Part of me wonders if I just worried about getting laid in high school instead of math competitions/programming, if I'd still have ended up in the same place in life. I hope the answer is no.

MechaFrogzilla posted:I'm honestly pretty neutral toward Morningside. I like the space, and the fact that it's a little quieter than down town (I live on Morningside Park). Also, I'm pretty close to the 125th St. ABCD station, which means I can get anywhere in the city pretty drat quickly. I heard the Columbia gym is tied for shittiest gym in the country. Are there places nearby to work out with solid equipment? (a squat rack, for instance)

If you live south of campus and absolutely have to use something else, there is a New York Sports Club on 94th Street and Broadway that shouldn't be too tough to get to.

Sorry, but 16 year old fat neckbeards who smoke pot their mother's basement while playing DnD and fantasizing about owning people in passionate debates after graduating law school do not (contrary to popular belief) have any chance at getting laid.

Petey posted:That's true. But so was I (which was part of the reason I was so desperate in this thread in version #9 or so). Very rarely does a day go by when I do not thank cthulhu that I did not go to Cardozo. This thread probably saved my life (for I would have taken it). Uh, I'm pretty sure you still have to pay for rent and food even if you don't go to law school, you're making the same mistake (in the opposite direction) as people who don't count lost wages as part of the cost of extra education.

Feces Starship posted:I agree with Defleshed. Debt load is a major part of the concern you should have when thinking about law school. So you have a summer job, some undergrad debt still unpaid, and you're paying 2/3ds of your tuition yourself? Yeah, your debt situation really isn't that good, I wouldn't start feeling like the gods were really favoring you or anything. If you don't land that job, you're in 66% of the poo poo that the worst-situated law student is in.

That's awful - Stuart Brotman, if it's the same guy from https://www.brotman.com graduated from Boalt in 1978. Mike Jung is probably P. Michael Jung from http://www.strasburger.com/bios/attorney_bios.asp?atty=537 (I'm assuming they are the same guy because P. Michael Jung went to MIT). He got his JD from Harvard in 1979. Katherine Franco appears to have worked for Osha Liang in Texas, after graduating from University of Houston Law Center in 2009. She went to MIT prior. Of those three, only Ms. Franco is going to have any idea what the current employment situation is like. And she no longer appears on Osha Liang's website, so who knows if she is still employed. (According to her LinkedIn, she lists her position at Osha Liang from 2008 until January 2011, so maybe she still works there?) What's the average graduating GPA of MIT students? I would think that MIT students are really good at the LSAT though, or at least better than the average college student.

entris posted:What's the average graduating GPA of MIT students? The GPA is on a 5.0 system, and there is a very, very little inflation (probably safer to say there IS deflation). That said, I've been told that MIT students generally get some slack on the GPA when it comes to grad admissions, more so than would usually be the case, because people want MIT grads at their schools. And yeah, there doesn't tend to be much of a problem with the LSATs, either, given the quantitative and puzzle-based culture. In terms of generalizing across alma maters, MIT grads are probably comparatively better off when applying to law school than grads of most schools. They'll get in to better programs both because of their actual intelligence and the brand, and they have the science background for stuff like patent law coming out. That said, it still pisses me off that a) as someone identified, these MIT graduates went to law school ages ago, and b) kids with MIT educations are looking at law school rather than actually using their world-class engineering/science degrees to make the world a better place (the same can be said for MIT grads who become day traders). Incidentally, I mentioned this to the friend of mine in MIT administration who sent me this, and he said that whenever they have an open position they get tons of ex-lawyers applying for comparatively menial higher ed admin, so lol.

So I was attending a football game this season, watching the Idaho Vandals win or lose against some WAC team not worth remembering, when a fellow law student bounces an idea off of me: Should I sue the school? He tells me his story and I think he has a chance, so I say, "gently caress it, go for it." Well lo and behold: Above the Law posted:According Idaho Law 2L Aaron Tribble, his right to have a firearm in his dorm room trumps his classmates’ rights to not have to live on campus with potentially crazy gunmen in legal possession of weapons. Tribble has filed suit against the University of Idaho over its policy that bans guns on campus. I figured there's at least enough ambiguity as to whether him having to keep his gun off of campus is a reasonable restriction or not. Kind of wild to see him go through with it.

I don't have the opinion near me, but didn't SCOTUS say, in either Heller or MacDonald, something like "this doesn't mean there can't be reasonable restrictions that keep guns out of sensitive places like federal buildings and universities?"

Yeah, that's right. That's also all they said. That's why I think he has something to at least argue. It's a typically broad statement made by the SCOTUS that the lower courts get to parse out.
