Correct grasshopper. (Are you already studying Civ Pro?)

Yep. Along with Torts, Property, ethics, and Research and Writing, that rounds out my first semester curricula.

You really should have taken Crim law in first semester. Crim law is where you really learn how to think like a lawyer and analyze laws and facts. Torts is ok, but there are too many nuances in tort law that really have no basis in reality.

Crim law is more concrete and clear and has 1000 years of history behind it. That is why most law schools include it in the first year curriculum. Civ pro is something you should only learn after you have taken torts and contracts and property. It is like learning algebra before you learn to add and subtract.
