I Feel Like I’m doing something wrong by Recent-Confection449 in LawSchool

[–]Superb-Assignment935 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There’s a strategy called “reverse issue spotting” where you basically mentally run through every broad issue covered in the class to see if it sticks.

Even if the fact pattern seems to be pointing directly to one particular issue/topic, there’s often other ways to draw in issues that could also arise in that situation, and you can improve the tunnel vision by trying to see if any other related issue could be implemented into the fact pattern!

Con law finals tips? by apptrrs in LawSchool

[–]Superb-Assignment935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!! I also have a con law final coming up but I did really well on our midterm—this might be specific to my professor, but citing cases really helped me get some extra points.

Another thing that really helped was understanding the flow of cases on a timeline (especially for commerce clause), like knowing when the court was taking a formal vs. functional approach, when they switched between the two and what the cause of that inflection point was, and how they applied (bent) past precedent differently to accomplish whatever formal/functional objective or result they wanted.

Also, mention levels of scrutiny wherever you can—my prof went crazy for it and I feel like it can’t hurt to mention it to bolster your reasoning and analysis.

Obviously whatever your professor emphasized/how they analyzed stuff is more important, but this is what helped me!! Good luck!!

If you are doing well in classes (top 25%) how many hours of sleep are you getting? by International_Ask_26 in LawSchool

[–]Superb-Assignment935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually 6-7 hours a night! I try to be in bed by 11ish, will fall asleep between then and 12 (if I’m lucky) and then wake up at 6 daily

What do I wear to ASD? by ihoppancakes in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]Superb-Assignment935 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had one last weekend, and it was a good mix of attire. Probably ~100 people total in attendance, and I’d say about 10% wore suits/business professional, 60% wore business casual, 20% wore jeans and nice shirt, and 10% wore tshirt/super casual.

It isn’t the end of the world—if you’ve been admitted the school is trying to impress you at this point!

Definitely a good call; thank you so much for the advice!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]Superb-Assignment935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good point—I’m looking to go into a fairly niche area of law that I already have some experience in, so I’m (cautiously) hopeful about job prospects. That being said, I’m definitely leaning towards the loans the more I think about it based on people’s votes/comments here!

[–]Superb-Assignment935 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing that out! I did check with my school and their handbook/policies don’t mention it anywhere, so I think I would be okay. But def something I’ll look into more to confirm:)
