He also sounds like Bob Barker when he lectures which makes him immensely popular among the students, which in turn makes him completely full of himself thus the smug. I would love to do a follow up with all the people in that video just to see if their stories have changed at all. Harry Ellis fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Nov 3, 2010 |

BigHead posted:My brother in law did exactly this (PhD in pharmasomething from ivy league). His PhD actually made him a very desirable candidate, and from what I understand a PhD in a hard science is pretty much the only thing besides LSAT/GPA/URM that makes you desirable to law schools. With his high GPA/LSAT he was actively courted by every law school and got a free ride to a T10. Biotech type of PhD here. Applied to ~18 schools and got in where my LSAT/GPA predicted. If anything, I'd say a PhD blows the door open if your LSAT/GPA gets your foot in the door. It won't get you in where your numbers wouldn't.

BigHead posted:I actually applied to be an FBI special agent. FBI special agents hire from, um, 8ish fields. These fields are: military, computer forensics, computer science, language (Chinese/Arabic/etc only pls), law enforcement, hard science graduate degrees, something else, and the law. When I applied, I got accepted through the first round. In my letter of acceptance, they said, and I quote, "We have received an unprecedented amount of law and computer science applicants, and as such we will not be evaluating them this hiring round beyond the first round. If you choose to continue though the first round with only these specialties, then please be prepared to not advance." If someone who's been doing it that long can't get in with legal credentials alone, your fresh out of law school rear end ain't going nowhere.

Tetrix posted:Not a CLS person, but if Foundations of the Regulatory State is just a fancy name for Admin Law, I'd take that. If you want to work for a federal agency or department it will be a good selling point in interviews and cover letters. Agreed. Plus Strauss is my favorite professor who reminds me of Dr. Robotnik.

Petey posted:Did you go? What is your sense of where it is going? No didn't go, I'm sorta on the other side of the country. I found it on Kotaku. Also re: 1L electives: Legislation is a pretty cool class IMO. EDIT: I did read it though. My sense, this is with Con Law 1 and Legislation under my belt, is that there's a genuine overbreadth problem that the court hinted at a couple of times. I believe both Kagen and Scalia brought it up. "Deviant violence" as the statute is written sounds goofy to me and it sounded goofy to the justices. There was a lot of talk on the petitioner's side about a jury being capable of figuring out what that was but it's a flimsy argument at best that Scalia correctly points to as flawed for the purposes of this trial here. Petitioner didn't make himself friends with Sotomayor either when he basically had to concede everything about labeling these games (he didn't brief the issue at all but still got asked about it). The state makes no effort in distinguishing between a 17 year old buying these games and a five year old, which they think is fair, and only Roberts and sort of Alito seemed to indicate they'd hear that argument out. Combined with a fairly long list of similar cases at the lower level that didn't work, you have a recipe for an affirmance. Carving exceptions to speech is something the court isn't big fans of and I don't think they'll be a big enough fan of this. sigmachiev fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Nov 3, 2010 |

Kase Im Licht posted:Can pretty much guarantee its 100% illegal. You should use those lawyering skills and see if there are any statutory damages or try and organize a class action or something. Some states have really harsh punishments for inappropriately paying employees as a 1099. Although while I remember harsh punishments I don't remember much in the way of harsh payments to broke lawyers who were getting 1099ed illegally. Yes, find a job and immediately sue the people who sign your checks. In 2 years you'll have mad toilet paper money yo!

Here are the options: Hemphill is really good, as well as being one of the professors who is good at getting people he likes clerkships (the other is Richmond who apparently helped almost everyone who got a clerkship) apparently. No idea what any of the other classes are like though, I took the IP one and liked it.
