# Orientation

Welcome everyone!

I am Professor Karurosu. I teach pretty much all of the courses here we have to offer, but I specialize in civil pro, contracts and trial prep.

I would like to thank you all for using some of your time to come to our orientation as this is the first step in your goals to become a lawyer.

Now, some of you may have previously had certifications from Mayflower and other states and gone through the proper teachings, but I must warn you that our law school is much different.

Law students are taught how to issue spot, exemplify fact patterns, and apply information to cases. You will basically be going through what a real law student does but fortunately for you all, in a more simpler and quicker way.

We have revamped the system that Mayflower's Institute of Law used to work for the student. You will be able to extra credit courses to deepen your knowledge of the legal system and sharpen up your argumentation skills. Law students will be able to control the amount of work they take in accordance with mandatory classes, which will help them in their journey here at our law school.

I always suggest taking these extra courses since they have legitimate valuable information and practice that you can hone down and use in your future practice. It should also be obvious that employers will be looking for those who commit to our extra courses since they provide professors and classes that specialize in their certain fields.

We are also bringing back the mock trial which has been in Mayflower's graveyard for over a year now. That being said, we are also introducing oral argument panels for students to utilize. There will be information given after orientation about qualifying for these events but I can assure you that they are worth the time and effort.

All of our classes incorporate real legal procedures and litigation used in the United States which should give you a jump on being able to read some basic and intermediate cases. We have always seen students commit to classes not just for the sake of practicing in Barklen, but to spark their interest in becoming real law students and working for that goal in their lives.

That is one of the best things we have to offer here in this law school. I absolutely adore seeing more students come to our community, especially when they come and tell me that they want to become real lawyers. I can admit, I was one of those kinds of students back in Mayflower and I still am to this day.

Now, it is time for the hard part of this orientation, how your exams and classes will work.

Every course, your professor will probably give you some rules or case to read before the class. It is recommended you note down important information and questions to ask to your professor.

During your class, you will be able to ask these questions and more if they ever arise during the session.

After your class, your professor will give you the exam for that course and you will be able to fill it out.

If you fail, err.. Let's say you take the boot. These exams are structured to make you think, compare, and apply. The information and material we are giving are rules, cases, and specific details. It is up to you to pin point the fact patterns and to find the correct answer.

That being said, we will always try to trick you during your examinations. We may ask you a question about who should win a civil litigation process when it has been frivilous and void the entire time. It is those S+ students that are able to find the hidden details and slam dunk these questions with confidence.

Your overall grade is dependent on the Final Examination which is the test to license you. None of your extra courses will boost your grade up, we did this so students could focus on the main material first before aiming for their extra courses. That being said, there will be an exam for your extra course whether that be in the form of a written one or an oral argument.

Professors here are always here for you, yes, despite our evil exams. We are here to push you forward and expand your mind. If you ever have a question, ask it as soon as possible and when appropriate. We will do our best to help you along the road and give adaquate advice and motivation throughout your time here.

I hope you can enjoy your time, make good friends, and slam dunk your exams. Thank you!
