Adar posted:When I did BarBri, I wrote out the first sample essay they had everyone do, got my low score back, decided it was bullshit and just focused on the multiple choice from that point on. I would have been borderline without the book, but just doing all of the MC in the sections you're weakest in should be enough to pass with a solid margin, as long as you are a good test taker and follow IRAC/make the rule up as appropriate for partial credit during the essays. Nah you're still right, the Con Law section is New York Times-able. I haven't read the constitution yet and I managed to pass it on the barbri sample multi-state sections. Property and some of the commercial stuff is terrible, though. It's not difficult, but it is so boring and the questions seem to be longer; it's just generally painful to have to do it. Serious, mental anguish at having to touch this poo poo; I'm surpised bar exams aren't considered cruel and unusual punishment. Still disgusted I have to touch this turd of an exam after slogging through three years of their accredited horseshit education

BigHead posted:Chiropractors aren't doctors dude. I've never met a chiropractor that has killed someone? The medical profession is like any job, some people will go into it for altruistic reasons, but a significant number will be money grubbing assholes. Unethical/lazy/incompetent lawyers are also a huge problem which has rightfully tarnished our profession. I just find it hypocritical that doctors receive much more public respect despite the massive rates of medical error resulting in death (~195,000 a year http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/11856.php) Of course, there's also the fact that doctors are so cozily in bed with the pharmaceutical/insurance industry that health care coverage for the average American is a tragicomic third world affair. Again, I recognize that many doctors are hardworking caring people. I just don't give doctors the benefit of the doubt.

This thread is not for legal advice. If you want legal advice, the best thing to do is to contact a lawyer who is licensed to practice where you live or where your problem is. Lawyers can get into a lot of trouble for giving out "free" advice, so don't ask the law goons to do that! If you still really have to ask,

errr, whoops. Posting in the right thread.

So I'm fixing to head to Emory Law in the fall, and I've got a question about law school student cultures in general. I'm sort of concerned that I'm going to be stuck hanging out around a bunch of stuck-up, WASPy, lame people - the kind that I generally tried to avoid during undergrad. Does anybody here go to Emory that wants to shed some light on the student culture there? Any body from any law school want to confirm that diverse student populations do exist? Edited so people would stop yelling at me on the internet and we can all get along.

You'll make friends if you can shake off your own judgmental/stuck up attitude and chip on your shoulder. Even people dressed in a polo shirt can be nice people, and if you're thinking a law firm may be in your future, you may even want to practice wearing one once in awhile.

I'm well aware that people of all manners of dress and musical preference can be good people and are potential friends. The serious part of my question dealt with the diversity at law schools because I am sort of worried that, especially at Emory, the environment will be more predominantly-WASPy than I am used to.

I'm sure Emory will have a Southern Conservative slant to it but you'll find married people, people who took a few years off, northeastern liberals, minorities etc... At UVA, I'd say drinking habits and what section you were in were the main players in who you were friends with. Things like whether they pop their collars or what music they listened to or whether they were a democrat or republican... all that didn't really matter too much.

Does anybody here go to Emory that wants to shed some light on the student culture there? Any body from any law school want to confirm that diverse student populations do exist? I really don't want to have to start listening to Dave Matthews Band and shopping at Hollister There's a lot of different types of people in law school and even in this thread. There are people who love law school culture and love the friends they've made. There are people who gravitate towards the immediate people and become "Friends" with them for three years. And there are people who hate law school, realize the whole thing is a bullshit exercise for 3 years and form tenuous friendships with people who are the same way. The key thing, the absolute loving key thing to remember is maintain some sort of a social life outside of law school. It's good to have law school friends. It's also loving important to have friends outside of law school. That way you won't tell people to shut the gently caress up when you want to hang out with someone when you're sick of school and they try to tell you how beautiful the law is.
