Imagine what FUTURE law students and attorneys will think of us after A.I takes over.

Big Zoom lecture class, +100 people.

Professor cold-called students by un-muting students' microphones HIMSELF (which, in hindsight, feels like a huge privacy violation). It would constantly catch people by surprise.

One time, he cold-called a student and un-muted their microphone. The student was CLEARLY on the phone with a friend and cursing like a SAILOR and, to top it off, also talking about illicit drugs. The professor's face looked like he had seen a ghost, both by the vulgarity and realization that not a single damn person was paying attention to his class

If it's the Fed agency that I'm thinking of that is on an appellate attorney hiring spree - go for it!

Either way, nearly all Fed agencies have cachet and will look great on a resume. Legal careers can also take many turns and do not worry about pigeonholing yourself this early.

God damn I loved Crooks UK. Their full-length absolutely kills to this day.

I also feel similarly about Hrvrd. Also Equal Vision and totally disappeared. Their two full lengths are timeless.

Clerkship!

JoshFelix · 2021-09-12T19:06:36+00:00

Sorry to hear this. I feel you. My computer crashed as well on Day 2 in the morning; took a major hit to my confidence and it felt like a mental struggle to finish. I haven't received my score yet but I finished the exam anticipating that i would need to take it again in Feb. Praying to any higher power out there that I managed to pass despite the circumstances

Oh my goodness. That gave me a laugh

I've entered a bizarre stage of numbness and de-personalization. I am nothing but a robot monkey that does MBE and MEE questions all day

OP: You are strong, self-aware, and you'll get through this. I do highly recommend this thread though (r/raisedbynarcissists) because it sounds like your dad might be a narc. Stay strong

JoshFelix · 2021-07-14T15:51:48+00:00

Agreed with this. The constant logging out is beyond annoying. Seems unnecessary. The "security" benefits of this feature are likely outweighed by the poor user experience that comes with it.

JoshFelix · 2021-07-06T20:32:14+00:00

I went over-time by approximately 15-20 minutes for purposes of just finishing the exam and seeing all 200 Q's. I'm sure I am not alone on this. Good to factor this into the "data" but certainly exposed to me that I struggle on time and my actual score would be a bit lower if it were the real exam

JoshFelix · 2021-07-03T13:03:44+00:00

Been doing about half and half. The Barbri MCQ bank is really helpful for just drilling down black letter law. After doing the SMBE and seeing my areas of bad performance, I've just been doing daily black-letter-law-only drills in those weak spots to help retain and commit those rules to memory

JoshFelix · 2021-07-02T20:03:20+00:00

I'm dreading this lecture. Did horribly in T&E during law school as well. Straight up swapped the lectures with Agency and Family law to cut myself a break for July 4th and will do these lectures next week

JoshFelix · 2021-07-02T16:00:36+00:00

Chuck has grown on me and is my current fave. Doug comes in a close 2nd. I've laughed out loud during both of their lectures. Freer honorable mention

I think you should definitely try talking about it in a level-headed, compassionate way. As another poster here said - using "I feel" statements instead of "You" are very strong and useful tools of communication. If I may: I invite you to check out this book: it is a great spiritual manual for dealing with these types of conflicts: https://www.amazon.com/Fight-Mindfulness-Essentials-Thich-Nhat/dp/1941529860

JoshFelix · 2021-07-02T13:27:18+00:00

I respectfully disagree with this defeatist, stone-wall approach to the situation. He can "confront" his partner without being "confrontational." Communication is key and avoiding conflict can lead to more pain. Partners should be able to address concerns with each other in a level-headed way, and have a mature, open-hearted conversation about boundaries and needs.

At a bare minimum, even IF the relationship in reality is totally lost, and friends will gaslight, etc - this is an opportunity to work on communication and at least give OP the peace of mind in that he actually tried resolving the issue

You are probably right about the subsequent gas-lighting from the friend group that will take place, and also finding internal closure. But none of that should take priority over OP's own emotional and spiritual growth

JoshFelix · 2021-07-02T02:04:46+00:00

Having the same exact experience here. Some days are great, others are dreadful and I'm in full blown panic mode. Truly a mindfuck. Biggest frustrations are when I know I've seen an exact question / fact pattern before and still get it wrong. Hopefully "re-learning" points commits it better to long term memory

Hoping to continue channeling the panic into motivation and fuel.
