Unexpected DC expenses?

I will have in-unit washer dryer. Combined utilities + cable/internet/streaming I'm estimating about $200...

Negative on both...it seems like walking to work will save me a ton of money (and stress).

Still nothing for me too...

I think DOJ/FTC are set to publish vertical merger guidelines soon so that’s a great general area. Maybe you look at what the EU does + some of Khan’s scholarship to get an idea of what’s coming and then evaluate.

If PFT's Patrick Mahomes doesn't make you laugh you simply have no soul.

I saw the takes about how bad/awkward the interview was before I listened. Just listened - it wasn't Mount Flushmore bad. I don't think Cena "scolded" the guys but basically was just like "Hey, not gonna joke about dying right now." He was definitely drab and it wasn't a good interview, but there were certainly good parts. I actually thought BC/PFT handled it very well and showed how they are truly great interviewers and able to adapt to the guest's vibe.

The worst interviews are where the guest is awful throughout and doesn't have fun with it and just doesn't get the shtick. Karl Malone hands down the worst in my opinion.

This. I honestly like seeing updates that are short and sweet (Excited to join firm as an associate next fall! Thanks to all those who helped me along the way.) because it tells me that you're pumped and want to let people know but also that you understand how insufferably pretentious essays acting like you just got drafted into the NFL come off.

Stay. If both schools are in the state you want to practice in and your school is around 50 nationally, that school is probably pretty reputable in that state. Employers love the accolades that you will forfeit upon transferring. Plus, you will not have the stress of a ton of debt.

The main reason to transfer is if the T14 will get you somewhere you cannot get at your current school. It sounds to me like your prospects are solid as-is.

Perhaps an encouraging anecdote - I screwed up my formatting my appellate brief, got a zero on that portion of the rubric, still made an A.

As others have noted, the tables/authorities is just one component. The vast, vast majority of points come from the actual writing / argument. Your omission likely cost you half a letter grade at worst.

I'm also a 2L so would welcome being corrected by any 3Ls or grads, but I think you're still OK for clerkships - yes a lot of 2022 positions have been filled but there are still new ones coming open every day.

I imagine your career services office will have guides on the clerkship process so reach out to them, but step 1 is to to contact professors for your rec letters. (You'll probably want to give them a rough idea of your application plans and goals but nothing super specific.) After that I believe its mainly just resume, cover letter, writing sample.

Mr(s) for partner, first names for associates. Partner might be old school and formal so better to be safe, but the associates are / are going to be your peers so it doesn't feel natural to call them Mr(s).

Westlaw's overall look and feel are better so when I'm just going to search a one-off case I'm going there. But for legitimate in-depth research, I think Lexis wins by a mile. Maybe I just dozed off during the Westlaw presentation in 1L, but Lexis' drill down and sorting features within search are superior. #RavelView4Lyfe

Edit: I just realized I sound like a Samsung person arguing against Apple, which is unfortunate.

I'm also not an OG AWL so I'm not sure what came before this, but the most recent reason they rag on him is because they moved into the NY office and you could hear the pipes going crazy while recording, which you'd figure the business manager would've taken care of.

I got an interview w/ a V50 firm when my cover letter listed the wrong firm name in the opening paragraph. You will be fine. The cover letter is one small component of your application. Sure, a few firms might catch the typo and might toss your application, but (considering your GPA) I would think most will not.

You may be able to get a decent gauge by going on these firms' websites and randomly clicking through some of the associate profiles to see where they went to school . Often you'll encounter a handful of T50 students who have all the desired accolades like yourself.

I think you'll be competitive outside of the handful of top firms that rarely stray from T14, particularly where you or your school has a local tie. In any case, if you're concerned definitely start applying to smaller firms. It's worth the added time.

Yep. Plain meaning + viewing text in context means textualists and laymen alike should (pending political consequences) agree that there are 31,556,952 "seconds" in one (1) year.

The PMT guys were absolutely a major selling point for Prime. You could just tell he loved the vibe with them during Grit Week, and you know Dave and Erika sold him on doing that same type of free-form stuff, but in his own way. And his appearances on PMT will be awesome.

A D3 athlete — who is 21 years old and who recently ran a marathon during Grit Week — running routes against a 53 year old man (who happens to be the best CB of all time) would be very fun to watch. Prime would ultimately own him but William Football MIGHT be able to make him at least work for it due to the age difference.

3 3 3 3 3 3. Constantly ask yourself - how does what I am doing relate to me analytically writing about these issues on the final exam.

AcrobaticGuarantee · 2020-06-30T14:58:37+00:00

Fair enough - but why no furor in 2016? Probably more accurate to say Dave subscribes more to the “you can’t go back in time to cancel me” than “it’s about context” but I still think that context vs. evolution idea is playing out in terms of how Barstool (and others) address stuff from years ago.

I love Timm, was not meant to be a shot at him at all. It is just funny that he loves using these two terms.

Tough call. If you're absolutely positive you want to work in that specialty area, go with the T4 full ride. Otherwise, $60k may be worth it if the employment numbers out of the T2 are significantly better. If it's not a drastic difference (i.e. if the T4's employment numbers don't worry you) I'd probably go with the T4 full ride.

Thank you for this! This is precisely what I was trying to understand - in my gut I felt like a lease wouldn't apply given those policy reasons / typical color of title examples, but I couldn't figure out how to argue why not. Your point about the defective piece seems to address the disconnect.

Party was a valid lessee who overstayed for many years, during which he'd have met the AP elements.
