The Wise Teen posted:Sorry, maybe I'm missing something here, but I thought it was still pretty hard to get a job in JAG? Are you saying everyone who applies and passes the bar is accepted? No, the two are separate. First, you apply to, and get accepted into the JAG program. After you finish law school, you take the bar. If you pass it in two tries, you go into the military as a JAG. I don't know how the Army, Navy or Air Force handles it if you fail twice; since you signed up to be a lawywer that happens to wear a uniform, I expect they'd let you drop the program. In the Marines, you sign up to be a Marine who happens to do (mostly) law; if you fail twice, you start off like every other officer (except for JAs and pilots) and pick/get assigned your occupational specialty during TBS. (Or you could ask to be let out) 5'11", 150# is not an impediment at all (136# is the Marines' minimum weight for 5'11") RAdm. "Jay" R.

A lot of law students go there for exercise since it's near the most popular apartment complex. People who mean business (and who like to sneak stares at hot women) go to AFC, though.

Lykourgos posted:I was more thinking, you could re-enroll for a semester to avoid the very real possibility of death, or at least some debiliating disease or irreversible situation. You said you had some unhealing wound and something about your diet being terrible and that you were homeless. You probably aren't mentally impaired, so a semester or more of stability would be worth the debt imo. As for your morals or whatever, you haven't said anything about that before so I don't know what you believe constitutes right and wrong. If you used that semester to get a menial job, then you could pay off that sliver of debt if it's such a burden on your soul. I've certainly spent a lot of time thinking about this but, while superficially tempting, the problem is in the assumption that even a single semester of Cost of Living loans would be something easily paid off. With a full-time, salaried job? Sure, probably. But between my made-for-law-school Liberal Arts degree and a good 10 months now of constant job-seeking, the best work I've been able to get is part-time warehouse labor which, let me assure you, hardly allows me to buy food, let alone pay off loans. For someone with a full-time job, I can see how a semester of living might constitute only a "sliver" of debt; but given my prospects in this job market? And believe me: every minute I spend hauling crates and surreptitiously wincing in pain as my scar tissue is perpetually stretched and torn is a minute that I spend thinking about ways to get out of that situation.

Today in Professional Responsibilities, someone insisted that the code of professional ethics was actually a hindrance to society because it prevents lawyers from breaking the law. His evidence was first that "civil rights used to be illegal so if lawyers cared about laws African Americans wouldn't be able to vote right now." His final trump card after the instructor disagreed was that "if lawyers actually had to follow the law, we'd have never revolted against the British Empire and THERE WOULD BE NO AMERICA." 0Ls: these are your classmates.

There was a loving article about that (on Rule 11) I think that the UCLA Law Review published. gently caress legal "scholarship."

I'm just popping in to say that I'm a longtime LawThread lurker (haven't posted in almost a year), but I got an offer from my summer position today. If there's any possible way for the 4th year of evening program to feel like it's more pointless and dragging than it is right now, I don't know it. For all the 0/1Ls: I'm a T2 student with solid but not spectacular scores, getting a well-paying job in exactly the field I wanted from the beginning. I'm super-excited, but I still wouldn't do it all over again. Just because I won the lottery doesn't mean I'd recommend blowing all your cash on scratch-offs.

Tomorrow is when I'm suppose to hear back from Callback #1 so hopefully we can keep the good news a'comin. I'd also like to point out that here at TTT Dentistry School we don't have a moon bounce, but what we do have is a random week off next week where we were suppose to schedule callbacks. I've scheduled myself a girl who calls herself Midnight.

Unamuno posted:I'm a little late to respond, but I had the legend himself, Jody Kraus, for Contracts 1L year. Awesome, engaging lecturer. I got extremely lucky with my coldcall, as it was about theory/policy/hypothetical questions with fairly straightforward answers instead of the minute details of whatever case we were on. He does a great job guiding people to the "right" answers during coldcalls, and has absolutely no patience for gunners wasting time in his class. Thanks, that's really helpful. I haven't gotten coldcalled yet but a friend of mine had a pretty rough time today when he got called on. Do you still have your notes from 1L? Also, I don't think that the Columbia gym is that bad but it makes me mad that the crew team gets so much space to itself.

The best part of the article is the admission that big firm lawyers are looking for jobs in the same place you can find work cleaning someone's house naked and peeing on them.

On the other hand, the douchey machine sign-up policy can really gently caress with your day. Attractive undergrads are a decent reason to study in Butler or Avery instead of the godforsaken law library, though. Edit: Also James Franco no longer studies in Butler 209 so that room is no longer packed with giggling tweens.
