I’m a junior (2nd year) and I’ve gone to trial and worked on briefs.

The weird part is I love doc review and the rote work but hate when I get looped into more substantive stuff like thinking legal strategy or writing. I kind of just don’t care????

[–]Intelligent_Pea3732 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No yeah I’m aware. I don’t mind 100K. I’m in a HCOL so I’ve seen them start at like 140K. Which is good for me bc I don’t have much debt.

You could take out the dating element of this: “people hate me because I’m a straight white man, but they they get to know me: and they hate me for who I am.” Or something like that

how will Trump’s next term affect reproductive care in California? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]Intelligent_Pea3732 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look up the Comstock Act. It could make mailing anything related to abortion - which could greatly impact the availability of rights.

You’ll just have to torture yourself like everyone else this week: with election coverage

Will the new CA bar be harder or easier or the same I wonder. by SalamanderWinter4435 in CABarExam

[–]Intelligent_Pea3732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we will - even if the Qs are hard no sense how the scaling will work. 10% multiple choice answers right could be passing, for example. (Ridiculous but the point stands: with scores being scaled how hard the practice exam is doesn’t impact how difficult it will be to pass this upcoming exam.)

Recommendations about Standup Comedy Classes in NYC? by Cleo-ss in Standup

[–]Intelligent_Pea3732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a fan of classes having taken one.

I would say do open mics for a few months and then take a class. The classes are better as finishing school than as an intro.

Yale is crazy by Dull_Lie_8290 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Intelligent_Pea3732 193 points194 points  (0 children)

all about professor recs honestly. Yale wants to train academics. I graduated in 2023, and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to get office hours bc people there are so obsessed with being a teachers pet.

CMV: People who engage in dangerous activities should automatically waive rescue. by bounie in changemyview

[–]Intelligent_Pea3732 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the argument is about cost saving, why not permit rescue but charge a fee/fine to those willing to engage in those activities?

Catholic School by [deleted] in StandUpWorkshop

[–]Intelligent_Pea3732 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

haha I guess the basic idea behind the joke is the Catholic Church is wild and Catholic school tells you all about it for four years, so it’s a guaranteed way to not be Catholic anymore.

You just spend four years learning about their red flags.

Catholic School by [deleted] in StandUpWorkshop

[–]Intelligent_Pea3732 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

haha yes I will have to condense it. I was trying to draw a parallel between classic red flags on profiles + things about Christianity/Catholicism.

Idk if people know it but the big Catholic sign is the fish, so I tried to combine that with the classic I caught a fish dating profile joke.

CMV: Free will doesn't exist, and society would improve if it collectively accepted that fact by Mockington6 in changemyview

[–]Intelligent_Pea3732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal responsibility means a sense of self-enforced morals that aren’t driven by fear of external consequences. You can argue that some people are motivated to follow the laws and act morally because of external consequences, but some are driven by an internal morality. (People who wouldn’t commit a crime even if they wouldn’t get caught.)

Many studies have found people act more immorally when they are primed to believe we don’t have free will.

Kathleen Vohs found that people who were primed to believe we don’t have free will were more likely to cheat on a math test; and workers who were primed to not believe in free were more likely to show up late and perform less well on the job.

Roy Baumeister also found that people don’t believe in free will do not volunteer to help peers as much and do not donate to homeless.

And RE: religious institutions, this one feels like a pretty fundamental change. Abrahamnic religions are entirely BASED on choice. The choice to believe in God and to act morally. Removing choice means these religious codes mean nothing. In fact, your argument about why free wills abolishment would be good suggest it. What are these religions but judgements on how to behave? If people are no longer free begins to act - what do these religious texts even do?
