    Great video. Do you mind by chance doing an in depth video about the process of scanning and binding your books (ie: where you get them from, how long the process typically takes and costs). I'm potentially going to law school soon and think that would be a beneficial resource to learn about as a means to save money!

    • @Sistersinlaw
      @Sistersinlaw  6 лет назад +6

      When I was an undergrad, I thought it was difficult balancing my classes, but law school is a whole different ball park. I spend a lot less time reading/briefing now because I do not brief every case, but when I was a 1L I would work well into the evenings every day.

    • @Sistersinlaw
      @Sistersinlaw  5 лет назад +5

      There are about four or five scanners in our library. If the professor requests it, a book or two remains on reserve. The machine scans two pages at a time in pdf form. If you can split up the work with another student or two, it'll take approximately an hour each max.

      @Sistersinlaw  6 лет назад +1

      Yes, I have committed to the investment funds group at my firm. Although I dabbled with the idea of going JD/MBA when I was in undergrad and in my first year of law school, I ultimately decided not to do it. This semester, I have cross-registered into a business school class, and I realized that I have some regrets. I do not have any tips on the process or the likes, but if it is something you actually want to do, go for it. I do not know anyone who regrets doing it, and if you decide to work in the private sector, a number of employers will provide a MBA bonus which surpasses any additional costs.
