second year exams

This week's classes were all spent reviewing and preparing us for the exams, which commence in two days time. I suppose this is typical, but at this point in the year, the professors have spent quite a bit of time with us, and having suffered through law school themselves, seem to take a little pity on us. They don't ease up on the exam, nor the grading. But they do seem to feel an urge to help us prepare for the battle. All urge us to read old exams, each talks about what approach they want to see, and all of them answered questions put to them on various topics from the course. I may be wrong, but I think this is the biggest exam season we'll see until it's time to sit the bar. First year felt big, but had less content that we were expected to have mastered. And everyone tells us that after this year, things change materially. Less substantive law classes for sure, somewhat less work, and perhaps more time to follow the rabbit trails. I look forward to that, but first I must earn my way in-by surviving the next two weeks.
