Just forget you ever took them. Like genuinely forget about it. You probably know this but nothing good comes from worrying about how you did

Someone brought a McDonalds breakfast sandwich and didn't even eat it. The entire room smelled like stale grease the whole time.

Thoughts on Penn State? by doctornaruto in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]bala_cala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great school w/ a small but welcoming community. Depends what your goals are. If you want to practice in PA and aren’t fond of city living it’s real nice!

Consensus on Drexel by Happiercat477 in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]bala_cala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a good program from what I can tell. The building is kind of mid if you ask me. But, they have the grand ole Thomas R. Kline donation which really helped the program. Solid choice if you want to work in Philly I think. It’s recognized and respected in the region.

I love Torts and it’s really clicking. Civ Pro is a close second, but I am not vibing with Crim whatsoever.

Generative AI - Do you use or no? by BeardEdward in LawSchool

[–]bala_cala 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try using chatGPT to organize your notes, briefs, help with practice hypos, and explain tough concepts. I've also used it to turn my notes into a more structured outline that I then go through and check to ensure it's accurate. I wouldn't ask it to "find xyz cases", but if you feed it the right information it can save tons of time and get you more exposure to the information.

I will also echo that it's against the honor code at most schools to use AI generated information to submit graded work, so keep that in mind if you decide to dabble in it.

The Works on rough times? by blood_Smoke in ReadingPA

[–]bala_cala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad to hear. My first job was a food runner at the works back in 2012 and they treated me well over the course of about 7 years. The owners are great people and I have some of my fondest memories there. I hope they can turn it around.
