scribe jones posted:can you talk about the interview process a lil bit? that's the next step for me (already did the assessment for both TCO and RA), and I have no idea what to expect. just standard behavioral "tell me about a time when you" bullshit? Ha, nothing like that. If you don't have the required 6 or 12 accounting credit hours, you start with an accounting test. I had to take this, and you can learn everything you need in one night reading an accounting 100 study guide. That is graded immediately, and if you pass you then have a panel interview, either in person or by phone. There's some intro talk, like why you're interested in the position, where you want to live, etc. For the TCO position you are then asked a series of 8 standard questions, which involve some basic accounting questions, some computations, and some customer service. It's a joke and pathetically easy to pass. I was never interviewed for an RA position, so I can't comment on that one, but I imagine it's not much different. After that, you sit and wait for your conditional offer.

The best you'll usually find are surveys run by each school's CSO, but even then you'll get like a 40% no-reply rate. CmdrSmirnoff posted:edit: Hey Sib, sucks about the rejection from Osgoode. If it makes you feel better, they just moved to a holistic system and the admission chances have become completely random. Also the school sucks right now because the entire building is locked down and under construction. Even our library was packed away into boxes, though some materials were moved onto stacks in the basement of a nursing building I'm actually pretty excited about moving to Halifax (though I would prefer to be going with my girlfriend), I loved the city when we went to visit. And I actually got to talk to the recruiter at FMC and she said that the two schools are pretty much seen as the same quality education-wise, but the atmosphere at Dal was likely to be a lot more supportive. I don't really foresee anyway I won't be going, so if the OP wants to include me as a 0L, feel free.

Omerta posted:I'm going to Emory next year. I've thought about it for months and I can't think of anything I would want to do more even with poo poo the way it is right now. I finished finals yesterday and I'm reading Lubet's trial techniques for fun (again). Where are you from? I grew up in Atlanta and I'm working in the city this summer. Also, I just finished my paper for my Military Justice class. It was on PMC contractor liability under the UCMJ. I got antsy toward the end and decided to write a fun paragraph. Try to spot all the game references. HR's Paper posted:The great expansion in the market of civilian contractors in the last two decades will have a lasting impact on the future of war fighting. Although with the drawdown of U.S. troops in Iraq there is a corresponding drawdown of contractors, the issue of contractor liability will not disappear. Iraq is an example of modern warfare. Some groups have asserted that, although weapons evolve, war never changes. Though there is some truth to that, it is not entirely accurate. In reality, war has changed. The traditional meaning of “Total War” has faded away. No longer are we threatened with total annihilation from a rival superpower, but rather the primary threat the U.S. faces is non-state actors, small radical forces, quite possibly an army of two, and that threat required a change of strategy and tactics. America’s Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines have adapted and modified their operating methods to become more efficient and mobile powers while maintaining the capability to project force on a global scale. These changes have been in part possible through the employment of soldiers of fortune. However, with the dawn of this new war and the employment of private contractors, the legal framework that governs war fighting must adapt.

billion dollar bitch posted:New thread! Technically no. What happens though is for a conspiracy you need an agreement, and for an agreement (assuming it's face to face), at some point you are gong to be soliciting the crime. So you can conceptualize it to trickle down to solicitation to get 2.06 to trigger. If you want my crim outline it is huge and totally MPC based. Here's a sample hypo to illustrate the whole conspiracy/complicity thing. P and D agree that P will rob bank X. D does nothing else. P decides to rob bank Y, which is more heavily guarded. In the course of the robbery he kills a bank guard who tries to stop him, and in driving away at high speed he accidentally kills a pedestrian. P is charged with robbery, murder, and negligent homicide. Is D an accomplice in any of these crimes? Under the MPC? In a jurisdiction that follows the Pinkerton rule regarding conspiracy and complicity (see previous chapter)? 1. Assume that P does rob Bank X. What result? -What makes D an accomplice here? The agreement needs to have a solicitation. Merely being in a conspiracy does NOT make you an accomplice under the MPC; conspiracy is actually NOT mentioned in this part of the MPC -Not generally a problem with these situations though (every time there is a face to face conspiracy where parties deal with one another, you will be able to infer encouragement even from a passive conspirator). 2. Difference between MPC and Pinkerton: - Pinkerton makes you an accomplice by virtue of being in a conspiracy. MPC does NOT do this, gotta aid, try to aid, encourage, etc. etc. 3. What is the significance of the change of venue of the robbery? -This is another problem with all of the forward oriented crimes. There are differences that may be either material or immaterial (what time vs. how heavily guarded is the bank). There is nothing in the MPC that tells us how to draw the distinctions. You must have the purpose to promote or facilitate the crime but we don’t know how specific you need to be. There is no clear line whether the difference of banks is in or outside the scope of the crime that D had the purpose to promote. -Case law hasn’t helped the analysis much; the actus reas can differ in some detail then what the accomplice is imagining when they began to aid. 4. Assume that D is complicit in the robbery of bank Y. What about the murder? -Many states treat killings in the course of robberies as felony murders. If the state had a felony murder statute that called this murder, P would be called a felony murder even if it were accidental. D would be guilty of accomplice of felony murder because of §2.06(4)., provided the felony murder statute is a strict liability. If D was P’s accomplice in the robbery, he would be an accomplice in the murder. - Could also be guilty here if he has a conditional purpose: “rob the bank and if necessary, kill guards to do it right.” 5.If we decide that the identity of the banks are important, what could we still charge D with? -Conspiracy to rob, solicitation of robbery, and attempted robbery through 5.01(3). He did all these crimes with respect to Bank X. sigmachiev fucked around with this message at 04:25 on May 7, 2010 |

Ainsley McTree posted:The MPC's stance on rape is the best. It's not illegal to rape your wife, it's not illegal to rape a man, and it's not illegal for women to rape anyone Well, that's the traditional common law approach, which is absurdly narrow. Has to involve penetration and nothing except the penis counts. Has to be by a man, on a woman not his wife. Has to involve force, so she has to fight back or it doesn't count. As an interesting bit of historical trivia, Thomas Aquinus argued that masturbation was worse than rape, because at least rape involved the chance of procreation. Glad we have our priorities straight, there, Tom.

"Ainsley McTree, April 19, 2007" posted:I've got kind of a strange (possibly) question. I ctrl-f'd through the thread and didn't see any answers, but does a school with no grades hamper your opportunities after graduation at all? I'm a 1L at Northeastern, we have no grades here, just "evaluations". They're basically grades without the numbers; there are buzzwords that correspond to a letter grade, an excellent is an A, a very good is a B+, etc, but the point is, I think, that you can't be ranked into percentiles. I don't know how many other schools do this; apparently Yale does too, I did not know this until I read the thread, but then again, Northeastern isn't Yale. lawl Those old megathreads are awesome.
