Advice for 2-L students

Jim Lindgren and David Bernstein have posted, over at the Volokh Conspiracy, some advice for second-year law students.  I would add to their suggestions at least one of my own:  If your school has (as mine does) upper-level required courses (e.g., Tax, Business Associations, etc.), try to resist the pull of the common view that students should "get the requirements out of the way" as soon as possible.  The first year of law school is often a long line of big lecture classes, topped off with standard-issue three-hour exam / disgorgements.  It seems to me that second-year students should try to diversify their law-class experience, strike out in some new and even strange directions (go ahead -- take "Law and the Catholic Social Tradition"!), and so on.  Besides, you never know if that interesting biodiversity or election-law class -- the one you figure you'll take during your third year, after all the requirements are done -- will be offered or available.
