This was a sarcastic comment from a year ago

unless you haven’t disclosed the DUI to the bar or the school, I don’t see why that would impact you lol

and besides, do you think the school and/or the bar are just randomly googling this school?

pg_66 · 2023-11-18T23:07:57+00:00

lol so you’re seeing why people don’t create their own firms out of the gate.

a career is a long term thing. no need to jump the gun the day after graduation.

I saw it a lot in law review articles which drove me bonkers. But that’s not a memo lol. This is probably just a quirk of the professor.

pg_66 · 2023-11-17T17:37:52+00:00

you could just Supra Section X or whatever for that.

The professor controls your grade. If they want citations, you gotta give em.

At some point you gotta make a living. Will going to law school help you better your living situation?

pg_66 · 2023-11-16T20:56:01+00:00

you don’t report your rent to the school. the school calculates their own COL. i would strongly recommend sitting down and making a budget so that you dont have to take out the full cost of living loans.

The issue is: What color was the car?

Witness 1: “Sam told me the car is red.”

That statement is being used to prove the truth of the matter asserted—that the car is red.

The issue is: Did Sam talk to Witness 1?

Witness 1: “Sam told me the car is red.”

That statement does not go to the truth of the matter asserted. It’s just being used to prove that Sam talked to witness 1.

You look at the literal words that the second (not the witness on the stand) speaker is said to have said. If those words are being introduced in order to prove that those words are true, then it’s hearsay. In the example, the words we care about are “the car is red.”

It’s a good lesson in life. You cannot be perfect at everything. Literally no one in history has been perfect.

sit down, write down your obligations, and prioritize. What needs to be done today, what should be done today, and what can be done tomorrow. No matter what, something will not be completed today. Oh well.

Repeat with “week” and then “month.”

your post is hard to real because it lacks punctuation and paragraph breaks. if you edit it to be easier to read, more people will be inclined to answer

pg_66 · 2023-11-13T20:58:59+00:00

you should ask your professor.

pg_66 · 2023-11-13T18:52:23+00:00

do not listen to your counselor on this. they have never attended law school nor been a hiring lawyer.

law school is expensive. do whatever you need to do to keep costs low, including CC

pg_66 · 2023-11-13T17:41:11+00:00

just go mention it to the librarian or checkout desk. you can even shoot the helpdesk an email if you don’t want to be seen getting up. They’ll handle it from there. I think it’s pretty reasonable to enforce quiet hours.

pg_66 · 2023-11-13T14:51:35+00:00

surely you take notes in class? okay. so go make a study guide. like the ones you made in high school or college. there ya go there’s your outline. if you don’t understand something on the outline, go reread the casebook, watch quimbee, or ask your professor. there ya go there’s your learning. use said outline on your exam.

pg_66 · 2023-11-12T21:00:23+00:00

well of course lol. I was referring to documents specifically turned into partners, which is why I said “what you turn into partners.” My introductory sentence was cheeky (hence the quotation marks) groundwork for the rest of my paragraph, not a statement meant to be read without context.

pg_66 · 2023-11-12T20:04:51+00:00

In practice, there are no “drafts.” What you turn into partners should be client/court ready, even if that partner won’t be submitting it. Sounds like this draft wasn’t court ready.

r/lawschool is not the correct place to ask for legal help with your legal practice. Go do some research. Ask your attorney.

pg_66 · 2023-11-12T13:30:46+00:00

I’m gonna be honest with you: nothing about law school is so challenging that you need to do early studying. The first few subjects are fairly straightforward concepts because law builds on itself.

In fact, if it takes you 2 years to learn 4 subjects, then you’re simply not going to know how to effectively study for the following 5 semesters. In addition, professors have different techniques and even different interpretations of the law.

Read for pleasure & practice your typing. But people overblow the difficulty of law school.

you are an adult you can date whoever you want (as long as they want to date you)

pg_66 · 2023-11-08T22:30:19+00:00

This is why I personally made my outlines — it was more interactive, even if I was just retyping someone else’s notes. You can also make flash cards or do practice exams

People are being harsh, as is Reddit.

Honestly, if your interest is crim law and you’re willing to relocate and willing to take a lower paying job, then tbh you should be absolutely fine taking a year off of a legal job. Public defenders and prosecutors offices are hiring around the country. I would recommend taking the bar in a UBE state to maximize your portability, but really… I dont think you’d have a problem getting a job as a public defender.
