law school is pretty easy all in all
All three of your posts were submitted over the last 26 minutes and each of them are questionable.
But assuming you aren’t a troll. Law school is all reading and writing. That’s it. Get used to it. /thread.

It’s not that the material is difficult. It’s that so much is on the line. You’re spending tens of thousands of dollars, if not hundreds of thousands, for only one year that really matters. Everyone is on the same curve and everyone wants to be at the top. Depending on the school, some/many/most will fail. Your job depends on that first year. (I don’t mean this to sound overly dramatic.)
The material is not conceptually difficult. It is a lot of work though, much more than most students have ever come close to doing. And it is ONLY reading and writing. You know that even when an attorney has a trial, that is preceded by MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS of reading and writing, right? You don’t just stand up there and talk out of your ass.
The most difficult assignment I’ve had is reading a 12 page exam hypothetical and then typing 7,500 words in four hours for an exam that determines my entire grade for the semester and which is curved against the 100 other people in my class, all of whom are as smart and hard working as I am. And that’s what every assignment is. There aren’t assignments in law school, there is just your final exam or paper, that’s it. Every class is graded by either a single 3-8 hour exam or a single research paper.

Just don’t go to law school.
This…
LOL, that face after reading this.
Assuming you’re not joking, you should not go to law school.
This. Law school doesn’t sound like a good fit.
You sound like somebody who will always get it wrong but argue in front of class, which is a delicious 1-2 punch.
How’s this for action? Your whole future can be based on one three hour test. If you make great points, you can get a job paying 160k with yearly bonuses. If you shit the bed then homelessness becomes a non-0% outcome.
If you aren’t good at reading or writing then you likely would do very poorly. You get better at reading as you go. Professors do go out of their way to accommodate bad English for the most part, and untangle what you’re saying. For example, I am very creative but terrible at English. I have not found I have been penalized for having an 8-year old’s spelling ability, but I’m sure it does not help.
Most lawyers spend about 70-90% of their time reading and writing dry, technical material. If this does not sound appealing, consider another line of work.
If you’re a “doer,” you probably want to consider another profession. It’s good that you’re figuring this out now and not after you’ve enrolled.
Law school is basically the opposite of what you think/hope it is. There is very little “doing,” by your definition. Even if you participate in a clinic and get to do actual, real-world legal work as a student, it’s still like 95% reading and writing.
Look, I got an engineering degree with honors doing very little studying. That simply doesn’t work in law school.
