other students and is going to work for you.

You DO need to know WHAT to do to succeed, and you need to know HOW to do it. 

The real, nitty-gritty, brass-tacks HOW.

You’re smart. (Otherwise you wouldn’t have gotten into law school).

You work hard.

You’ve always known what to do. (Before law school, anyway.)

But now, for the first time, you are (understandably) a bit unsure on what you have to do to get good grades.

What if there were a straightforward, proven, battle-tested guide on how to study law the right way?

A guide with specific, step-by-step tactics?

A specific set of step-by-step tactics on how to study law and for preparing for and excelling on your law school exams?

I would have really have loved to have something like this on how to study law when I started as a law student. I would have loved knowing that there were specific, battle-tested tested tactics on doing well in law school.

A real system to study law.

A real system based on the success of one law student at a time?

well in law school.

A real system to study law.

Introducing a proven, battle-tested system to get top grades in law school

I am inviting you to join KICK THE CRAP OUT OF LAW SCHOOL (KTCOOLS).

I developed this system through trial and error tutoring law students.

I was a very good law student, as I mentioned above.

But, as they say, you truly learn by teaching.

It was not until I really tutored law students that I really understood consciously how to do well in law school. This program reflects a decade of experience working with hundreds of real law students on law schools exam, helping them focus on and really practice the things that matter.

So what is in Kick The Crap out of Law School?

This is a screenshot of what is waiting for your right now — the main page of the course.

This premium online course provides a mix of video and written lessons.

But it is not passive.

You must work.

There are exercises where you will write out written answers to issue-spotting exercises, so that you develop the specific skill that will get you As in law school.

I will give you the tools you need to assess your r own performance so you can become better, faster and stronger!!!

My job is to help you help yourself.

Now, at a high level, here is the overall structure of the course: (Guaranteed, this will change later, but this is it for now).

And here is how it would look like on your mobile phone:

This premium online course provides a mix of video and written lessons.

We start with some general strategy lessons.

Then we get into specific, subject areas that you will be tested on, like criminal law, property and contracts.

Course Content: General Strategy

KTCOOLS starts off with an overview of law school and how to study for it.

We start with a general strategy for approaching law school. 

There are three keys to success:  mastering the law, mastering issue spotting, and mastering your professor. 

This strategy is connected to the specific things in law school that drive success (your grades, which are based on your final exams, which are based on your ability to master the three things I just mentioned).

Since the final exam is all-important, we begin with a discussion of that and just what a strange thing it is.

Meanwhile, we provide specific tactics and, more importantly, the deep psychology of law school. 

Despite final exams being the only thing that mattered, law school piles on a lot of other work that gets in the way. 

I give you super-specific tactics that you can apply right away (Quick Wins) to avoid huge time sucks that do not matter for your final grades.

Now, if you go through this general material alone and apply these tactics to your law school life, you will be ahead of the vast majority of your law school classmates and feel much better about law school.

Now, this module alone is worth the price of the course.  If you apply these tactics to your law school life — really apply them — you will be ahead of most of your law school classmates and feel much better about law school.

Here is a preview of my Strategy Overview:

Master the Law

The next unit is about how you Master the Law.

We discuss how to really study the law—in a better way that does not involve reading and re-reading cases.

We discuss specific tactics on how to prepare an outline for your 1L classes (and more importantly, why you should do so).

We also discuss specific tips on how to organize material to maximize your chances of exam success.

Here is a preview:

Master Issue Spotting

The next unit is about how you Master Issue Spotting, the key skill on law school exams.

• Includes nearly 40 bite-sized written and video lessons providing super-specific exam tactics, including
  • IRAC – what it is, what other people get wrong, and how to actually apply it.
  • Issues – What they are, How to Spot Them
  • Analysis –
• This is the nitty gritty.  You want and need tactics that you can’t find anywhere else.  They are here.
• Includes specific tips on preparing the month before your final exams.
• Includes how to approach taking your professor’s practice exams.

Here is a preview of Mastering Issue Spotting (I have a lot to say about this):

Mastering Your Prof

The next unit is Mastering Your Prof:

This unit includes specific tips on reading your professor, how to listen to your professor in class, and different kinds of professorial styles.

This section is super psychological, and it is the last step between and A- and an A.  Most of the work is in mastering the law and mastering issue spotting.  You should be able to get at least decent grades with those two skills alone (a lot of B+s and A-s, and occasional As).  But this part separates the A-s from the As.

This section helps you distinguish yourself from the other really good students.

Course Content:  Subject-Specific Units

The general strategy content is critical to understanding and mastering law school.

It is critical but not sufficient.

It is one thing to understand how to master the law; it is another to actually master it.

It is one thing to understand how to master issue spotting; it is another to actually write a good issue-spotting exam.

Think of the general strategy units as “book learning.”

Think of the subject specific units as your critical training units.

In fact, these subject-specific units are the beating heart of KTCOOLS.

You take the knowledge you gained on general strategy and tactics in earlier units, and you apply them for specific 1L classes:

030. Crim Law

040. Torts

050. Property

060. Contracts

070. Civ Pro

080. Con Law

090. Leg Reg/Admin Law

Each unit on a specific law school subject has four main sections: the Law, Hypos, Exams and the Exam Bank.  See, for example, Criminal Law:

The Law unit for each subject gives you the following:

• An outline to study the law
• Links to resources to study the law; and
• Exam-focused lessons that are super exam focused. 
• Here is an example of a law video from the Property unit discussing how the law of gifts works:

The Hypos unit for each subject gives you the following:

• A number of hypotheticals (fact patterns plus questions) that require you to apply substantive law from a particular subject.
• The hypos look like this:

But what makes your hypos so special, Larry?

Ooh, Glad you asked that! In short:

• I GIVE YOU THE LAW I WANT YOU TO APPLY
  • Many students don’t take practice exams early enough because they want to feel like they *know* the law better.
  • On my hypos, I give you the law I want you to use!
  • You can get good at issue spotting before you know all the law.
  • (That way, you can develop the all-important issue-spotting muscle early, before your classmates.)
  • NO ONE ELSE DOES THIS.  Check any other law school prep site if they do this. They do not. Nope.

• I GIVE YOU TONS OF FEEDBACK ON YOUR HYPOS
  • At best, other websites will post a model answer.
  • I do much more than that.
  • I give you a variety of ways to assess your own exams so that you will almost feel like I am tutoring you directly.
• These bits of FEEDBACK will include:

• Issue checklists. What issues did you get?  Did you miss parts of analysis?  This is maybe the most “objective” assessment (but it is NOT complete). Here is one of my issue checklists:

• Actual student answers and markups –
  • Review other approaches to the problem you just took, and compare how they wrote their answers with yours. 
  • See my direct feedback
  • Compare your answers with these to sharpen your sense of what a well-written answer looks like.
  • This is what one of my markups looks like:

• Model answers – where I can I provide my answer to a problem (although these are less helpful than you would think.
  • Note that some professors offer model answers that they write themselves. But these are usually insane. They often write them trying to identify every point that they had in mind, and they write them without the time pressure that actual students are under. In short, professor-written model answers are often unrealistically thorough and often, by being insanely good, discouraging to you.
• Video analysis: In places, watch me mark up a fact pattern and a student answer and listen to me walk through why I think a student wrote a good answer (or not):

The Exams unit for each subject (KTCOOLS TOTAL ONLY) gives you the following:

• Actual law school exams
• Actual student answers and my mark up of these exams.

The Exam Bank unit for each subject (KTCOOLS TOTAL ONLY) gives you the following:

• Links to as many actual law school exams as are publicly accessible.
• Direct request forms to me if you want me to analyze

* * *

A word about these sections – subject-specific hypos and exams.

These sections are the most important part of the course.

Put another way: 

My students who really worked through these exercises did the best of any law students I know.

Like, they reached the highest levels at top law schools.

Top-of-the-class students at Harvard, Berkeley, Stanford, Chicago, Texas, etc., etc., etc.

NO OTHER COURSE that I know of provides this many hypotheticals and exams with real self-assessment tools.

You’ve read a lot about deliberate practice.

Deliberate practice requires feedback.

You don’t get this level of feedback with other courses.

I give you as much feedback in this course as I can without sitting right next to you.

These units are almost like . . . one-on-one tutoring with me.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does this really work?

A: Yes. Mostly I have noticed that students who do the work — those who get the A.

Q: OK, what if I try it and don’t love it?

A: You can test drive the course. If you don’t like it, just cancel within 60 days of your payment, and we’ll refund your money. No worries, no hard feelings.

Let me say again:  If you do not like the course, I offer a no-fuss, 60-day, 100% money back guarantee.

I think you will find that my step-by-step tips on how to study law are unique and helpful, that the hypos and self-assessment will help you apply these techniques.

You will find that getting access to this structured system is worth not just the modest price (remember, so-called law prep courses start at several thousand dollars), but also your time and attention.

Again, if you don’t agree, you can cancel within 60 days of purchasing the course for a full money-back guarantee. No worries at all.

By the way, if you stick around, you will have access to new materials I create. You will have access to any new materials I add to existing modules, as well as advanced and bonus material that I throw in down the line, and to the goodies and bonuses I add later to stack value and make the course even better. It’s my goal to make sure there’s always valuable new material for you to enjoy during your law school journey (and after).

Q: What makes KTCOOLS better than Law Preview or other courses?

A: Other programs buy into the professor’s view of things. It is professors teaching the course and they lack perspective, funny enough, on how to do well on exams. They tend to provide you “previews” of substantive areas as well. But they spend very little time on exam-specific tactics and don’t give you comprehensive practice doing issue spotting. Law Preview, in particular, spends much more time trying to teach you substantive law and very little on exam tactics, much less actually making your practice your issue spotting exam skills.

Q: Can you guarantee that I will get As?

A: No. Seriously, if you want some sort of guarantee of As with metaphysical certainty, this course is not for you.  I give you a 60 day 100% money back guarantee if you don’t like the course.  But anyone who tells you they can “guarantee” you, with 100% certainty, that you will get straight As is lying.

I can tell you that the techniques you will learn in KTCOOLS are battle-tested and have resulted in students at the best law schools getting top grades. The difference is you. You need to work hard. And you need to be creative on your own. But I give you all the tools you need to do well. In my experience, if you follow the system, you are very, very likely to do as well as you need to get the legal career of your dreams.  But you have to follow the system.

Q: Do I really need to study over the summer? Do I really need this?

A: What do you think?  Are you really going to listen to anonymous 2Ls on Reddit or Top Law Schools who claim preparing the summer before is a “waste of time,” that they did “just fine” without preparing, and that you should just enjoy yourself before law school starts?

So many responses to this.  First, did those 2Ls who claimed summer prep was a waste of time get As in law school?  What does it mean that they did “just fine”?

Second, while preparing in the wrong way might be a waste of time (reading Law School Confidential, reading casebooks, etc.), KTCOOLS offers a structured system that prepares in the precise ways that worked for hundreds of top law students at top law schools.

Third, frankly, you don’t have to kill your summer.  Why are people so binary, so either/or?  Why can’t you do a little bit of prep over the summer AND have a fun summer?  Will it utterly ruin your enjoyment of that vacation, that book, that drink, that sex, that video game if you look at any academic material over the summer?

Will a single hour of academic preparation really be a turd in your summer fun punch bowl?

Conversely, imagine those 2Ls and 3Ls on Reddit and Top Law Schools who did “just fine” by not “wasting their time” by preparing over the summer.  If having to do a little bit of work over the summer is stressful, can you imagine how stressful it is to be $250,000 in debt and jobless because you were violently allergic to working a little bit over the summer to get ahead in law school?

(I have a theory that some of those alleged 2L commenters who urge people not to prepare over the summer are crazy and immoral 0Ls who are preparing over the summer, like you should, but want to keep the curve easy by discouraging other 0Ls from preparing, too.  I guess these are the mythical students who rip pages out of hornbooks from the library — as if those hornbooks help anyone, but whatever.)

Do you really want to wait and find out the hard way that summer prep might have made your life easier?  In my experience, the best students started this course over the summer — they had time to patiently and carefully review the materials here.

Even fall prep (especially early fall) is better than nothing.  Even if the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time to plant a tree is right now.

Q: What does KTCOOLS offer that your free Larry Law Law or Law School Hacker materials do not?  You have all ready provided a ton of tips on your site and in your 70-page ebook.

A:  True dat.  I work hard to publish a lot of helpful tips for free because I believe that law school is way too confusing as it is.  KTCOOLS contains even more tips but, most importantly, it is an entire system designed to structure for your preparation and push you to engage in what experts call “deliberate practice.”  Unlike most law school prep courses, KTCOOLS provides tons of practice hypos and exams and, unlike any other course, substantial self-assessment materials — sheets that help you score your own exam, model answers and video analysis by yours truly.  You can self assess your performance at your own pace.  (And, if you buy KTCOOLS Mentor, you can get individualized feedback from me as well).  No other course helps you do this quite this way and surprisingly law schools provide very few resources this way even though practicing exams like this is the one thing that is most important to practice to get As.

Q:  What kind of time commitment is KTCOOLS?  I’m busy working this summer (or: I only saw KTCOOLS after I started law school and am starting in the fall while I am in class). 

A:  I think even if you go slow, 1 to 2 hours per day for 4-8 weeks should be adequate to put you ahead of most of your classmates.

If you start in the summer and are not working, you can get through a lot of the materials faster.  There is a lot of passive material that you can absorb more quickly.

BUT the key for this course is deliberate practice.  1 to 2 hours a day means, in essence, that you do a practice hypo or exam every day.  You will do hard work, but it will be fun (I write crazy hypos to keep you entertained).

What you should not do, in my mind, is use KTCOOLS at the very end of the semester.  You can still get something out of the course even several weeks before your exams.  But KTCOOLS was essentially designed as a prep course (i.e., “preparatory,” meaning “I will do a bunch of stuff in advance of an important deadline”).

KTCOOLS was not designed as a crash course/lifejacket/panic button/airplane oxygen mask/saran wrap condom.  OK?

The important thing, really, is:  slow and steady wins the race.   If you give yourself some time — at least 3-4 weeks, even if you are busy with work or law school classes — you can get a ton of value out of KTCOOLS.

And if you start even earlier, and work steadily, you will built enormous issue-spotting muscles that will allow you to crush your exams like the Hulk crushes . . . anything, basically.

Q: I am in college and haven’t taken the LSAT.  Should I buy KTCOOLS now?  Will this help me with law school in advance?

A:  Look, if you are 100% certain you are going to law school, you can buy KTCOOLS now and even maybe save money (historically, I have raised prices every time I have opened the course for sales).

Ideally, you buy the course when you know you are headed to law school, as early as the spring before your 1L year.  You’ve paid the deposit, or you’ve gotten into at least one law school, and you know you are going.  I suppose it’s even OK if you know, by the numbers (GPA and LSAT), that you are going to get in somewhere, and in your mind it’s just a matter of where.  Buy KTCOOLS.

BUT:  Do not buy KTCOOLS if you just have the idea that you want to go to law school.  Do not buy KTCOOLS if you have neither registered for the LSAT nor prepared applications for law school.  If you’ve taken no concrete steps to head for law school, then do not buy KTCOOLS.

I mention this because some college students, or graduates, have asked me if they can buy KTCOOLS before taking the LSAT or applying for law school.  I mean, this is like buying a saddle before you even know if you’re going to buy a horse, no?  At least order the horse in the mail (isn’t that how you buy horses) before you buy the saddle.

If you’re somewhere in between — you’re taking the LSAT, or you’ve taken the LSAT once and are retaking it, or you are in the middle of submitting applications — then go ahead.

(By the way, there is such a thing as buying and working on KTCOOLS clearly too early.  To that one really hyper ambitious high school student who asked if he should buy KTCOOLS:  respect, but patience, dude.  Patience.  Life a little first!)

Q: I have no intention of going to law school, but I want to learn a lot about the law because my job involves the law somehow.  Should I buy KTCOOLS?

A:  You can, but frankly, KTCOOLS is focused on skill-building for law school students.   You can learn about substantive laws this way (I have plenty of materials on this), but that is not the purpose of the course.  I mean, you can use a kettle bell as a hammer or a paper weight, but that’s not what it’s really for.  It’s meant for building muscle.  So is KTCOOLS.  MENTAL MUSCLES.

If you’re merely curious about the law with no intention at all of going to law school, buy a book or two.

Q: I am Canadian (or Australian, English, etc.).  Will KTCOOLS help me? 

A:  KTCOOLS was designed with U.S. students in mind, but many Canadian students have purchased KTCOOLS and gotten tremendous value out of it.

There are of course differences between U.S. and Canadian law.  In particular, civil procedure and constitutional law — laws that reflect relatively recent codification of law by two different countries’ legislatures — are going to be more different.  However, torts, property, contracts and criminal law are reasonably similar given the shared English common law tradition in both the U.S. and Canada.

Here is why my Canadian students do get a tremendous benefit from KTCOOLS:  What is unique about KTCOOLS is not the knowledge or “content” per se, but the skill-building aspect of the course.  KTCOOLS makes you practice the skill of issue-spotting, which is the focus of your final exams in both the U.S. and Canada.  No other online course or book, in the U.S. or Canada, that focuses so specifically on the ability to work on practice exams at your own pace, and be able to assess yourself on those exams, and teach yourself the skills you need to be at the top of your class. As to other English common law countries — such as England, Australia, etc — I am less certain.  You are welcome to buy, but keep in mind that 60 day, 100% money back guarantee.

Okay.  What are you waiting for?

In many years as a lawyer, I learned to give advice that people did not want but had to hear.

That has been useful (sometimes) in my non-lawyer life and sitting down with friends and telling them shit that they did not want to hear.

So here it is:  As your trusted counselor and adviser (I AM NOT GIVING LEGAL ADVICE HERE, I am giving friendly career advice), I really believe it is my job to tell you that it is in your interest to buy this course.

You get ONE SHOT at doing law school right.

You can’t go back and re-do it.

You have before you a system — a tested system based on hard-earned experience that has worked for other students who followed it diligently before you.

This system, in my view, maximizes your chances at doing well in law school.

And doing well in law school NOW can change your future forever.

Doing well in law school can mean the difference between debt and success, a career filled with boredom taking orders, and a career in which you can be .

Law school is not for everyone.  (In fact, I think it is not for most people.)

But if you are truly committed to excellence in your legal career — buy my course and learn my system.

This is a great value for money.

For the cost of about two hours of individual tutoring, you can get dozens of hours of material, all culled from my one-on-one tutoring program.

(And for a little bit more, you can get even more help, including direct access to me.)

It is like sitting with me for hours AND getting the benefit of my best exam tips and actual commentary I have made on my students practice tests.

I am con stantly adding content and features, and as more people join, the more valuable the course is.

So buy it today!
