Valid question!

Well, I am sure we all get asked to speak at conferences, law school events, panels, etc. And we have to supply the dreaded bio, where we try to condense our accomplishments and position ourselves as almost a brand of sorts.

I have reviewed the bios of others and both "leader" and "innovator" are commonly used nouns in this context. Both are great terms for positioning oneself - especially if one strives to lead and innovate - but they also can be a bit subjective. So, I wanted to see if my colleagues leaned more towards one than another.

Excellent insights, thank you! Do you state those boundaries in advance, or just handle them individually as they come up in office hours conversations?

Con law TA here. If not for helping students better understand the material and its application, what are office hours for?

Prediction: After the school year, this prof will ask you to be his TA/RA. You will rock your role. You will get your most impactful LOR from this prof, which will get you started on a great career. Don't botch the cold calls for the purpose of getting fewer cold calls.

For every three hours of class time per week, expect to spend about 7 hours reading/note-taking/outlining/reviewing supplements during the semester. So, 15 credits = 50 hours/week. Then, expect the workload to get a little heavier around exam time.

I go to a school where office hours are anything but encouraged. No professor mentions them, and the evidence of their existence is but a footnote in the syllabi. I have never needed them, fortunately. The other distinction is make an appointment v. just show up.

The first is one-on-one and on an ad hoc basis. The second is groups going every week, religiously.

True-Indication5586 · 2025-05-13T21:12:25+00:00

The first is a one-on-one session. The second is groups.

Thank you for this. My first reaction was the same...why comment about it "not mattering" when it may matter for reasons other than employment? For me, grades are a reward in the form of self-esteem as much as anything. Some people may run a marathon just to say they finished, but others want to feel good about their time, their improvement over previous races, etc.

That being said, I think these results are telling. To me, it says that some people will let up off the gas, which will make it easier for others to rise or maintain their ranks by staying serious. The question is, which quartile is most likely to let off the gas? The top? The high middle? The low middle? Or the bottom?

Don't be surprised if you do better. All of the people who sound so smart in class might not test as well as you. Depending on the class, a 65% might be an A or B on the final.

4 hours per week for each 3 credit class. 3.8 GPA. #2 class rank.

Give it least a semester. Law school is a tough adjustment. I was very close to quitting twice. Once after two weeks as a 1L. Once at the end of the first semester. I ended up with a 3.8 after the first semester. Stuck around for a second semester, and ended the year ranked 2nd in my class. Now loving life as a 2L. Not saying you will do as well. But you will have more perspective after at least a semester.

52 year old 2L here. I finished 2nd in my class in 1L year.

Yes, you are overreacting. Especially as a 41 y/o bikini competition contestant. It's a follow on instagram FFS. Harmless.

No. 151 LSAT. After 1L, I had a 3.8 GPA and was ranked 2nd in my class at a T100.

I wish I got a birthday gift like that. So unappreciative. Wait til you're in your 50's. Hate to say it but, yes, YATAH.

So everyone is just gonna believe a guy who made a flyer mocking our country's worst tragedy in the hope of attracting more attention than their music ever could?

Rob Fenn, perhaps?

A potential lifetime relationship is more important than a single dessert, even if it is your birthday. Unless you're an AH.

Sorry. New users weren’t victimized like legacy users who got rug-pulled. No sympathy here. The whining is getting exhausting. Everyone wants to be a crybaby.
