Im a political science and Law student in the US. I go to a college. That lets me take courses that one normally takes in law school with my poli sci degree. The law I will be practicing once I graduate will be criminal and family law, so other law I can touch on, but not give detailed answers. Again, I am a student not an attorney so no legal advice.

Hey there, what would you say needs the biggest change in American law right now? And what would a potential good change look like?
As an attorney with a poli. sci. undergrad, like the lot of us clowns, this raises some red flags. I also took “law” classes in undergrad but they were nothing remotely representative of a law school class (i.e. Business Law). Is this a “3 + 3”, streamlined/reduced-credit program like UMKC offers? Do your law credits count as ABA accredited law school courses towards an ability to sit the bar exam in a majority of U.S. jurisdictions or is this some small private college in California where you have to sit the bar in state only? Are there “cold calls” where a student(s) is put “on call” to solely work through a case during a class period? Do you have the ability to engage in extra curricular activities like journals and moot court that competes nationally? Are there traditional (JD only) students in your law classes and how is your GPA weighted in comparison? Where is this law school in the mix of rankings (i.e. T-14, tier-1 through 4, unranked)?
I have a few questions:
How’s law school so far? Is it THAT hard, or does it just require intense studying, memorizing, and reading?
What drove you to pursue law?
Do you have international students in your law school? i.e students who studied college (specifically political science as well), but pursued law in the US?

what do you wanna do when you get out?
Are you an undergraduate student at the moment? In your classes (also doing undergraduate) are there older/mature age students?
In your law degree, are there a lot of Group assignments? Or is it all mainly Individual Assignments? What percentage (roughly) would you say it is
Are you doing a double degree? If so, do you prefer Political Science or Law?
