Reading law is the method by which persons in common law countries, particularly the United States, entered the legal profession before the advent of law schools. This usage specifically refers to a means of entering the profession (although in England it is still customary to say that a university undergraduate is "reading" a course, which may be law or any other). Reading the law consists of an extended internship or apprenticeship under the tutelage or mentoring of an experienced lawyer. A small number of U.S. jurisdictions still permit this practice today.
History
United States
In colonial America, as in Britain in that day, law schools did not exist at all until Litchfield Law School was founded in 1773. Within a few years following the American Revolution, some universities such as the College of William and Mary and the University of Pennsylvania established a "Chair in Law". However, the holder of this position would be the sole purveyor of legal education for the institution, and would give lectures designed to supplement, rather than replace, an apprenticeship. Even as a handful of law schools were established, they remained uncommon in the United States until the late nineteenth century. Most people who entered the legal profession did so through an apprenticeship which incorporated a period of study under the supervision of an experienced attorney. This usually encompassed the reading of the works considered at the time to be the most authoritative on the law, such as Edward Coke's Institutes of the Lawes of England, William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, and similar texts.

If there is one law school complaint I hear more than any other is that it is impossible to do all the reading. When one professor assigns 30 pages of reading a night, it doesn't sound like much. But you have to realize that EVERY professor is assigning the same amount. If three professors assign 30 pages each, those 90 pages start to add up.

Get our Ultimate Guide to Cases & Briefs (FREE) here: https://www.legaleagleprep.com/caseguide You’ll learn how to read cases in five minutes and summarize them in 3 lines. It will change the way you read your casebook.
If there is one law school complaint I hear more than any other is that it is impossible to do all the reading. When one professor assigns 30 pages of reading a night, it doesn't sound like much. But you have to realize that EVERY professor is assigning the same amount. If three professors assign 30 pages each, those 90 pages start to add up. Here is the worst part: the average reading speed for cases is 10 pages per hour.
Using the standard method of reading cases (diving head first into the case, reading the case three times, picking out the most important facts of the case, writing a case brief that is almost as long as the case itself, and then blindly heading to class), could take an entire day. That’s time you don’t have in law school.
So we came up with a better way. I got tired of trying to "stir cement with my eyelashes." I realized that the way I was reading my cases was backwards. I also realized that the single worst way to read a case was to dive head first into the opinion with no context.
The trick is to read the supplements and commercial outlines first. Read several of them. Then, once you have an idea of what is important about the case, and only then, read the text of the case itself. This “Flipped Case Method” will save you hours of time and make you far more prepared for class discussion.
Boom.

The first and likely biggest thing on the list is that there is a ton of reading in law school. Law school reading is super dense and it's not like reading for other programs. Another hard thing about law school is the amount of legal research and legal writing you have to do as a student. It takes a ton of time to get used to the way that lawyers do things. Additionally, the way you study in law school is completely different from other schools, but I have an other video about that up on my channel. Hopefully, you learned something about law school from this video and feel more prepared to have a productive law school journey. What else about law school are you curious about? Thanks again for watching, and I'll see you next time!

Reading law is the method by which persons in common law countries, particularly the United States, entered the legal profession before the advent of law schools. This usage specifically refers to a means of entering the profession (although in England it is still customary to say that a university undergraduate is "reading" a course, which may be law or any other). Reading the law consists of an extended internship or apprenticeship under the tutelage or mentoring of an experienced lawyer. A small number of U.S. jurisdictions still permit this practice today.
History
United States
In colonial America, as in Britain in that day, law schools did not exist at all until Litchfield Law School was founded in 1773. Within a few years following the American Revolution, some universities such as the College of William and Mary and the University of Pennsylvania established a "Chair in Law". However, the holder of this position would be the sole purveyor of legal education for the institution, and would give lectures designed to supplement, rather than replace, an apprenticeship. Even as a handful of law schools were established, they remained uncommon in the United States until the late nineteenth century. Most people who entered the legal profession did so through an apprenticeship which incorporated a period of study under the supervision of an experienced attorney. This usually encompassed the reading of the works considered at the time to be the most authoritative on the law, such as Edward Coke's Institutes of the Lawes of England, William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, and similar texts.
Music: T Gustafsson Lyrics: Dalegren Disposal of the sick Execution of the wicked A soil filled with centuries of remains Absurd ways of death Die, die by the sword Die, die by the rope This hearse is a one-way ride A ride into oblivion Enter the kingdom of scavengers Dressed up in shackles and chains Die, die by the axe Die, die by the flames Welcome to Rotting Hill - a realm of carnivores Guided by the stench an odour that marks the trail Sunrise over Rotting Hill - cursed throughout centuries Beasts shall unite on Rotting Hill Once a beast now a prey Hangman's law, join your ghosts Lost your limbs piece by piece Lost your head left to rot Welcome to Rotting Hill - a realm of carnivores Guided by the stench an odour that marks the trail Sunrise over Rotting Hill - cursed throughout centuries
