r/UVALaw

Title. What are some things I can do to get ahead this summer? I’m not talking about decking my peers; I mean how I can personally, mentally, academically, careerally, survive… looking at the 1L schedule, it looks like I won’t have time to even breathe so any advice is appreciated!

PS: I’m already hitting the cages 2x a day and joined my local adult softball league (/s). My section WILL win the 1L tourney (not /s). Thank you.

I don’t have a Reddit but made one just to comment on this. Today, the night before our last exams of the year, Canvas is out. UVA Law students are responding by supporting one another and sharing any materials that would have otherwise been accessible on Canvas that they downloaded prior to the outrage. This does not help the students sharing, they could easily turn a blind eye to the struggles of their peers in the 11th hour, but instead I’m seeing an outpouring of support. This is collegiality, and I’m proud of my peers today.

Admitted student trying to decide, I know people ask questions like this a lot but I am having a hard time imagining myself living in Charlottesville after going to school in LA. I like the town and it’s really cute but I see it getting small pretty quickly. Any current students coming from LA or another larger city have any insight?

Seeing lots of people upset about accommodations abuse during finals season on r/lawschool, is this also common at UVA?

I just realized I accidentally used AI on two of my exams. Is it worth saying something? Or should I just let it lie?

Could someone provide a sample section schedule for 1L fall? I hear that some sections do not have class on Friday's? If so, what time would their Thursday classes cease? Will be doing LDR so trying to map out visiting time in advance, thanks!

Went to uva undergrad and took exams in the testing center but not sure how it’ll work in the law school

Why have so many toilets failed this week at the Library?

What's the deal? Taking an exam Tues and want to know what I'm in for. Keep seeing random comments about them but can't figure out what happened

Hi everyone, first-time Reddit poster here. I'm a military veteran wrapping up my 2L year at UVA Law, and I wanted to make myself available to admitted students who are still weighing the school.

A quick note on scope: I'm not the right resource for admissions questions, waitlist situations, or application feedback, I just don't have useful insight there. But if you've already gotten in and are trying to decide whether UVA is the right fit, DM me and I'm happy to talk.

I'm involved with the Virginia Law Veterans, on a journal, and heading into corporate transactional work after graduation. If you have questions about veteran life at UVA, journal work or the BigLaw path from a non-traditional background, I'd be glad to connect.

UVA has been a genuinely welcoming place to land after the military and I'd be happy to share more about what that experience has looked like.

Hey! Recently committed student here with two quick questions. Is there a limited time uva student merch sale coming up? I've seen a few other schools have cooler merch during those sales and would love to know if yall do that before buying something from the bookstore.

Also--is there a trend of 3Ls moving out looking to get rid of furniture? Idk if there's an open email list or how that works at UVA, but I'd love to buy things from them vs. new if possible. Thanks so much!

edit: I'll be moving in at the beginning of August. I've gotten a few messages with earlier move out dates: I can add a furniture sale tab to the admitted students groupme if that would be of interest to anyone!
