The Law School Toolbox Podcast: Tools for Law Students from 1L to the Bar Exam, and Beyond

006: Lessons Learned About Learning

Listen Later

Today we’re excited to be discussing one of our very favorite topics – Learning! I know you’re shocked that this is a topic we find interesting…but we do. Especially right now, when Alison is living in Mexico trying to learn Spanish and Lee is watching her one-year-old son learn new stuff every day.

 

We’re pretty convinced that the lessons from learning a language, or learning to walk, apply equally to learning in law school!

 

Here's what's discussed in this episode:

  • How do children approach learning, and what can we learn from them?
  • What's it like learning another language, and how do these lessons apply to law school?
  • Why you need to do the things that make you uncomfortable to really learn effectively
  • Why being smart isn't enough (Hint: You still have to work hard)
  • What we can all learn from Brene Brown about learning (love her!)
  • Practical ways to develop your learning resilience

    • Enjoy!
