If you actually want to become a good lawyer- you have to put in the work, go back and learn the things you were supposed to, follow course outlines of courses where you cheated. you will have to teach yourself now that youve left law school. cant download info to your brain- itll take some hard work and pain.
I think if you want to form original thoughts, reading more helps. Reading widely as well.
Think of things you find interesting, just generally, even outside of law. Maybe sports lets say.
As a side, read about legal aspect of sport (basically sports law). Why is sports important, what’s the hostory? How does it work now? How different sport that you watch are structured.
Take a moot proposition from sports law moot and from it.
This will not be directly useful from the perspective of what you may be doing right now. However, this whole exercise will teach you a lot about research, and will definitely make you more curious about different aspects of law, which may seep into the practice you do right now.
Other than that, think about how you can improve drafting rn. What can make it better. Can you make it shorter and say the same thing? Can you write creatively within the limit of the pleadings?
Reading and curiosity is most important.
Pls suggest how to stop this brain rot.
