I know that most domestic candidates pass on their first attempt, but I’m starting to think I’m not gonna be one of them lol. I just cannot find the answers in my materials fast enough. The uoft indices are far too long for me, and I find myself always choosing the wrong keyword to look up. I’m not sure how people are annotating their detailed table of contents since there is so little space on the page.

I haven’t finished reading the civil litigation book and even everything that I have read I’ve barely absorbed. I’m really struggling to answer questions on the material that I’ve read. Don’t even get me started on the solicitor materials.

Im finding myself losing sleep and getting really anxious. This is mostly a rant, but if anyone else is feeling a similar way, you’re not alone.

On a more personal note, I discovered something about my long-term boyfriend in the first week of April and so I have the weight of a looming break up hanging over me like a cloud, and I don’t know how to cope :)

Domestic candidate here! I’ve been skipping from book to book, highlighting, and not really absorbing much. I’m honestly really stressed out… any advice would be great. Should I just do practice and start familiarizing myself with the books in that way rather than just reading?

I’m also still confused about how to use an index or DTOC… I’ve been looking through the UofT index summaries from last year and I’m not sure exactly what I should be doing. Should I become familiar with where different questions correspond on my index and then become fast at flipping to that exact page in the booklets?

Panicking 😭

I am curious if people generally look down on the field or consider it legitimate.

It has been gaining significant traction and top schools in the country and around the world teach it, but I’m wondering how lawyers in other practice areas perceive it. Usually there are a lot of bird law jokes.

Thanks :)
