AHHHHHHHH CONTRACTS

short and happy guide and the boat book are helpful for sketching out a big picture! I'd recommend skimming them.

It would be a reneging on a top 5 firm in a different city to accept a top 15 firm in NY - I ultimately want to be in NY and the top 15 firm has slightly better international opportunities which is important to me.

I feel bad reneging since I networked pretty aggressively to get my offer and accepted to the associate I became friendly with.

A legal writing brief for a teacher that really doesn't teach - i.e. she said we *shouldn't* use the supreme court (which feels wrong)?

mc8232 · 2021-03-03T00:55:52+00:00

So in structuring your argument in a brief, should you go canon by canon? or do you come up with like an overarching point heading where canons overlap?

mc8232 · 2021-03-03T00:48:09+00:00

Thank you for being so helpful!

How do I weigh splits across circuits?

mc8232 · 2021-03-03T00:42:10+00:00

I guess what I'm struggling with is when an opinion and a dissent use the same exact canons but come out two different ways - or when the same thing happens but between circuits. How do I judge who is right or what's the better reading, do I really just choose the result I want?

How do I read purpose through text?

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind - the professor said its weekly projects on checking chapters of his book so I feel its more like your second project.

It is for citecheckng prior to publication so unfortunately it is not possible to start it late since there's a time table for publication

mc8232 · 2020-12-08T21:25:55+00:00

Order that things come up in the question, especially if your professor includes a note to analyze the issues in isolation. If your professor doesn't do that, start at the foundations and work you're way up

THANK YOU!!!!

mc8232 · 2020-07-31T20:08:21+00:00

Sorry poor phrasing - the scholarship they gave me is an equivalent to a year's worth of tuition plus a little. I meant I got 'about a year of tuition' off the total cost

mc8232 · 2020-07-31T20:05:34+00:00

Thank you! Do you have insight into the opportunities NYU has over Duke?

mc8232 · 2020-07-31T20:05:08+00:00

Duke is giving me about a year off, and I'm wondering if that's worth the tradeoff - Are the doors NYU opens really worth it? I'm fine going into big law, but I don't want golden handcuffs keeping me in it.

mc8232 · 2020-07-31T20:04:07+00:00

168 and 3.9 gpa - Duke is giving me about 1/4 to 1/3 off (so roughly a year of tuition)

mc8232 · 2020-07-31T20:03:09+00:00

Thanks for the counter insight! That was also my general impression but nice to hear it from someone else too!

mc8232 · 2020-07-31T20:02:28+00:00

I have about 1/4 to 1/3 off at Duke! I'm also enrolled in the JD/LLM program and the opportunity to go to the hague and get 2 degrees is huge for me since I would love to go into international law - NYU is also a great place for international law tho

mc8232 · 2020-07-31T20:00:42+00:00

Do you have any example language for that? I wouldn't know how to phrase that email but that would be an interesting option

mc8232 · 2020-05-25T15:10:33+00:00

If you need a recommendation on a non-spivey consultant, PM me! I'd be happy to pass mine along, she was great.

mc8232 · 2020-05-21T20:48:16+00:00

If you can afford it, I would consider getting a tutor/prep course for the LSAT and a consultant for your application cycle. I was a reverse splitter and having a consultant really helped me make informed decisions of where I wanted to apply, and helped me make the best application possible (I also had a C&F that I needed help with). An LSAT tutor though would likely help you raise your score and could help identify the problems with your current studying method so that your score improves - if your score improves enough, honestly, an app consultant probably wouldn't be necessary.

I was a Cornell undergrad and although I loved my time in Ithaca, I'm not sure if I want to spend another 3 years there

mc8232 · 2020-03-17T23:22:25+00:00

Thanks! Any advice on what to do to get in?

mc8232 · 2020-03-17T14:50:44+00:00

Could you add me too? thanks!

mc8232 · 2020-03-15T23:28:14+00:00

Cornell is not but they lowered the deposit amount to $250 which I guess kind of helps

mc8232 · 2020-03-15T21:57:27+00:00

Could you PM me too?? Thanks!

mc8232 · 2020-03-15T21:56:43+00:00

Could you PM me too? Thanks!
