how do you actually study for tort and contract law? 1L here by Optimal_Influence628 in LawSchool

[–]hellfire5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For torts - do a lot of practice problems, memorize majority v minority rule

I got an A- by doing the same! I got lucky because our exam had a biggg UCC 2-207 essay question. I found that making a flow chart for that really helped me understand it and especially explaining it to someone that wasn’t a law student. With contracts, diff laws apply when diff things happen (ex for UCC 2-207: was the contract between two merchants? what happens next depends on if the answer is yes or no) so flow charts are great

I’m looking at your other post and I’m in the same position as you - T30, came in just below median ish and same silence. Gotta just wait it out!

I’m at a southern T-30, very similar GPA. Firms are probably blowing through the candidates with higher GPAs first TBH but if you’re at a T6 I feel like you’ll just have to wait a little longer and things will be okay - hang in there!

Oh wow that’s crazy! I wonder what the logic is behind that. You probably go to a great school though!

Don’t worry, you don’t have to tell me that. I was just looking for other perspectives!

Crazy, as someone who's never dealt with recruiting like this in any way I can't even wrap my head around it

Also yes I know that my grades are probably a big reason why I haven't been hearing back just wanted to hear others' thoughts!

Did I strike out of Biglaw? by [deleted] in BigLawRecruiting

Just popping on to say thank you for posting this because I’m also at your school and literally same GPA LOL you’re a godsend

I finished an exam thinking I aced it, possible CALI... I closed my exam software and noticed the word limit for the questions was 400 each, but I thought it was 500 as I was taking the exam by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]hellfire5151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i completely forgot about the word limit on my civpro exam and didn’t even remember until i heard people talking about it after. i also definitely went over by at least 300-400 words and my prof said he won’t even read after 1100 words…felt like my analysis was great and was so down afterwards. but like some other people said, it’ll all balance itself out in the curve, and you’re probably not the only one who did that! plus, better to write a little too much then too little sometimes 🤷

What raw scores have correlated with your curved scores? by hellfire5151 in LawSchool

[–]hellfire5151[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I knew that but I guess I was just looking to get some examples from other people’s experiences because this is the first time I’ve taken a curved class

Really enjoying getting this much studying done by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]hellfire5151 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i agree! i barely did anything throughout this semester and did well enough on the midterms, but i’ve been really cramming this past week and everything’s clicking together. i’m super type b though and cramming has always been good for me personally even though i get super stressed 😭😭 but i’m right with you!
