11 Shows Every Future Lawyer Watches

In This Article:

Obviously, I'm a Political Science major and I 100% plan on going to law school following my undergrad years. Recently, I've started preparing for my LSAT and other practice tests so I'm reading, studying, and watching these 11 shows...

1. For The People

This show is nice because the actors are all playing characters barely older than I am, so it's a nice refresher from other lawyer shows.

2. Evil Genius

This is a confusing (twisty) series, that can force you to practice connecting evidence, suspects, and multiple cases.

3. How To Get Away With Murder

This is probably the most dramatic fictional series, but it's interesting to see the big, the bad, and the cover-ups.

4. Making A Murderer

Making A Murderer is hard to watch sometimes, watch and you'll see why.

5. The Good Fight

If you love badass women (who doesn't), watch The Good Fight.

6. Designated Survivor

Designated Survivor is just freaking awesome. I wish Tom Kirkman was my president.

7. American Crime

American Crime is fictional, but shows very real modern issues. Watching a fictional show usually leads people to get more educated on subjects that it portrays, which is important for ANYBODY to do!

8. Casting JonBenet

Casting JonBenet takes a look from multiple different angles: evidence, prosecutors, friends, etc. Everybody has a different idea of what happened, so what is yours?

9. The American Revolution

So, if you're like me... you have a dad that grounded you and only allowed you to watch this show whilst being grounded. Look at me now, almost a lawyer. (Obviously, he did something right!)

10. Black Mirror

Need to improve your cognitive thinking skills? Welcome to Black Mirror.

11. The Last Defense

If you haven't heard of Darlie Routier, please go watch this ASAP.

These shows all give you something different. Maybe one makes you get inside the head of a criminal, while the other teaches you how to connect the dots. Each of the shows (while some fictional) gives you different skills to develop, while being 'entertained' and stimulated. Definitely check these shows out!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
