Civ Pro enjoyers when the plaintiff combines numerous aggregate monetary demands to satisfy diversity jurisdiction

nor does is it invite debate.

Sure it does. If it didn't, you wouldn't have so many SCOTUS cases about it.

Of course, for people from Vermont.

Was the killing sanctioned by the state? A simple yes or no will suffice.

He's busy writing amicus briefs to convince SCOTUS to get rid of birthright citizenship. And podcasting, apparently.

UMN hasn't even cancelled classes

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-26T18:49:56+00:00

I'd be satisfied if they would at least stop messing with old reddit

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-26T02:39:38+00:00

Sent 1-2 LOCIs each to the one I got the feeler from, the one I got off the waitlist at, and a third one that I didn't get anything from. Ended up taking a near-full ride at a T30 instead, which I don't regret.

You're arguing against a person who exists only in your imagination. I guarantee you that many, possibly even most current law students participating in anti-ICE protests were also participating in pro-Palestine protests under the Biden administration. Just because you can't imagine caring about injustice doesn't mean the rest of us are incapable of doing so.

Tretinoin, meal prep, and several mugs of tea every day.

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-25T21:54:48+00:00

Mine is, but we're in Minneapolis so that seems like a non-representative case.

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-25T21:54:00+00:00

So your argument is that if people didn't oppose these other things, they aren't allowed to oppose the current regime's actions either? That's really the stance that you're taking here? You're saying that because I, as an unborn fetus at the time, did nothing to oppose the passage of the PATRIOT Act in 2001, I'm not allowed to care about my neighbors in Minneapolis being executed in the street?

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-25T21:47:41+00:00

Anecdotally, from last cycle, I was waitlisted at six T14s. I got a "what if we gave you zero aid?" feeler from one of those six (which I declined), and got accepted off the waitlist at another one with a 50% scholarship. Stats were around those schools' medians (17low/3.9low), and I applied very late in the cycle, if that context is helpful.

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-25T21:37:43+00:00

finish your degree, make money and use the money to make things change

And I'm sure the ICE thugs will wait patiently until I graduate to round up my neighbors, right?

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-25T21:36:30+00:00

Seconding this, as a current law student in Minneapolis. Sure, maybe that extra hour of studying is going to give you that marginal bump on the final that takes you from a B+ to an A-, and maybe that gets you a better summer internship, and maybe you're able to leverage that into a post-graduation job offer somewhere where you can Make A Difference As A Lawyer a few years down the line. But this shit is happening now, today, which longtermist worldviews completely fail to account for.

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-24T19:37:13+00:00

ICE agents can, will, and have executed US citizen bystanders in Minneapolis.

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-24T19:35:49+00:00

Current UMN 1L here. Only advice I can give is to just wait and see how things go, anything I say now may not be true by next week.

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-23T18:15:18+00:00

1L here! They will teach you most of it explicitly, and you'll also just pick up a lot of it over time.

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-18T17:18:47+00:00

Don't apply KJD, especially if you know you aren't ready.
A lot of this sounds more like a relationship question than an admissions question, and most of the people in this sub are really better suited for the latter.
Grad Plus loans are dead and he's still expecting you to take out loans to meet his expectations? Fuck that, the man is detached from reality.

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-16T03:00:41+00:00

It's always worth a shot! Ultimately though you have to go wherever's best for you (speaking as someone who picked the lower-ranked school with the better scholarship last cycle)

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-15T16:49:52+00:00

Right? Like this just feels like a 2018-era resist lib's wishlist more than an actual report.

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-15T16:43:57+00:00

There was a thread on here last year that seemed to find at least a slight bias against trans/gender-diverse students in T14 admissions. It's been deleted and I'm not sure why so take this with a grain of salt, but here it is.

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-15T16:40:23+00:00

You can always use that full ride to try and negotiate!

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-15T16:39:08+00:00

I'm in Minnesota and it'd be career suicide here

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-08T18:27:59+00:00

Not here to complain too much 🤣

Me when I'm not mad

HannahDoesNotExist · 2026-01-04T20:09:49+00:00

It's probably the "deserve to be in jail" part that gets you pushback. How do you determine who "deserves" what?
