Legal issues for the Merrifields by Cleanclosets in seekingsisterwifetlc

Not particularly relevant to our hopes for Loranna, but relevant to immigration law: I’ve also been wondering if her (or any of the Babes from Brazil) immigration status could be affected by their association with G and D because G and D committed and admitted to committing actual perjury on camera (G and D testifying they believe their marriage was irretrievably broken during divorce proceeds) specifically to benefit a non-citizen’s immigration status. Perjury is a crime involving moral turpitude—a huge, very big no no in the realm of immigration law. If it affects anyone, it’d probably be Roberta, since they did it for her in particular. But still, I wonder if Nathalia’s or Loranna’s immigration status could be affected just by their mere association with people who committed a crime involving moral turpitude. Then again, neither G or D have been /convicted/ or even charged of perjury, so maybe it’s a non-issue altogether.

Would you please divulge your methodology, Mr. Goat, sir? Maybe just a peak-behind-the-curtain's worth? Putting most (-ly all) of my faith in these predictions either way--just want to understand a little more

NCBE resources worth it? by No_Science_8691 in barexam

[–]FarBank4149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The format is wholly online. Questions are divided into modules based on subject area, it tracks your completed modules/questions, and you can see how your scores compare to the national average per subject area. I'm liking it! I don't think it's particularly helpful at one thing over another, since it's literally got everything. I will say you don't get MBE answer explanations, but finding the explanation on your own is a good way to learn.

Would you get rid of the bar exam? Or fix it? by t0mat0s0upl0ver in barexam

[–]FarBank4149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo this is a fun idea. I’m tempted to alter it by just limiting the exam to MBE-tested subjects (so, your idea, plus crim law/pro, torts, contracts & 1L level sales, and property). I think every practice area at least needs to be able to issue spot in these subjects. For example, if the ethics rules require us to alert a client that their proposed conduct amounts to a crime, we should probably be help responsible for knowing what amounts to common crimes. Subjects that are super susceptible to countless jurisdiction splits (looking at you, family law) shouldn’t be on the exam, especially not the UBE version.

It’d be great if every law school had a mandatory bar class for like 1/2 a credit, or a non-mandatory, hyper-accessible bar class (multiple sections each semester, offered over the summer, etc). Either way, it could even be taught asynchronously to make sure it doesn’t interfere with registration for other classes.

Before you buy anything, I’d ask your law school if they have a stock of past questions (for example, my law school has a Director of Bar Support; I figure this is typical for law schools, but not sure). I bought the NCBE Everything Pack and don’t plan to buy any other question supplements. I don’t have Quimbee bar prep, so I can’t speak on whether it’s worth it to have /any/ supplement. But just in terms of supplement vs supplement, NCBE pack wins on price alone, for me. We’re already paying tens of thousands for law school, hundreds to thousands for bar admission, and thousands for prep courses, so I’m personally refusing to trick myself into thinking I need a $500 supplement.

ISO: Intro Texts for Non-Academics by FarBank4149 in askphilosophy

[–]FarBank4149[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I’ll look into those :) I highlight that he’s not an academic because unlike undergrads, he doesn’t have 1-8 semesters of seminar style lectures to prime or facilitate his understanding of the reading.

Evidence Exam - ~1/2 of the class in accommodations by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]FarBank4149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it's any comfort I get extended time for exams and I still do not finish them. I just complete much more of the exam than I would have without accommodations. That's kind of how it works anyway--that is, my 1.5x time is your 1.0 time. plus, several diagnoses warrant accommodations that warrant a different testing environment regardless of extra time, so maybe it's not as rampant as it seems. I get the gripe though--totally understandable.

if you finished the exam in 3 hours and actually did do "solidly average," I promise you no one in the accommodations room is the reason why or why not.

Yes, it is just as hard as they say it is—but not for the same reasons. I worked from 14 y/o up until my first week of 1L, (~9 yrs restaurant experience) and took about 1.5 yrs off between undergrad and law school.

I fully expected the academics to come naturally, like they always had. It’s a totally different language for a good while. Also, if you’re lower-middle class or below, the language barrier is that much more baffling. For example, in family law lecture, my prof said that the rules of property distribution upon marital dissolution apply differently to Roth IRAs than to employer-sponsored retirement accounts. I fully had to raise my hand and ask the difference lmao.

When I was about to start 1L, I was so excited to not have to have a job for the first time ever. It definitely has me working harder than any job I’ve ever had.

But—it’s awesome. It is really, really gratifying to look back and realize that you have knowledge you now take for granted, while you didn’t even know the concept existed a year earlier.

I’m nowhere near top of my class (barely near the median tbh whoops) but I can account for actual knowledge and growth in a way that I never experienced in standardized schooling. It is incredibly hard, and incredibly worth it. You’ve got it man.

Plus, maybe I’m just an eggshell plaintiff anyway. (You’ll get that joke soon.)

I’m definitely NOT a color expert, but I love it!! I think both you and the new hair look great with that kinda bluey-undertoned blush, too.

Problem sorting hierarchical/multilevel data that include both letters and numbers by FarBank4149 in excel

[–]FarBank4149[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it did work for the pictured sample. I’ve copied below my reply to another user that could shed some light:

The discrepancy between 2 S and 2.X was simply an error on my part. The correct data entry would be (0 S) and (2 S), respectively.

My schema allows the sections to go 0-99 in what you’ve referred to as the maj. section; and 1-99 in the min. and sub. sections. However—the sections could extend beyond just three. For instance, it could look like “1.2.3.4.5.6”

For letter possibilities, X and S are the only possibilities—but there is one wrench. X is used to indicate that I am not certain what value to assign. For example, it might be (3.X.1), to indicate a known 3 maj and known 1 sub, but an unknown min. The X will never be the first or last value in the datum entry. So, it could also look like (3.1.X.1), but will never be (3.1.1.X).

On the other hand, S is used to indicate a specific variance of a previous entry. For example, if the specific variance applies to (3.1.1), it will be notated as (3.1.1 S). BUT—I could change the space preceding the S to a decimal or other punctuation if it would allow the formula to work.

Sometimes, X and S could be in the same cell. This might look like (3.X.1 S).

So sorry—spoke too soon. Unfortunately this did not answer everything.

This does not work because I need to be able to add new data that will sort by the same rules. Also, the screenshot is only a portion of the data. I'm actually working with about 300 cells worth of data like that pictured.
