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! 

 

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...
Watch Your Fall Semester Reel
Insider Tip: Last semester is a reel you can replay to understand your study habits. Challenge Yourself: If you’re willing to look at them honestly without shaming yourself, what worked—and what didn’t? If I missed a goal in the past, I sometimes avoided replaying my reel of why I missed it because it felt like a form of punishment. Almost a self-sabotaging event where I replayed everything I...
Are You Outlining Against Your Brain?
Insider Tip: The way you think shapes the way you outline. Challenge Yourself: Take the quiz below to identify whether you’re a big-picture or detail-oriented thinker, and use that self-awareness to outline more efficiently. Have you ever tried outlining a certain way just because other students were doing it? That’s totally normal—everyone does that at some point, trying to figure it out. Bu...
