*Aspiring lawyers and law students*

No doubt, if you are interested in being a lawyer and have taken the LSAT, you know about legal reasoning. Well, this is a precursor to the legal reasoning you will encounter in law school. As The Paper Chase effectively communicates, law school will teach you how to think like a lawyer. Yes, this is different from how you likely thought prior. Join me this week, as I talk about thinking like a lawyer. Put your lawyer hat on! #Lawyer talk #criticalthinking #legalese

Charles W. Kingsfield, Jr.: "You teach yourselves the law, but I train your minds. You come in here with a skull full of mush; you leave here thinking like a lawyer." The Paper Chase (1973).

Thinking like a lawyer means, in the first instance, thinking with care and precision, reading and speaking with attention to nuance and detail. It means paying attention to language, but also understanding that words can have myriad meanings and can often be manipulated. Princeton Scholar program
