How I Ranked 1st in Law School Finals - Study With Me
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- In my law school exams last summer I topped the 150 students who sat the exams in London, using a pretty simple but highly effective exam prep technique. The study methods I share in this video are the same ones that I helped me dramatically improve my exam results between my first and final years at Cambridge University 😀
This 2-day study with me should hopefully give you an idea of how I spend a couple of days studying for exams towards the start of my revision process. I've tried to combine practical study tips with more of a day in the life / study with me style, so let me know what you think of the vid in the comments 🤗
Hope you're keeping well in isolation and enjoy xx

Who I am:
I'm a trainee lawyer studying in London. I graduated from Cambridge, speak French and Spanish and don’t believe in “natural talent” 😮 BUT... I do believe that TOGETHER, WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF POSITIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS.

This dude’s gonna get a much bigger audience soon
WOOOOO!! Thanks so much Roberto! Really means a lot and very excited for things to come :)
@@liam.porritt you deserve it!
You called it
"be happy with what you have, while working for what you want." I love this quote. Keeping it lol.
🤗🤗
OMG can’t believe I only found your channel now - I’m a law student as well and found this really helpful🤗
Thanks so much! Good luck with everything Elena 😁
🤣 LOL I was thinking to myself this is the lawyer version of Ali Abdaal and then I saw your description 👌nice work man gonna borrow inspiration for my own videos
This guy is absolutely amazing. He's relatable.
Thank you so so much! Glad you’re finding my vids relatable 😁
So true 🤗
"I'm never happy to leave something in my notes to memorise without understanding the logic behind the idea" *laughs in physics*
Diana fr I’m just like ah okay let me just use this formula
laughs in quantum mechanics
@@oximas wait till you get to qft
@@randomhuman1754 lol... 99% of ppl who use QFT never pause to assess let alone ask about all of the unwritten assumptions underpinning its "rigor"
I'm in first-year law and I've finally decided (two weeks before exams) to actually pull myself together...you are a godsend
Damn good luck
Lol. I've been qualified 20 years and I still do the wandering around explaining thing before I speak at important meetings. Great advice for exams and for practice too!
In the Philippines we need to study *8 subjects* and their exams is compressed in 1 month; 4 Sundays with 2 exams per Sunday where one is in the morning and the other in the afternoon. It’s the most difficult exam in the country and it wrecks you mentally, financially, physically, etc. I hope it’s easier and more efficient in other countries. And for anyone who wants to venture into law school - make sure you’re passionate and consistently discipled to *WANT* to become a lawyer.
I never knew someone that memorises like me. I always need to walk around my room to memorise and people thought I was strange for doing that. I'm glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work 😊😊
Little Joana I do the same like you do and I thought I was the only one
Hi, Liam. I'm a law student in the Philippines and I stumbled upon your video after typing the keywords "study with me law student". Hope you continue with this kind of content. This keeps me motivated despite everything. ✌️
Thank you so much Bernice! Glad you enjoyed and can’t wait to share more videos with you soon - good luck with everything 🤗
Everyone has their own strategies. Congratulations on getting #1! Since there is only 1 number 1 spot, describing the other students' experiences could be helpful
Man u r my drug
U motivate me way too much than needed 🤣 appreciate the hard work u put into these vids
sahal anoop Thanks so much man! Hugely appreciated, and hope I can continue to help 🤗🤗
So I‘m a law student in Germany and honestly searched for videos like these for months!! Thank you soo much for all the work you‘re putting in them🙏🏼 much love
Keep in mind that he is studying common law. Germany has civil law. Applying his methods in Germany will result in complete failure. True and tested for civil law: Write tests (Klausuren).
@@anja5311 why what's wrong
@@fifireesha In Germany you do not take tests that require you to answers single questions or to quote facts. You have to apply a systemic approach to the subject/case. In other words: You thumb through the whole civil code to find a solution to a case, applying abstract principles to a concrete case.
Just before my law exam in a month happy to find you
@ monira mosharraf clat eh . same here
Back again one month more to do last law exams pray for me
I like how everything you say has a point to make. Very concise but clear. I understood everything throughout.🥺🥺
Thank you 🤗
Thank you! This is so relatable..i just subscribed.
Memorizing by reading out loud is just brilliant. You're reading, and at the same time you're hearing yourself read it..which is twice as more effective than just reading it in your mind. Also, the added benefit of not drifting away or falling asleep.
We don't see much RUclipsrs doing this now. In fact you're the first i'm coming across.
Could you maybe think about doing a study with me style video sometime?
this is the most helpful and reassuring study video i’ve found!! i’ve tried flash cards, mind maps, literally EVERY revision method you can think! but i’ve always found reviewing and memorising notes make more sense and are better for me, so finding out that you use that method as well reassures me that what i’m doing ain’t wrong - and it works! thank you for these helpful tips - you’ve defo got a new subscriber! have a fab day 💓
Flashcards are good for discrete informations especially when you add an image but can be useless if you have to learn a whole text,
Mind mapping in this case is better
And Rewriting can be good also
Agree with all of this Hicham!
You are lifesaver mate . Respects from Turkish Law student.
flashcards don't work for me, also. Active recall is king, truly! If I don't walk in my room and talk to myself, i wont remember it. Thank you for this video, love it! It reassured my way of studying and gave me some new tips.
You've been on fire these past months, Liam! Another great video.Hope you're keeping well in these turbulent times! :)
Thank you so much Ben! This has made my Friday evening, so very much appreciated!! Hope you're well too and hopefully will be able to keep making awesome videos :)
I aspire to be like you when I grow up... a lawyer, graduated 1st in class, hardworking... Wow.
So thats how Berlin from la casa de papel looked like 20yrs bfore....impressive
😂😂😂
☠️😂
He looks more like drake bell. Berlin really I dont see it
Kareena Thomas drake bell are u blind
Absolutely loveedd this! Your editing is so on point! 👌
Thank you so much Mani!!
Your videos are honestly a blessing to watch. I appreciate the time you take in editing them and passing on your knowledge to us. I am not quite finished with high school yet but am sure I want to pursue law, not to mention this quarantine has taken a toll on my learning, however my motivation is stronger and you have helped immensely in keeping the flame alive. You sir will be a great lawyer one day and I hope to god that you succeed. 👍
Thanks so much Oscar! Good luck to you and I really appreciate that you took the time to send this 😀😀
Thank god I found your channel you're so motivating! I'm also a Law student, almost half way through final exams and man I was about to give up , like LAW IS HARD but we got this hahaha🤍😅
thanks so much, genuinely one of the most helpful and real yt channels out there!
Wahhhh!! Thank you Sophie! This has really made me smile :) Hope I can keep things helpful and real... forever :p
if there's one thing that helped me with examinations and preparing for such exams, it is this: making deductions. It not only demonstrates that you "know" the material, it indicates that you know how to think about the material in a critical way.
also: 90 percent of what you study will, ultimately, be forgotten so focus only on the most important material.
I'm only a few minutes in and I'm already tired and don't want to go to school tomorrow just from watching lol.
Wow how did I just find your channel now? Thankyou, thankyou and thankyou! I'm an aspiring law student currently studying A-levels via online distance learning (and admittedly falling behind) and this is exactly what I needed to sort myself out! Thankyou :)
I've implemented my version of your spaced repetition planner and so far it works pretty good for the subjects I have to study! So thanks for the advices!!!
Love to hear that Karin - hope you are staying well, and you're welcome for the advice as always 🤗 xx
@@liam.porritt I am well, hope you too!
You absolute legend! Very inspirational. Keep up the good work, hope you do well in your exams!
I could listen to you all day. I relate so much in your ways of studying especially in keeping the desk neat as much as possible even when highlighting or rambling down notes. I love it! 💕
Can’t describe how much I love this video and how helpful it was!!
Wahhh thank you so so much :)
Hi, Liam. I just want to tell you that you are so relatable and so on point in your discussion, not just dumping ideas to your audience. Plus, you encourage me so much. You have a lot of content to study in your law school, but you don’t lose focus. I am actually applying the Liam’s circles and burst. I love the brain splurge. More powers to you!
Found your channel randomly and started binge watching your videos and enjoyed every second of it. Your videos motivate me to do my work.
Btw ur underrated and definitely gonna go massive soon
SkaDoodle Arts Facts
Hehe- thanks guys - honestly means so much 🤗
Also, would you please be able to do a video on how to write the perfect essay? ☺️
I have planned this out already actually, so will definitely try and do it at some point soon! Have quite a lot of ideas for videos though, so not sure exactly when I'll make it, but thanks for the recommendation and I'll definitely push this forward to make ASAP 😀
I agree👌🏼
I always used so many methods to study(yes it works but it was so time consuming), but your video just proved that it's better to have simple steps that are effective!! Thanks again Liam for the absolutely fantastic video :)
Hey Mariam! Yeh - I think it's tough to get a balance between finding the best techniques that really work for you, and spending too much time developing study materials and not enough time actually studying them! So yeh, for me I really prioritise active recall and spending as much time on that, such that I spend much less time on more complex study methods :)
@@liam.porritt exactly!!
I'm surprised because basically I follow these 3 steps to study.
Love your videos. ❤
Amazing! Would you say your method of memorising is pretty similar to mine!? Glad you enjoyed and thanks again for watching 🤗
God I hate law school. I've tried it all....I'm just not passionate about it at all. I don't know why I chose This. This just motivated me to quit. Architecture school here I come.
L M glad you found a new path to follow 😃
Good luck with architecture school :)
@Kenn Klein how much did they pay you for that
I smell laziness
@Kenn Klein yeah i rather not be blacklisted by the Bar committee before i even have my JD
My sister (also a law student) does similar studying techniques. Her main difference is when she’s memorising her work, she’ll explain to us (her family who has no knowledge of law practices) in a way that we can understand or to her boyfriend who is a practicing lawyer.
Lucky her having a family willing to listen 😂
You’re one of my favourite new finds on RUclips , next to Anas Nuur Ali and Kharma medic.
Keep up the great work man. 😊
I'm also a law RUclipsr and I can only aspire to this level of academic and video quality performance haha. Keep up the awesome work man
A true gem. U r such an inspiration👏....Love all ur videos ❤❤😍
Thank you so so much Sneha!! Really means a lot 🤗xx
@@liam.porritt :-)💫
Your videos have been motivating me so much for Oxford Finals! keep it up :)
Hey Viola! Thanks so much for this - honoured to be in such esteemed company and really hope your finals go well 🤗 Hopefully speak again soon x
I get so confused with colors but then again I am color blind. I do envy those who aren't.
You look like a nice, down to earth guy. Thanks for the content, your hardwork is much appriciated.
hands down the best revision video I've ever seen!! Thank you so much for this - a first year law student
I don't know why but i actually watched this video like 10 times in a row, such great quality!!
This video is extremely helpful! Do you have any videos on essay writings? For example, how you understand, research, plan and structure your essays? Thank you so much Liam :)
Thank you so much - so glad you found it helpful!! I've had a couple of people asking me that now so will hopefully make a video on essay writing soon! Thanks again and see you again soon xx
Hey Liam,
I hope you’re well.
Did you manage to make this video yet? If so please link it in the comments here.
Love your content. Thank you for bringing so much value to my study life. All the best to you!
Thank you so much for commenting and subscribing! SO glad you found this helpful and I look forward to seeing you again very soon in another video 🤗
This is incredibly helpful, and now has inspired me to go study using this method aha thank you!!
Your videos are so helpful . I can see the changes in my results. I appreciate the detailed explanation. Thanks ya!
This is an amazing channel !! Binge watching currently, so glad I found it !!
You should look into using Notion instead of Excel for your space repetition scheduling! It allows you to do this, as well as directly linking to your notes created in Notion for an efficient experience. Ali Abdaal actually has some good videos on Notion; you should check it out!!
This is so helpful and structured! If only i had the patience to study like you all day long..
Love this type of high quality content, always happy to find a new channel to subscribe to that provides this type, really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for this! Will be very helpful when I start my law programme in October!
You are simply amazing, continue with this good work! Btw im also master student for criminal law, i enjoy watching your videos and tips!
Thank you so so much 😁😁
Starting my legal studies, thank you for the tips
I love your love for knowledge. I think it's so interesting. You question things and think deeply I can tell. Hey were on lock down... have you ever thought about doing a Q and A?
If so two questions I want to ask is
How old are you?
What other things do you enjoy learning about besides academics?
Your videos make me motivate for my future university plan that I have!
you're amazing for this!
I've always been the student that types out everything the lecturer is saying... needless to say I've never done very well in exams. So your videos are extremely helpful, thank you.
A no nonsense video. Finally someone who actually teaches you how to make notes and study rather than focusing on beautifying your notes.
Thanks buddy 🤗🤗
Great Video Liam! I always enjoy watching your content! It had helped structure my university stuff!
My procrastination is validated bc I’m watching this useful video, right?? So basically I’m being productive😍😂
NNS 12 100% allowed to procrastinate when you’re watching productivity happen = that’s how osmosis works, right? 😂
Same! 😂
You’re really Amazing and ur Reading playlist on Apple Music is epic And I’m Law Student as well 😂❤️🔥
Interesting actually, I constantly explain concepts to an invisible third person in my head and my retention and quality of explication from that process is fantastic, but I for whatever reason never put the dots together to use it for law study. My school uses open book exams so I was first skeptical of whether this technique was a closed book technique (why remember all the details when you have a cheat sheet) but now I actually see great value in knowing and revising the information through that explanatory voice as an aid in application even if the materials are already right in front of you. I find that my writing muddies the point and confuses my answers because it becomes too complicated or I achieve to fit as much meaning in as possible while losing value as a cohesive argument which may be resolved by simplifying and creating logical connections through your suggested process of explaining the law to the ghosts in your walls. Cool vid.
Had a blast reading this, thanks!
Yayyyyy!!!!! Congratulations!!!! 🎊🍾 The next Specter in line-
“...another me”- Harvey Spector
Dont know how i got your Channel. But when i watch YOUR videos i become your fan as a law student. Can you make some videos how you make your notes which make me so much excited?
Keep up the good work. 🙂🙂
Check out this video, and thanks for the comment - really glad you like my videos 🤗

Hey Liam thanks for the insightful video!
Would you ever consider making a video on how to secure a training contract at magic circle law firms or a video on how you prepared for the Cambridge interview?
Thanks again for the wonderful content and good luck on your LPC exams!
Thanks a lot Cole! Ummm, yeh definitely will do a video with a bit more detail on how I got a TC - I want to do this with HR at Clifford Chance though so we can ask each other questions, as I think that will be really useful and a bit different to what other people have already done :)... But obviously have to wait until the end of lockdown for that!
Then, as for the Cambridge interview, I have considered it, but this varies soooooo much between different subjects that to be honest I don't think it would be that useful! Plus, it was a long time ago for me, so I feel others are better placed to do this than I am!
Thanks a lot though, and this has definitely prompted me to think about the TC video! Thanks a lot and good luck to you too :)
Liam Porritt which law school did you go to?
Really Amazing content. Really hope more people get to know about you soon!
finally a relatable study with me video
Thanks for this, Liam.. I've always been a huge fan of Ali's method but wondered how the hell it would work for my subject (law) vs. medicine. Thank you so much!
I love watching your videos! You motivate me and it shows you put a lot effort in every video ((;
Thank you so much!!
K THIS IS GONNA COME HANDY IN LAW SCHOOL IN A COUPLE MONTHS
Your videos are sooo inspiring!! Can't wait for you to blow up soon ❤️
Pls do more vids...im a pre law student ...and I love this motivation...pls make more day in the lives
I love this channel.periodttt.
High value content! Thanks for being great, I subscribed 🙂👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks so much Seth! Really glad you enjoyed and see you again soon 🤗🤗
How come I never encountered your videos before? Well better late than never. 😉 I subscribed after watching just one video. 😂 Best wishes.👏
So informative and enjoyable to watch!
Oh my God! I use the exact same technique of talking to myself until I get dehydrated. My mom usually comes to my room and asks me if I am talking to someone haha. Revising my notes out loud allows me to narrate a story haha. I mainly use this technique for History, Geography, philosophy etc.
Love your videos... Please make a video on memorising.. as you are law student must have to memorise alot of stuffs.... Love from India 🇮🇳
You are a great inspiration, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for your quality content!
I will start over my review and apply this. Thank you!!!
It's really inconvenient having short term memory and the attention span of a child. I wish I could be more focused when studying.
Amazing vid, im late but keep looking through all of your vids hehe
Enhorabuena Liam!
Lo que aún no he conseguido que me encaje del active recall es que, para muchas de mis asignaturas, el examen consiste en el desarrollo de un subapartado de un tema en concreto. Una asignatura semestral suele tener 20 temas y unos 6 subapartados, eso hace 120 inputs para mi excel de active recall por lo que se me hace muy dificil to keep track.
Mucha suerte si aún te quedan exámenes que defender, aquí en España serán online pero todavía no sabemos las fechas y la incertidumbre hace que cada vez sea más difícil mantener el ritmo... 🤪
Hola! Y te aconsejaría que uses los 20 temas semestrales para crear el excel de active recall y que aún si al principio no tienes tiempo para revisar el tema entero, notes en the cell de este tema que lo has estudiado con el color relevante! Esto es lo que hago yo y funciona bien porque tu sabes en que subapartados tienes que pasar más tiempo, aún si no lo dice en tu excel spreadsheet! Espero que lo intentes y dime lo que piensas!
Gracias y suerte con tus estudios y examenes :)
@@liam.porritt Gracias Liam! Lo intentaré así como me indicas, es mucho mas eficiente que crear una linea para cada subapartado, me llevaría días haha. Un abrazo y suerte también! Me quedo sin duda por tu canal esperando nuevos videos (L)
Thanks for the video, very helpfull!!
keep it up! 👍👍
Thank you!!
Motivation! Thank you so much, it was so helpfull!
So glad it was helpful! xx
What kind of music do you hear while learning? I discovred your channel a few days ago and I love your channel. It is a big inspiration and motivation.
Thanks so much! Check out Sigur Ros and Tycho
You are going to be a great lawyer and one who will help it's reputation.
Bro your each video is a boundary if you know what I mean (cricket) you are great at this and pls continue even if you became a lawyer 😍😍love you mate from 🇮🇳
Hey Liam
Thank-you for the great content. I am also a law student and rated first at my university. :)
I am relatively new to RUclips and would like to expand on my legal knowledge through media.
Could you recommend any tools for editing videos and filming?
Kind Regards
Practically Speaking I use Final Cut Pro, which I love! A bit expensive to start out but well worth it if you’re going to spend any amount of time making videos 🤗🤗
My camera is the cheapest 4K camera (more or less) on the market, a Panasonic LUMIX G85 😁
Check out ali abdaal's course on skillshare
Just checked out your channel. I’m also from South Africa and I’m planning to pursue an LLB after I get my BA.
@@hicham.a Thank-you for your advice!
@@dimensia6942 Exciting! I will be getting started soon when the pandemic is over. Just testing the waters so long. I actually completed my BCom Law and LLB already (today would have been my graduation ceremony). I am doing my LLM and PLT now. I shall post guidance videos and assistance with core modules one of these days.
I always wander around while I study (as a fellow Law Student). I tend to walk around in our garden and my neighbours have told my parents they've seen me walk in circles 6 hours a day, for weeks.
