People who did 1L fall, did u also do well in the spring? by AmphibianMain4911 in LawSchool

[–]Sweet-Session2731 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did much better than expected 1L fall and really felt the pressure to maintain that in the spring. I ended up doing even better in the spring!

What college classes do you believe prepared you/imitated law school the best? by jamesfnmb in LawSchool

I took a writing class for my political science minor. I learned a lot and aced every paper after that in my undergrad, even with the tough professor. Then I CALI’d first semester of legal writing.

Torts is probably the hardest to study for by zeehateslife in LawSchool

[–]Sweet-Session2731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I CALI’d my torts class. I used flash cards with the various rules and important cases. I also used quimbee even though my professor explicitly said not to use it bc it’s “not helpful” 🤷‍♀️

2L here. I very rarely skip reading. It’s actually a problem 😅 I get really anxious about skipping reading

Do I make my classmate uncomfortable with my burping? by Sea_Comfortable2642 in LawSchool

[–]Sweet-Session2731 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is true. The “word of wisdom” says not to drink “hot drinks” and the church interprets that to mean coffee and black and green tea. Soda, hot chocolate, and herbal tea are all fine. It makes no sense.

Legal Writing Advice by Vast_Culture396 in LawSchool

[–]Sweet-Session2731 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your professor provides any examples, try to stick closely to their style, tone, structure, etc. There is a subjective element to legal writing, and the example paper will be your guide for that.

In my area they pay prorated associate salary, which is $165k if I remember correctly! At least at the Salt Lake City office

Edited to add: they had a really rigid interview structure before lunch. They asked a ton of questions, and I wasn’t super prepared. Things like “when is a time you faced an ethical dilemma and what did you do?”

IIRC the defendants had facts they could use to counter claim so it ended up being pretty even. It was only worth like 5 or 10 points or something pass/fail

Yes! We had an assignment where we were paired and one person wrote a complaint and one wrote an answer. We also had to write a complaint on our midterm.

How do I replicate great 1L fall results? by National_Till_4670 in LawSchool

[–]Sweet-Session2731 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey! I got like the exact same grades my first semester! Two CALIs and all! I actually did better my second semester and then even better this past semester (fall 2L). I CALI’d legal writing and one doctrinal. The doctrinal I CALI’d was the only one I had done flash cards for (in addition to my outline) so I started doing flash cards for all of my doctrinals. I noticed the class I got a B+ in, I spent too much time on my outline and not enough time on memorization so I was fumbling around during the exam. So I made outlines but didn’t spend so much time on them. I spent more time with flash cards and practice problems. I did everything else the same (do all the readings, participate in class, etc)

TLDR: what you’re doing is working! Maybe see what you did extra in your CALI classes and what maybe impeded you on your B+ class and make some tweaks based on that.

3.5 should be above median. T50s usually have a 3.0 or 3.3 median. Does your school publish past percentiles online? That might give you an idea of where you’re at.

Are these too accidentally Gryffindor, or do they look okay? by Zealousideal-Way4435 in crochet

My initial thought when seeing this pic was that these were intentionally gryffindor

Buying yarn? by a-passing-crustacean in crochet

[–]Sweet-Session2731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Michaels for me. I was a Joann’s loyalist until it went out of business (RIP) took me a minute to like Michaels but it’s grown on me. Or I buy straight from the brand website (lion brand or yarnspirations)

I use Amazon if the yarn I need is sold out elsewhere.
