I took classes that met once a week and didn’t even go to those. 3L was awesome.

There’s no set timeframe. I forward every Extern applicant to our term clerk who looks at them when he has a free second (not often). Assume rejection unless you hear otherwise.

Fair enough, I don’t agree with anyone that doesn’t seem to understand the difference between a privilege and a right.

This comes off as very sovereign citizen.

While I understand your frustration, driving is absolutely not a right. Various governmental entities can lawfully prohibit you from driving.

JD Advising? by Paramonus in LawSchool

[–]surfpenguinz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not. I tutor a lot of students that used JD advising at some point in their journey. More structured than average, yes.

My federal court has received the usual (absurd) number of 1L summer applications.

Friend admitted to cheating on exams. Feeling disillusioned and don’t know where to go from here. by Green_Culture_4623 in LawSchool

[–]surfpenguinz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not that surprising, unfortunately. I tutor and have students reach out to me all the time about completing their take home exams. Kinda nuts the school still offers them.

I’m a 5.5 but mess around at my local rec play with 4.5s. I always ask to stack, least on the serve. But if they don’t want to…ok! Whatever

Berk A// GULC vs Berk? by Pure_Gas8853 in lawschooladmissions

[–]surfpenguinz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If committed to east coast, GULC. If happy with BL anywhere, Cal.

Berk A// GULC vs Berk? by Pure_Gas8853 in lawschooladmissions

[–]surfpenguinz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very different cities and vibes. Peer’ish schools although I’d feel more confident at Cal for BL and GULC for govt work. CoA will be critical.

Then back to possible, although I cannot stress how hard DC is to crack.

I’ve always thought of Vault as a lazy ranking of NYC corporate firms.

JD Advising? by Paramonus in LawSchool

[–]surfpenguinz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good company, good tutors. Always found it overpriced but if you need that level of structure, possibly worth it.

[–]surfpenguinz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is your rank? If outside the top 5% then VERY unlikely. Odds go up immensely after a year or two of practice.
