Read a random definition: concurring opinion

A quick definition of eire:

Eire (pronounced air) is an old word that means journey or route. In history, it was also used to describe a system of royal courts that were sent out to investigate wrongdoing, try cases, and collect fines for the king. These courts were called eyres (also pronounced air) and were abolished in the 14th century. They were a way for the king to supervise local government by sending out itinerant central government officials to visit different counties.

A more thorough explanation:

Eire: A journey, route, or circuit. In history, it referred to a system of royal courts sent out by the Crown to investigate allegations of wrongdoing, try cases, and raise revenue for the Crown through fines. The eyre system was abolished in the 14th century.

She went on a long eire through the mountains.
The king sent out an eyre to investigate the allegations of corruption in the county.

The first example illustrates the original meaning of eire as a journey or route. The second example shows how eyre was used historically as a system of royal courts sent out to investigate and try cases in different counties.

yeah my university’s the same way, so frustrating! still a great GPA and with a killer LSAT score you’ll be good to go :)

if you have the means, I’ve heard private tutoring is the way to go

Fingers crossed! I mean I'd be so so glad to go to law school period, but I am a bit of an overachiever. Dream is Berkeley rn, but I'm of course happy to go anywhere that lines up with my plans. And is kind enough with scholarships lol

I'll have to see if my parents are willing to support that. I'm living on my own but ik if it'd help me they'd be willing to help

@JumpySubsequentDolphin: I would push back on this. I think for the vast majority of people LSAT tutoring is unnecessary.

@madollyy: I focus on bringing your GPA up as much as possible in the last semester because once you graduate you cannot change that. So don't study for the LSAT next semester if you think that would impair your ability to get straight A's. As for LSAT studying, I would recommend LSAT Demon (ik controversial), the Loophole, and Reading Comp Hero.

@texaslawhopefully: oh I’m not sure hahaha im just basing off of my friend who got a tutor bc she was rly struggling and it seemed like it helped her!

Yeah, that's fair! For some people it can help a lot. I'm just saying in general I don't think it is necessary unless you are trying to finetune a very specific area (or get to the high 170s because that is another thing in and of itself) OR are just terrible at the test. I tutor the test and I find that most people can improve just as much through self-study.

JumpySubsequentDolphin

21:13

that makes sense for sure

JumpySubsequentDolphin

21:13

i think for her it was a lack of discipline more than anything else tbh. she could not get herself to meaningfully study on her own

madollyy

22:05

I've finished all my major requirements, so I'm taking pretty much all electives next semester. Keeping one major specific class bc I'm majoring in it for a reason haha. But I'll be pretty free to study and try and improve my GPA. I will try self study first, see where that gets me. If that doesn't work I'll look into tutoring!

most of the stuff a tutor will teach you is stuff you can figure out yourself if you’re sufficiently motivated. if you would benefit from some support and structure tutoring can be helpful

babycat
