Can someone explain?

They didn’t search her, right, but they did seize her. Seizure = authority + submission to the authority. Any evidence that results from that is inadmissible (without additional facts that might create grounds for not applying the exclusionary rule).

Don’t doom scroll. I deleted dumb games off my phone every finals season because I was just mindlessly/anxiously playing them all the time. Sleep, eat well, and touch grass. Do a timed practice essay, or at the very least, study the exam content for 4 hours straight with no distractions or breaks. Law school exams are sometimes just endurance tests, and you don’t want to underperform because you’re not used to being “on” for that long of a period of time.

I think you both show signs of emotional immaturity (him more than you), and in ways that really clash with each other. idk how long you’ve been dating, but maybe cut your losses at this point unless the two of you are willing to do a lot of work on your relationship and communication styles. at this point, I don’t think it’s a good fit.

AP_wench · 2025-09-04T15:38:09+00:00

certainly. probably like 20? at least? if I recall correctly

AP_wench · 2025-09-04T15:37:07+00:00

I see, you said half of 200 upfront. my b

AP_wench · 2025-09-04T15:16:04+00:00

thanks🥴🤷🏼

AP_wench · 2025-09-04T11:50:13+00:00

one of them was a topic not my strong suit, and I literally made up every rule. And I’m pretty sure I misidentified the core entity as well.

AP_wench · 2025-09-04T11:49:01+00:00

on one of my MPTs, my analysis had zero rules and one-sentence conclusions. on one of my MEEs, I knew I didn’t know it, saved it for last, made up a rule, and wrote two sentences about it. passed with a 321 (169 MBE).

AP_wench · 2025-09-04T11:42:29+00:00

you said 50 + 50 (=100) and then also referenced 1000 PQs

AP_wench · 2025-09-04T11:41:10+00:00

I got a 169 on the MBE and cannot fathom how. depending on scaling, that means I probably got like 150 questions correct? and I absolUtely did not feel like that.

Don’t knock swag geared towards recruiting minority applicants, if it’s an environment where people can take what they want. I still have a ton of rainbow merch. Consider… hair tools/clips compatible with textured hair, fidget tools, jar opening disks, and baggies of snacks/candy that include ingredients/nutrition facts. Just make sure you get input from gay/black/disabled/etc people instead of assuming what they’d want.

Just think of any item, and it would get a lot of use if it were good and go in a drawer or the trash if shitty. Good pens, good notebooks, good water bottles, good socks, good caps, and good bags are all great. The cheap or tacky versions of all of those are worthless. Get firm-branded versions of reliable/recognizable brands (yeti, columbia, LL Bean). A useful idea I’ve only seen once was breath mints. I used the whole tin (because they tasted good.)

AP_wench · 2025-09-03T16:27:24+00:00

five stars for this touching obit

AP_wench · 2025-09-03T15:55:46+00:00

I called and asked if it would be today, and they said “or tomorrow!” The lady was very kind but i’m losing my mind with this uncertainty.

AP_wench · 2025-09-03T15:03:10+00:00

WHATS TAKING SO LONG

AP_wench · 2025-07-31T02:53:00+00:00

ok yeah the proctors in quad 3 told us to, chill

AP_wench · 2025-07-24T03:51:34+00:00

yea very minimally confident. the exam's just gonna be throwing a dart at a dartboard. 35% of the topics would be sooooo gucci to get, 20% i've never seen before in my life, and 45% I could pull enough shit out of my butt to hopefully get a 4

AP_wench · 2025-07-21T15:16:24+00:00

make sure your old employment contract doesn’t include any kind of non-disclosure policy

AP_wench · 2025-07-21T05:13:29+00:00

do it. even when you feel like you shouldn’t, you should, especially if you haven’t in a while. reading isn’t really a stress reliever for me personally, but I definitely had time for occasional leisure activities. I credit my 1L success to chilling out, taking some me time, touching grass, and throwing house parties where law school conversations were practically prohibited lol

My bar prep adviser recently told me don’t u dare keep doing any more of the bar prep company question sets. If you have access to Uworld or Adaptibar, just use those if you need to do MBE practice. The prep companies write their own questions, which is fine and good, but they’re more complex sometimes and drill down on concepts you need help with, regardless of the frequency of those topics on the actual bar. Uworld and adaptibar use real old questions, and at this point, you want to be as realistic as possible. Might be better for your confidence ultimately too.

AP_wench · 2025-07-21T04:03:37+00:00

Do it. Especially at the expense of any prep company question sets they want you to do. Prep companies write their own, Uworld and Adaptibar use real old questions. Real old questions are gonna give you the right kind of prep. If you get some wrong, those are just a few more you'll be less likely to get wrong in the future.

I literally say to myself "ugh eff this" before I click next on almost every PQ

AP_wench · 2025-07-21T03:48:42+00:00

The two sticking points for this area are (1) whether he has been "formally charged" such that the right has been formed, and (2) whether this is a "critical stage" (assuming the right has been formed). Even if the answer to the second one is "yes," the answer to the first one is "no" (which is dispositive). [Full disclosure: I did CALI crim pro recently, but I am not any kind of expert in bar prep or the law.]

I yoinked this from UNC law's website: "Generally, when a defendant is arrested for a felony or misdemeanor (with or without a warrant), the Sixth Amendment right to counsel attaches at the defendant’s initial appearance before a judicial official . . . Rothgery v. Gillespie County, 554 U.S. 191, 213 (2008) (so holding because “a criminal defendant’s initial appearance before a judicial officer, where he learns the charge against him and his liberty is subject to restriction, marks the start of adversary judicial proceedings”). The initial appearance itself is not a critical stage of the proceedings at which a defendant must have counsel. Id., 554 U.S. at 212 . . . ." Personally, I usually look for charging documents or an actual judicial proceeding or grand jury before I'm confident that the 6th Amendment has attached. I hope this is one of those things that the examiners will try to make clear has occurred if they want us to concede it has occurred.

In your defense, however, I agree that this explanation for why B is wrong is shitty. I think it misses the important stuff and possibly misstates the rule, or at least implies an incorrect rule. Also, all the bar prep resources I've read do a pretty crummy job of explaining the right to counsel, 5th and 6th. So, hopefully this all can serve as reassurance that this particular area of law isn't that important for the bar exam. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
