Updated from a previous post ... My law school courses, in real people talk:

First year:  Survival of the Fittest ...

• Contracts = CYA ('nuff said)
• Property = Keep track of your stuff
• Torts = Clean up your messes
• Criminal = Keep your nose clean
• Civil Procedure = Know the game

Second year:  Power Trip ... 

• Constitutional Law = Calling the shots.
• Evidence = Can't touch this.
• Criminal Procedure = Catch me if you can.
• Professional Responsibility = Credibility matters
• Family Law = Kids rock

Third year:  Eyes on the Prize

• Statutory Interpretation = Say what you mean and mean what you say
• Maritime Law = Torts on the water
• Pre-Trial Litigation Drafting = You won't see me in court
• Judicial Writing = The good stuff is in the dissent
• Advanced Legal Research = Where's Waldo?
• Consumer Law = The customer is always right, but the company usually wins

So much learning in such a seemingly short time ... Excited to see what the future holds!
