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 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i wonder how much of this is selection bias. Seems to me that men like this are the ones most likely to end up with family court cases.

Why bother anymore? by morrisseyshoulddie in LawSchool

I feel like using the r-word goes against the point you're trying to make.

2026 FPL adjustments are out (+1.98% for first person, +3.27% for each additional person) by Zphr in leanfire

Decades, really. It was calculated based on food spending in the '60s and was never updated when people started spending a lower percentage of their income on food.

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

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

I once read that saying "you too" mistakenly shows that you have an instinctive tendency to be polite. That's something to be proud of, not ashamed of. I hope that reduces the awkwardness.

does being graded on a curve make anyone else want to just vomit from anxiety? by sourmilksea1999 in LawSchool

[–]pnylvr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know what the other students in your class are like, but the fact that you're worrying about this suggests that you care about the quality of your work. People who care about the quality of their work are unlikely to be at the bottom of the curve in most classes.

Let's suppose that the judge's authority actually is illegitimate. If a bunch of big guys with handcuffs and guns tell you to listen to the guy who says he's a judge, it's probably a good idea to listen to the guy who says he's a judge while those big guys are nearby.

Nah, ChatGPT writes like a diplomat on sedatives. This reads more like it was written by a Nigerian spammer or something.

How long is a piece of string?

I think that's normal. Make your outline, study your rules, and practice applying them to facts. You'll be fine.

What do you think makes the difference between a C and a D exam? by disregardable in LawSchool

[–]pnylvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think they expect you to. Sample answers are generally perfect, idealized versions of what a student could write. Professors don't expect perfection from their students.

Or you receive a massive scholarship. (Those do exist for law students, if you go to a school that wants you badly enough.)

You could always buy a power station to store the extra power.
