Law school is easier when you study with the right tools
Enjuris reviewed the best YouTube channels for law students so you can skip the noise and focus on quality resources. These channels cover study skills, legal news, and life in practice to help you succeed in class and beyond.
Once upon a time in a law school not so far away, your “study aids” were whatever the library let you photocopy before the reserve desk caught you.
Today, you’ve got podcasts, explainers, movies, books, television shows, even full crash courses—all on demand.
The problem?
There’s a lot of junk between you and the good stuff.
That’s where Enjuris comes in. Our team of attorneys actually reviewed these top YouTube channels for law students (and many of us subscribe to them), so you can skip the junk and go straight to the good stuff.
Why YouTube belongs in your law-school toolkit
YouTube isn’t just a place for funny cat videos. Used wisely, it can round out your entire legal education. The best approach is to subscribe to a mix of channels that serve different purposes:
- Doctrinal explainers and exam skills: These are the fast, visual refreshers that help black-letter rules stick. They clarify dense material, reinforce your class readings, and model how to organize your answers in IRAC style—skills you’ll need for both finals and the bar exam.
- Legal news and court coverage: Law school often feels abstract, but staying current with real-world developments grounds your learning in reality. Following news and trial coverage gives you context for class discussions, shows you how courts apply doctrine, and keeps you attuned to the issues that matter in practice.
- Life in practice: Channels that feature trial tactics, client communication, and career advice offer a candid look at what lawyers actually do day to day. They help bridge the gap between studying law and becoming a practicing attorney.
The 10 channels we’d actually subscribe to
1. LegalEagle — @legaleagle
LegalEagle is one of the most popular legal channels on YouTube, and for good reason. The channel combines sharp editing with accessible explanations of complex legal issues, from famous case breakdowns to “think like a lawyer” tutorials.
Law students will find news, study tips, exam advice, and practical insights, delivered by seasoned trial attorney Devin Stone. It’s an excellent resource for anyone looking to keep up to date and sharpen their skills.
2. Quimbee — @QuimbeeDotCom
Quimbee is a well-established name in legal education, and its YouTube channel extends that reputation. The videos include case briefs, doctrinal walkthroughs, and skills-based content tailored to both law students and bar exam takers.
3. Law&Crime Network — @LawAndCrime
The Law&Crime Network provides live coverage of high-profile trials and legal news analysis. For law students, this is an opportunity to see courtroom dynamics, evidentiary rulings, and procedural moves play out in real time.
4. Emily D. Baker — @TheEmilyDBaker
Emily D. Baker, a former deputy district attorney, takes headline-making cases and explains them in accessible, plain language. Her long-form breakdowns and shorter case updates strike a balance between entertainment and education.
5. Mike Rafi — @MikeRafiLawyer
Mike Rafi’s channel delivers fast, entertaining videos about trial practice and personal injury litigation. His videos often highlight courtroom tactics, bizarre exchanges between attorneys, and practical insights from the trenches. While the tone is approachable and fun, the lessons are serious: law students can absorb how lawyers communicate, persuade, and operate under pressure.
6. Bloomberg Law — @BloombergLaw
Bloomberg Law keeps law students current with the latest in Supreme Court decisions, regulatory changes, legal industry news, and policy developments. Their videos often include interviews, panel discussions, and analysis from legal journalists.
7. American Bar Association — @AmericanBarAssn
The ABA’s YouTube channel publishes content on professional development, ethics, mentoring, women in the law, and broader issues affecting the legal profession. For law students, videos like “What I Wish I Knew When I Started Law School” offer perspective, guidance, and tips that often fall outside doctrinal teaching.
8. Angela Vorpahl — @AngelaVorpahl
Angela Vorpahl is a “1L coach.” Her channel focuses on study skills, exam preparation, navigating big firm vs smaller firm choices, and maintaining balance and productivity. Videos like “Guide to a Successful 1L Year” give you strategies you can implement immediately.
9. Lawyer Lee — @LawyerLee
Lawyer Lee is a Harvard law school graduate. She brings decades of trial experience to break down legal cases, courtroom procedures, and what happens behind the scenes in litigation. Her channel uses plain English to make lawsuits understandable. She also gives day-in-the-life insights, case reactions, and commentary on trials in the news. Great for students who want to see what being a practicing trial attorney actually looks like.
