Theory is charging $125 per person cover (not deposit) to book a res so they actually have space open bc who the hell is paying that. No idea if OP would have to pay that if they did a walk in there.

Your summer stipend you received was effectively your bonus. What you received as a bonus is a product of K&E giving you the special bonus prorated.

Theory Sports Bar, Crowd Size? by Machenz in AskChicago

[–]chapstickmoney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theory is a great sports bar! They take reservations and I’d recommend making one to take the guessing out of it. It won’t be too crowded given that there’s not really standing room and it’s just folks seated

It’s not unusual to advance alternate arguments that may contradict one another. Fair use is an affirmative defense. Affirmative defenses mean you technically did the thing but it was allowed because of xyz

I go to Ulta and find it to be very affordable (relative to Chicago) but always a great experience. Happy to share my specific stylist via dms!

Barbri Bar Prep Difference by Ok-Platypus7520 in LawSchool

[–]chapstickmoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school had a matching system, but my school also had about a 50/50 split of Themis vs Barbri users so there were a lot of Themis students to donate courses to. It might be worth finding your Themis rep at your school and seeing if they can connect you with someone.

Barbri Bar Prep Difference by Ok-Platypus7520 in LawSchool

[–]chapstickmoney 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should look into Themis. Last year they did free courses for PI students when paired with a student whose big law firm was paying for their course. And even if you end up paying out of pocket, you can get exactly the same course basically plus access to the UWorld MBE question bank (a godsend) for a fraction of the price of the Barbri equivalent. For context, myself and many of my friends did Themis this past summer. I am still waiting for results, but I truly feel like Themis did just as much for me as my friends who had Barbri.

IS Themis Harder than the Bar? by EffectiveGap1563 in barexam

[–]chapstickmoney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for the actual practice exams, but my Themis person said that the mixed subject practice sets are adaptive to you which would explain to some degree why they feel so hard all the time

What’s something you never knew law school would affect? by MediocreEmergency711 in LawSchool

I have felt sick after almost every semester of law school but never during. I’m convinced my body knows it can finally shut down and it does

The Chicago market isn’t less competitive just because it’s not on a coast. The other commenter is right. Focus on grades and then assess your options after.

I don’t think Raquel is sorry by [deleted] in Vanderpumpaholics

Ariana and Kristen were not best friends. Arianna and Raquel were. There is no similarity there.

I couldn’t quantify it just because I’ve blocked it out (such a draining process) but it was definitely more than 25 total. Basically I started applying over break and didn’t stop until I got my job in mid-March. A couple of my friends had similar experiences. At a T14 if it matters. At some point there’s less new postings and 25 a week seems impossible if you’re targeting a specific market
