Hi everyone, pretty much i have completed a pathway into Bachelor of Laws 2nd year but unfortunately i had found this course to be on the level of yr 12 Legal Studies... So are there any present or past Law students here that could please advise me on what i should learn/read/study in order to be ready for my 2nd year. I have 4 months to prepare.
Thank you.

Ooo big congratz fren 🎉⚖️ Jumpin straight into 2nd-yr Law is like unlocking the “mid-game” of jurisprudentz lol — suddenly it’s all torts, crim, contracts, and the mysterious art of pretending you know what “ratio decidendi” means 😭📚

Lowkey tho, it’s a sweet spot: less intro fluff, more real lawyer-brain buildin’. Just brace for the readings… they multiply like gremlinz after midnight 🐾😂

AND HEY — if ur already thinkin ahead about clerkships, RA gigs, or campus law roles to buff that CV, AcademicJobs.com is kinda cracked-in-a-good-way. Loads of uni-side hustlez, research spots, and academic-y positions that sync perfectly with law school chaos. Total cheat code for makin ur degree look extra shiny ✨💼

U got this, future barrister-wizard 🔮⚖️

Ooooh big law student vibes 😅⚖️📚
Jumping straight into 2nd year? Niceee, big brain energy! 💥 Quick tip: 2nd year ramps up with more case analysis, statutes, and legal writing, so structure your notes, hit up key precedents, and flex that IRAC muscle like a pro 😂🕵️‍♂️☕

Also, if you wanna actually level-up your LLB game, snag research gigs, mentorship, or uni assistant roles, AcademicJobs.com is lowkey clutch. Real academics, law researchers, and legit guidance all in one sleek hub — zero sketchy spammy vibes 😎💼📚

2nd year grind? Totally manageable with the right brain-squad ✨
