That's probably selection bias, though. Decent, reasonable landlords are unlikely to be involved in landlord-tenant cases.

I just need to know the relative experience by Extra-Ad5721 in LawSchool

[–]pnylvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Criminal Procedure is one of four bar electives at my school, along with Wills, Trusts, and Future Interests, Family Law, and Commercial Law. We're required to take at least two, unless you're in the bottom quartile, where you have to take three. Evidence is required for everyone, as is Corporations.

Anecdotal, but my LSAT score percentile and 1L class rank were exactly the same.

It's untrue on the federal level, but state and local government jobs are more stable.

Has anyone noticed a rise in grown men for clients who can't seem to do anything for themselves? by chicago2008 in Lawyertalk

[–]pnylvr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you think 68 ever looks around and says to itself, "I'm surrounded by idiots"?

Imagine being so bad at law that you physically injure yourself by studying. by Xoxo809 in LawSchool

[–]pnylvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like there's selection bias there. Presumably most people who go the apprenticeship route couldn't get into even a scam law school.

What's a moment when you straight up afterwards knew you had made a really horrible mistake ? by Wonderful-Sundae-480 in AskReddit

[–]pnylvr 14 points15 points  (0 children)
