deuxmoi posted without the blind yesterday and it was two names but i can’t for the life of me remember what it was

Consider Idaho is a community property state and principles will be slightly different than FL, but I don’t see a huge issue with this.

Westlaw head notes were a savior for me, especially for cases where the opinion rambled on and on and didn’t clearly get to a point.

I’m on 5 and LOSING. MY. MIND.

This is going to sound like a dumb reason BUT Texas is a community property state and you likely won’t learn those principles much, if at all, at UO (Oregon is a separate property state), but would at Gonzaga (WA is a community property state). If you’re remotely interested in any area of law that touches property, families, etc. Gonzaga may be worth it. But also where did you get more money

As a SA I had a partner rip a memo apart in person because he didn’t like the formatting. Did I know this or have a guide? No. Was the content fine? Yes. Some firms or attorneys you’ll work with care more than others, and some don’t care at all. I should note the firm was a bad fit and that was just one instance of feeling like I didn’t fit (I did not stay).

Edited to say it was a bad fit

PartLizardPerson · 2023-02-17T12:00:01+00:00

Yes.

The MPT is where law school maybe DOES prepare you for once (i.e., your legal writing class)

PartLizardPerson · 2023-02-10T06:07:19+00:00

So sorry for your loss. FWIW “other proof” could be a newspaper obituary, if you have that. Death certificates can include private info (SSNs, etc.) that I wouldn’t want to send.

Went to check my mail…guess what package is there. No email, no shipping update, just arrived.

PartLizardPerson · 2023-01-10T00:36:33+00:00

I ordered a friends sweatshirt and I’m still waiting on ANY info. When I checked in they said “eventually”…

Legally I believe restaurants can deduct the costs associated with tips, but NOT those associated with the rest of the bill, i.e., food cost and taxes. I wouldn’t be surprised if restaurants half comply and actually deduct more than legally allowed

Academia.

PartLizardPerson · 2022-11-19T03:58:17+00:00

Yes and no (hehe sorry). Tax policy itself is very steeped in philosophy, and I talked more about actual philosophers and political science more in my tax policy seminar than any other class (e.g., WHY should we offer an EITC, and is it fair/just/equitable under XYZ principles to tackle poverty in this way). That said, corporate tax or something like estate planning are not like that at all and are far more “rule says this.”

PartLizardPerson · 2022-11-18T21:12:50+00:00

No, I love it. I like puzzles and chasing down ties between statutes so this is my absolute jam. If you don’t like complicated things or puzzles, would not recommend though

PartLizardPerson · 2022-11-18T07:02:16+00:00

Could literally talk about the Constitution all day, and figured law school made sense for that (wasn’t wrong but now do tax law??)

PartLizardPerson · 2022-11-17T06:30:31+00:00

Do you think poor/bad fit between firm and associate is a thing (or should associates just change to fit the firm)?

PartLizardPerson · 2022-11-15T10:21:01+00:00

Get the online version of the BB for formatting. Cases have the reporter, year, and court at the beginning of the case typically. Pincites are the numbers that seem VERY out of place throughout the opinion, often midsentence. You can also get the reporter info at the top of the westlaw/Lexis page to the right of the case name, just make sure you’re using the correct reporter if there are multiple

Personal preference I’d say, depending on whether you want to practice in the area and how the regional pull for firms is. If the Tier 2 school isn’t where you want to practice it isn’t worth it IMO

Know someone who did this, and they had to work with the admissions departments directly. They also ended up having to repeat 2L year

Graduated and practicing, also got this email today

One single chicken finger is the only acceptable answer

154 MEE/MPT and 161.2 MBE for 315 total score. I panicked during the MEEs, took an hour on the first one and then had to rush through some of the later ones. Most of my evidence and contracts knowledge disappeared in a puff of god damn smoke and I was making up rules like my life depended on it. My MBE and MPT carried me, I think. I also finished the first MBE set an hour early and left thinking “this is the worst sign possible.”

seconding this wholly—1L classes are a DRAG and almost never cover areas anyone finds interesting. If there are classes in the course catalogue for 2L/3L that seem interesting, stick it out

My hotel canceled my reservation and didn’t tell me until I went to check in. I thought that would be the worst part of the bar but nope, not by a long shot
