Are there any ‘tricks’ to easing the Grad work-load?
Definitely – look to enroll in the law schools intensive subjects. Usually five various subjects are offered and can be completed intensively in one week for each topic – some are even pass/fail subjects. You might also look to any exemptions you can get for your previous studies. Also, start networking early and meet as many other Grads who are studying the same program as you, and form a study group to ease the load.
