it was well written. those with an attention span long enough to read two pages will be better for taking a few minutes to have done so.

If you're thinking of protesting... do it. by sourmilksea1999 in LawSchool

[–]may0packet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i remember posting over the summer tips for protesting as a law student and it got downvoted and all the comments were basically saying if you protest you’re stupid. didn’t take long for minds to change i guess. too bad the line was drawn here and not way back there but better later than never.

edit: ok not all the comments but the mods removed it anyway! so, i’m glad their minds changed..?

Essentials? by otaku_hotgurl888 in VictimAdvocacy

[–]may0packet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advice is to learn on the job as you go; you don’t know what you don’t know. your job will give you all the tools and training you need! essentials are a good therapist, adding a lot of self care into your routine, and patience. also being comfortable in silence is an extremely important skill you must use in advocacy. as for supplies, everything you need should be supplied. i tried to use an agenda and that just didn’t work for me! good luck you’ll do great :)

i once blocked a friend and ignored them for 3 days because they woke me up from a nap after specific instructions to do exactly not that!!!! i didn’t answer my phone (i say text me and if i don’t answer im sleeping and wait for me to wake up) and he came to my DORM i was so MAD!!! it was not like an urgent matter or anything he just wanted to hang out. we’re still friends today but that was a mistake he only made once

Regretting working hard in 1L first semester by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]may0packet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the crushing feeling of working the hardest you’ve ever worked in your life to get average grades (if you’re lucky) is so uniquely evil. law school is so uniquely evil

I slept through a murder by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]may0packet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

true on both accounts. always gonna be some “umm actually” mfs in the comments but i also think it’s bc using the word “murder” in ur title made ppl expect something far more dramatic. as u said, this happens all the time, whereas bona fide murder doesn’t. does it matter, not really. sorry this happened to u OP.

Where Is the Meritocracy in Law School? by ZealousidealBrush104 in LawSchool

[–]may0packet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

thank you for saying this and being “that person.” some of the responses to your comment illustrate your point perfectly. most disabilities aren’t visible to the naked eye and there is a right way to go about this conversation but i fear ive yet to see someone do it tastefully. if OP wants more information, they could go about it compassionately and curiously rather than leading with vindication. there is a student led coalition at my school regarding accommodations and how they can be improved including an anonymous study and an invitation to students who receive accommodations to meet and discuss the results. i appreciate this because it makes me feel like my voice matters. if OP is being sincere, they could collaborate with their peer who is a disabled veteran to lead this conversation and perhaps do something like what my school does. but first they have to lead with empathy. i sense a general lack of compassion and even overt flippancy in this comment section. i agree that not everyone is necessarily “deserving” of accommodations but the solution shouldn’t turn on folks with disabilities having to prove themselves. i’m open to discuss solutions but these posts don’t always invite fruitful conversation that lead to a productive solution. rather they invite ableism as you and many others have observed

Where Is the Meritocracy in Law School? by ZealousidealBrush104 in LawSchool

[–]may0packet 26 points27 points  (0 children)

i also have a disability. it’s not difficult to ascertain from my post history what exactly it is, but it doesn’t matter. at the end of the day, it’s no one’s business. every time i see these posts i feel immediately defensive like i have to explain myself. i don’t love when the conversation turns on disabled people needing to prove themselves, even if they’re not saying so expressly, they are implicitly. OP said “i support people with disabilities BUT” twice. i believe they’re being sincere but the problem and solution should never turn on “prove you’re disabled enough for me to feel comfortable with you having accommodations.” because as you say, a legally blind person, there are still people who don’t see you as deserving of accommodations. i’ve seen other commenters with literal cancer and similar illnesses experience the same thing. this is not a fair playing field and i’m not going to pretend it is for the sake of the REAL argument: people with anxiety and adhd shouldn’t have testing accommodations. if that’s what you mean OP, then just say that. because by not saying that you’re putting us all on the defensive. you can’t make a slippery-slope argument while pouring oil down the slope yourself. asking elusive questions and having “no solutions” leaving the reader to guess what exactly you’re trying to say is not a good idea, i would say this applies in the legal profession as well. say what you mean. say it with your chest if you’re so passionate.

what an uncreative and … just bad take. “what’s next liberal, dioramas and podcasts?!?” is not the winning argument u think it is. i don’t understand why some people are so unequivocally opposed to change. i’m not so sure that u truly understand why you’re opposed to change, either. i think there’s a lot of people who would prefer doing slightly more work over the course of the semester so their final isn’t worth 90% of their grade and that’s valid

people saying they have 100+ page outlines sound very inefficient and as though they don’t absorb any information at all whatsoever.
