As someone who has compulsively used messenger bags, I have to say that the standard backpack is pretty much definitively better in the long-term for your back. After about 8 years of wearing larger/more heavy duty messenger bags on the same shoulder, the cumulative weight of the bags exerted upon my shoulder eventually pushed part of my spinal column out of place and gave me scoliosis. Fortunately, it was relatively mild, so there was no permanent damage, but it still gave me fairly significant back pain for a few weeks (since the spinal column was compressing on the surrounding muscle), and I had to undergo physiotherapy to force the spinal column back into position. Nowadays, I take much more care to always use the strap diagonally to help distribute the weight of the bag across the body, as well as trying to keep the weight to a minimum, as carrying bags exceeding 10kg's starts to give me pain within a week. That being said, I still use messenger bags, as I still prefer their look and feel; it's just nice just being able to swing a shoulder forward and access the contents of the bag. However, I am a lot more careful with my usage of them nowadays, and I would recommend that any prospective law students do the same, lest you do any permanent damage to yourself.

I am not even in what you know as law school but study German Tax Law as advanced training for my job, but this topic applies to us as well, since our law books are insanely heavy! I have been using what we call a "pilot suit case", that you can also roll on wheels, which was designed for business environments, pretty simular to your document bags. But even though it's high quality, the handles start falling apart from too much use and I hate using them on wet/dirty grounds and when I have to walk a lot of stairs.

This is really interesting. Where I come from (the Czech Republic), the huge and heavy books that you claim law students in the U.S. have to carry around during the day cannot be taken out from the library and, therefore, can only be read in study halls. And if students have copies of the most important books, like the criminal code with case law, or "introduction to Roman Law", they are much smaller and often paperback.

In Spain there is a famous judge who accepted a case of big corruption, involving politicians and so on. I remember how she used to bring a regular backpack to court the first days. After a month she switched to a big rolling bag. I always imagine that it was a sign of the complexity and seriousness of that case.

A suggestion for your series. Something about dual-degree programs. I've seen many law schools where one can get both a J.D. and a degree in another graduate/professional field. J.D./M.B.A. or M.P.A is common, as is J.D./M.L.S. I've also seen J.D./D.Psy., J.D./M.S.W., and even J.D. /M.Div. You might want to discuss these joint-programs---should you do one? What is the best combination? What sort of careers can particular combinations do for you?
@jess_bounce
5 жыл бұрын
This is a good idea. JD/MBA is a really common combination offered at many law schools. However, I will say the people in my law class pursuing the dual degree program are ranked in the bottom half of the class. Grades are important in the post-law school job search, so it depends on what a person values. If he/she simply wants to work as an attorney, focusing on just the JD might be best. However, for those able to successfully (read: get good grades) juggle earning both degrees, it can make them prime candidates for high-level corporate general counsel positions, help them move up to partner faster, or make them more flexible in their careers if they decide they don’t like practicing law. But I agree, I would like to see a video on it. I only know information based on what I’ve seen in my own class/heard from a few working attorneys.

I am not a law student, however I am a history student, thus I carry at least as much books as any law student does. I can highly recommend Fjällräven, they are a Swedish brand that makes some of the best backpacks out there, and they last forever. For example I have one that is 40 years old which I got from my dad, that backpack is older than every single building on campus and just seem to refuse to fall apart. However since it doesn't have a computer pocket, I have a new Fjällräven nowadays. They are not snobby or anything like that, so if that is what you want look somewhere else. But if you just want a really good backpack that will last you...well, if you are a student in your 20s, until you are at least 50, Fjällräven is the way to go!

If you're small, or find the weight of the books difficult to manage, a rollie bag, or a waist band properly fitted will make the weight manageable. Consider getting an internal frame hiker backpack. They have them that are about the same size as the backpacks discussed here (these are actually day-bags, but try telling this to an 8th grader). If like the OGI backpack there isn't a waist band, you can buy one separately at REI and velcro attach it. Need it sewn? A custom leather worker can do this easily. The critical part of the belt is that it fits correctly on top of your hip bones, but to securely do this it has fit at your back. If you cinch it down tighter and tighter and it's still slipping? It's at the back. REI again is full of nice people who know how it should fit. Get some different color stuff sacks. Red is dongles and chargers, Green is snacks and meds, Baggies are okay, so long as there's only one of them. Get a bag with a light color on the inside, otherwise you will lose a lot of time not being able to find things. Already have a black interior? Get a can of white Krylon for plastic and spray the inside. It won't make it white, but it will lighten it up enough to make the bag work for you. If you have something black, like my SS coffee lid? Tie a bright ribbon to it. Rollies? The wheels always add about 5 pounds. If you're still not sure what to get. Get the $25-$30 backpack at Costco. Then start law school and look around, check out the bags of other people, maybe you want a $150 backpack. Maybe you keep the Costco bag, they hold up as well as any bag, including very expensive hiker kit. I once spent a lot of time and money getting a top backpack, it wasn't any better than the Costco, it did have more zippers, but they just made it harder to find things. Long distance hikers now mostly carry Z-Packs, and Hyperlite. These are essentially one big bag, two water bottle pockets on the outside, and a mesh pocket on the back. They carry their whole life for months. Lots of pockets and zippers are not your friend. One pocket for pens, highlighters and stuff, everything else in stuff sacks (I like the water proof ones that have the fold-tops, instead of the sweatpants gathered ones, you can see inside better.) ALL liquids outside in pockets. You may be the neatest most organized person on the planet, but if you have any water bottle or coffee mug that has anything but a screw top, it is going to leak. Not today, not tomorrow, maybe not next year. The week before the bar exam? It will leak. The highest rated ones that get the five stars? They're great until they destroy your laptop. The rollie document bag? I've seen a lot of these in downtown L.A. outside the court buildings. Not a few of them have stacks of expandable folders precariously bungee corded on top, they get stuck in the cracks. Instead get a folding hand truck--larger wheels. You can add a box or milk crate with the big stuff, and put your backpack on top. Bigger wheels are better everywhere. Link follows. You can pile up a couple of office boxes on them. Another tip is use good parachute line to tie the boxes. Bungee, aka shock cord is too long or too short, but one short one can tighten up the string. (Tie a 'handle' just above the bottom and some nice person can now help you carry it up the stairs) www.amazon.com/Seville-Classics-Folding-Truck-Capacity/dp/B004JOAP9O/ref=sr_1_6?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1533669680&sr=1-6&keywords=folding+hand+cart

For really durable bags, 5.11 has a lot of good options if you want a bag that's just a complete tank. They're generally pretty spacious and have a lot of pockets, especially the backpacks, and they're built to last. I personally use one of their messenger bags, but they also have more standard backpacks, and chest-strap backpacks (one strap across the chest). They're also very easy to waterproof, if you want to really protect your stuff.

Quick question - Do they no longer have waist straps on high-end college backpacks? You mentioned a chest strap and that is a good idea (save your shoulders and back!) but I remember in college I had a traditional backpack with a waist strap. It wasn't the most fashion forward thing to wear, but it transferred weight to your hips and waist instead of your shoulders - which really helped. (And yes, for short trips you could just have the bag on your shoulders.) Great vids by the way!

You forgot to mention the most important thing. Carrying heavily loaded backpacks or messenger backs puts strain on your back, hips and above all your knees in the long run. Looking fashionable is ruining your body if you have to carry heavy stuff around for an extended period of time. Document bags on wheels don't do that and there are really nice ones out there. Also, as you said yourself, one might use it after law school as well, which helps save money. And US law schools get you heavily in dept, which mentioned before too. So why not safe some money and be kind to your skeleton and joints at the same time?

I guess it depends. I still have a leather pack made from WW2. Straps will never break! Old school is still the best school and they just don't make em' like they use to.

Why the heck haven't these case books been digitized for easy access? It's all fine and good for originals in a library but that seems so... Excessive.

It’s crazy. I started w a cheap Walmart book bag and my 1L casebooks absolutely destroyed it. Upgraded near the end of 1L and that giant hardcore book bag will see me through the end of law school.

Leather bags are just too heavy! I have a leather purse that I ADORE, but even I must admit that it can be quite heavy. And when you're carrying heavy things, you don't want a bag that's heavy too!

I think it looks odd when wearing a (three piece) suit and using a rucksack, a bit childish in my opinion.

But wearing a three-piece suit everyday looks pretentious. However, I agree that a rucksack looks childish, even with a regular suit

Parnia Vaghef sometimes we do. Well I personally don’t wear 3-piece suits. But we have to wear our work clothes to school when we have court/externships right before or after classes. Which is really common 3L year. And we all look really dumb in dress clothes plus book bags but we have to do it 😂

can't people move to a paperless option for casebooks? seems cruel to force students to carry around such a burden especially when hardly used

I mean, casebooks are publicly available so they should be able to find them online. (iPad pro + pencil all the way)

Nope. You can look up individual cases on Westlaw, but to my knowledge there are no ebook versions of casebooks.

LegalEagle wouldn't it be more efficient to just look up the cases we need rather then buy and carrying around casebooks?
@LegalEagle
6 жыл бұрын
You can do that, but you'd need to get the case citations from someone else's case book. In the grand scheme of things, given the high cost of law school, it's probably worth it just to buy a used casebook and resell it. But it can be done.

Or ... couldn't you just go to the library, take a photo of the table of contents of the assigned Casebook, and then look up the cases as your professor assigns the corresponding pages? Do the law libraries not have the books that your professor uses in reserve, for use in the library, like in undergrad?

If you want a cute and durable leather purse or tote for law school go to Joy Susan. Their products are fake vegan leather, look and feel like real leather and yet are strong as shit. I don't work for them, I'm just a fan
