Insider Tip: Holiday break = recharge time.

Challenge Yourself: Have you hit full-on Netflix-hibernation mode on the couch yet? Bonus points if it lasts a whole day.

Happy New Year, Insiders!

Just popping in to say: I’m really glad you’re here.

Another year in the books—complete with cold calls, curveballs, late nights, LinkedIn spirals, quiet doubts, small wins, and hopefully at least one moment where you thought, â€œI've got this law school thing.”

You did.

And that matters.

Even as an eternal optimist, I’m not big on dramatic “new year, new you” energy. I am big on momentum—noticing what worked in the fall, dropping what didn’t, and showing up this spring with a little more confidence because you’ve already proven you can do hard things.

In 2026, I promise to keep sharing the honest stuff—the things no one really explains about law school, legal careers, the practice, and figuring it out as you go (usually with caffeine!).

I’m also excited to introduce a new format of The Law School Operating System™. Until now, it’s been available as a recorded course ($199) or a live 1:1 option ($599). Starting in 2026, I’ll be adding a small-group version for $399—open to all law students at any school—meeting on the first Saturday of every month from 9am–1pm PST. 

More details on that soon!

Thank you again for being part of this space. I truly appreciate you.

Sending you my best, always,
Lisa Blasser


That's all for this week, thanks for being a part of my community!  


Crush law school in 2026! 

 

To the law students no one is clapping for (but should be).
Insider Tip: Celebrating grades and rankings matters—but so does celebrating the people navigating a law school system that was never designed around the realities they carry. Challenge Yourself: Given everything you’re balancing, recognize what it took just to make it this far. There is a version of success in law school that gets celebrated loudly. Top grades. Awards. Honors. Public recogn...
Are you actively reading your cases in law school?
Insider Tip: Your brain doesn’t store what it recognizes when you read—it stores what it retrieves when you ask it.  Challenge Yourself: After reading your next case, close everything and explain the key case components without looking. If you can’t explain them out loud, don’t move on yet—there’s more learning needed. Most law students think they’re “actively reading” when they’re really ju...
The most efficient way to outline.
Insider Tip: Most law students outline inefficiently because they keep the same information they read about each topic in ten different places. Challenge Yourself: Instead of creating different documents to house the information you're learning, try this: create one outline for every main topic that includes your case briefs, lecture notes, reading notes, and any other information you learn ab...
