Hey, they're perfectly fine for cutting into triangles, deep frying, and coating with coarse salt and a spray of lime juice.

I went for tacos for lunch today too at a pollos asados al carbon place. I had to pull the meat off the drat bird myself but the tortillas were homemade, came with a basket of chips made of the same tortillas deep fried and rice, beans, and four different types of salsa including a don(put the drat tilde over this yourself)a sauce and a drink.

$6.50 and I still think i was overcharged.

Are there any readily available resources of hypos with excellent answers I could mine?


Additionally, which one has better rewards: Lexis or Westlaw? I recall discussion from a while ago but being awesome and not in law school at the time I didn't really care what was going on outside of tacochats.

Lexis is better, but I find that West (at least at my school) gives much more options to get points.

I think Lexis has a lot more online stuff you can do to get points, and MUCH better actual rewards (gift cards and such). At my school Lexis also has a lot more trainings and things, so I think it just depends on the reps.

The best tip I figured out is to set up an alert on both Westlaw and Lexis to Shepardize/KeyCite some case every day, and e-mail yourself the result... you'll then automatically get the daily points for doing a search (often double points for Shepardizing/KeyCiting). I have a filter set up so the e-mails automatically get deleted every morning and I never have to see them, but I still get the points.

Employing a system similar to this, I bought two pair of shoes and four video games during law school.

Literally the only positive from going to law school is the free Westlaw/Lexis points.

Rural Alaskan Clerking Update:

This bitch somehow managed to steal $800k in student loans. The kicker is that she's not a law student but some sort of stupid Oriental Studies PhD. She's also a Rhodes Scholar.

While reviewing the case (it was in front of some other judge, so I'm speaking as a dispassionate public observer), I was thinking "That's not THAT much in student loans, I bet her education cost that much if she got $800k in 10 years." I was wrong.

Yeah turns out it's literally criminal to take out $80k/yr in loans. How much did YOU take out for law school?

No, westlaw is better. At least for criminal law.
The only good thing about lexis in the real work is that it doesn't have a hard wall for parts you pay for. I can only search cal and fed law, but I can put in a cite from anywhere and get it. West won't let you do that.
Lexis is also slower.
(Really though, it is down to personal preference)

Both of mine were truly and utterly soul-crushed bald fat men. Which, if you're into horribly soul-crushed bald fat men, then my school's world is your oyster. But alas the bald fat men have since moved on :( .

By soul-crushed, I mean far beyond anything you can imagine. Our Lexis guy dragged his children into our training sessions and would go apeshit if they misbehaved, and you could tell he was just so, utterly, completely, lonely. His eyes were just so desolate and unhappy.

Our westlaw guy was just normal fat and bald I guess, which is still fairly soul-crushing.

Thanks. Will use library time today to set this up. Since I didn't really pay attention in the training session I will take my time with each and consider the hour I waste getting this set up not only well spent but incredibly productive.
