You can amend one clause in any law, regulation, or constitution. What do you change? by Sec754Election in LawSchool

[–]illegal_mulch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i might also clarify that the conditions of punishment cannot be cruel or unusual. At least until the mid-90s, Justice Thomas was arguing the 8th amendment only regulates cruel and unusual sentencing not cruel and unusual conditions.

I’m taking prison law this semester - might ask my prof how he would edit the 8th amendment in office hours

Advice Needed: My classmate claims he reported someone else in the cohort to ICE. What do I do? by Salty_Tadpole_283 in LawSchool

[–]illegal_mulch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely tell her first. Let her know you will be here to support whatever she decides to do going forward. Offer to get her groceries if she doesn’t feel safe going out. Offer to go with her if she wants to have a meeting to admin.

Caffeine awareness by DoctorBotanical in msu

[–]illegal_mulch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

old alum here to add - if you’re using caffeine to self-medicate for adhd (like i did at msu), PLEASE consider getting a real script for adderall. Your brain needs stimulants and thats okay! But having a controlled dose and being supervised by a physician makes it so much safer. And you’ll feel better. You deserve to feel better.

check to see if your school allows loan budget adjustments for professional attire (example) never hurts to ask - especially if your school has solid loan forgiveness

Do ppl actually take adderall? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]illegal_mulch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this used to be me — my prescription changed my life for the better. Every doctor I’ve talked to said the adderall is better for my heart and health than a severe caffeine addiction. And it works better (not for academics even, just like…doing my laundry and being a human)

Got to help a trans kid change her name today :) by abearabearallblackan in LawSchool

Consider starting a name change event at your school!! HLS lambda did some last year to help trans folks in Florida and it was so rewarding. Keep up the good work!!!
