 | Page 1: How to use this worksheet
1)  What are your goals?  What you want out of law school should determine your classes and experiences.
2)  On page 2, write down       your professional (post-law school) goals ( Be as general or as specific as you desire);        the state(s) where you've considered practicing law; and       the subjects tested on your chosen state's bar exam (see www.law.uidaho.edu/baradmission).
3)  Check the "Choosing a Course of Study" section of the Law Student Handbook for       (a) requirements for the J.D.      (b) course descriptions and prerequisites       (c) courses satisfying the professional skills requirement      (d) courses potentially satisfying the upper division writing requirement       (e) emphasis and joint/concurrent degree programs.
4)  On page 3, list all the fall, spring, and summer courses you would like to take, as well as courses you believe you should take .        Don't worry about whether you can or will take all of them.  Take into consideration a variety of things, such as the professor's       teaching style, your enjoyment of the subject, the practicality of the subject, what skills you can develop, and whether the subject       is tested on the bar exam.
5)  For each course listed, write down the number of credits, whether it covers a bar subject, and the skills it will help you develop.
6)  On page 4, note your interest in special opportunities, practice opportunities, and concurrent/joint degree problems.  Look up       prerequisites and requirements for these courses in the Law Student Handbook. Add any needed classes to your list on page 3.
7)  On page 5, write down            possible mentors you have identified;            personal (e.g., religious, charitable) and law-related activities in which you'd like to participate during law school; and            the practice experiences (e.g., client contact, dispute resolution) you would like to have during law school.       Identify the skills you hope to acquire from your activities and whether you can potentially get pro bono credit for the activities.
8)  Seek advice from others, including professors, lawyers, and the directors of Academic Support and Career Development.
9)  Fill out the Graduation Checklist on page 6.
10)  Based on all of the above, write down your preliminary plan for courses and activities on page 7.  In addition, write down how you         intend to prepare for bar subjects where you didn't take the corresponding UI course.
11)  Throughout law school, and in consultation with your mentors, refine your plan as your circumstances and goals change.
