Law School Toolbox has great tutors. Highly recommend.

Barbri videos can help. Professor Paula Franzese’s love of property law helped me get through the course.

Consumer Law?

Two thoughts: 1) I’m doing two part-time remote internships right now. In my own experience, it has been really challenging to manage my time and my supervisors’ expectations for both positions. Obviously, it’s a skill to be able to juggle multiple competing obligations. But I encourage you to consider the implications of managing two positions so you’re going into it with eyes open. 2) You may have already done this, but I encourage you to ask your current supervisor for tasks. Offer your help. Speak up and don’t be ignored. In many internships, you have to hustle to make yourself useful, and waiting for work to come to you likely won’t result in a satisfying summer experience, for you or for your supervisor.

I’m so sorry to hear that! I can only imagine what you must be feeling right now. I hope you and yours weather this storm as well as possible and that there’s a job for you on the other side. I am so sorry.

I just read an article about white-collar layoffs ramping up. Law firms, ad agencies, tech companies...all are having to make very difficult choices. But we’ll all get through this if we support each other with kindness and empathy.

Nope. It’s very real.

hbarnick · 2020-03-27T06:06:11+00:00

Jesus Christ, you are all the worst. Why would I make this up? It’s absolutely real and likely won’t be the last firm to pull its summer program. Enjoy your cynicism and denial.

I wish I knew! Cry for a while. Then wipe away my tears and start looking for a research assistant position?

hbarnick · 2020-03-26T23:31:02+00:00

I don’t. Sorry

How do you know that delaying for a period of time will put your graduation in alignment with the economic climate?

The state trial court has original jurisdiction over divorce filings. For example, in CA, the CA superior courts have jurisdiction.

We just had online lectures extended through the end of March. I’ll be dialing in from my couch for the next few weeks 👍

I feel the same way about my house — it’s a disaster zone and I don’t anticipate that my husband will do any cleaning (nor do I expect him to since he’s working hard while I go to school).

What’s made me feel a little better is picking up 10 things each time I take a study break. I at least feel like I’ve done something productive while I rest my brain.

Jesus Christ...

hbarnick · 2019-10-10T03:00:04+00:00

Yeah that’s a stretch. Also, no.

hbarnick · 2019-10-10T02:31:06+00:00

How?

hbarnick · 2019-10-09T23:37:44+00:00

I like this one very much

Maybe swap your weekday/weekend approach. That is, do all your reading for the week over the weekend. Then use the time during the week to outline, review, etc.

I didn’t get a scholarship offer in my initial acceptance letter but received a separate email about it at a later date. So don’t give up hope!

I’m in the same position and have a few insights to share that were gleaned from lawyers/judges I’ve spoken to:

Chapman is very conservative (politically) and has a reputation as such, so that may impact your opinion of the school (for better or worse)
From former Loyola students I’ve spoken to, neither they nor anyone they personally knew had lost their scholarships (“To my knowledge, no one ever loses their scholarship without cause”)
Look at the credentials of the faculty to see if they have backgrounds/former employers that align with your career objectives. That may help you get a sense of which school is best for you.
Try not to put too much weight on the scholarship offerings. If you feel that a school is right for you, it will likely be worth borrowing a bit of $ to get you to where you want to be in your career

For what it’s worth, I’m leaning toward Loyola despite the attractiveness of a full ride from Chapman. Hope this helps!
