I don't pay tuition so this is strictly loans for CoL. Law school in Uppsala only has one final per semester, rather than one final for torts and one for IP and so on. As a result, there's a need to be able to postpone doing the final (if, say, you feel you could get better grades doing so) and still be able to continue with the next semesters. It's just that it's the only school in Sweden that functions in that way, which obviously causes problems. It'll all be cleared up with a phonecall, but... :shobon:

Employment statistics are not taken into serious consideration, Calderón adds, because his board is not supplied with raw data.

"Perhaps we should," he says. "But the question is, where do we get it and can we trust who's giving it to us?"

Says Arizona State's Berman, "I think that law school remains a great investment because of the kinds of analytical skills law school teaches—whether you end up practicing at a law firm, or going into business, or going into government."

While waiting for the bus ride home today I ran into an old family friend. He asked what I was up to and I told him law school, where I was going, where I was working for the summer etc. I noticed out of the corner of my eye a girl standing a couple of people down suddenly perk up when I mentioned law school. On the bus she sat next to me and proceeded to take out a Brooklyn Law brochure. I pretended not to notice. I knew what she was trying to do but I just didn't have the heart to play along, ask her if shes applying, suggest that she think about it a little longer/harder (she was clearly younger than me), or tell her that I heard they had a total of ten firms for OCI last year. Does this make me a bad person?

Proctors are guardians of the sanctity and integrity of legal education, therefore they are responsible for the nourishment of the soul.
So today my judge receives a motion for reconsideration in the case of Someguy v Jerk Co..

quote:

Defendant's Motion for Reconsideration
Now comes the Plaintiff, Someguy, by and through his attorneys...

If that were the only time P's attorney had substituted "Defendant" where she meant "Plaintiff," it would have been bad enough, but I'd be a little more sympathetic.

Sadly, that wasn't the case.

There hasn't been as much bar anguish this year as in the past few years. Does that reflect fewer people taking the bar, or that the bar doesn't matter when there are no jobs for people who pass it?

I thought fixing this student loan hiccup would be easy. Instead I have to call five different people, talk to my school, and have a bunch of retarded drivel bounced at me like "maybe you could ask your school to schedule an exam just for you on short notice?" and then, after two days, finally I arrive at a person who goes "The only problem was that the people you talked to earlier were dumb/ignorant. Here, let me just press this magic button that'll deposit the money straight into your account."


All this trouble and stress over a measly technicality that by rights everyone at the student loan office SHOULD have been aware of (its right there in their internal manual). I can't even avoid the stress of law school over the goddamn summer.
