I'm sad that I missed out on a judge straight up having a sovcit arrested yesterday once the standard mumbo jumbo started coming out of her mouth.

There's overlap with the right-wing nuts who claim Germany doesn't have a constitution and that the government is based on an illegitimate occupation after the war. Randler probably knows more than me about it.

I think the only thing I enjoy more than finding out about the other side not sending notice and then entering adverse orders, is when they state that I was there in said adverse order. This'll be fun to clear up.

I figured it was a common law thing because one of the cornerstones of sovcit thinking is that statutory law only applies to commercial transactions; ergo only the plain meaning of the Constitution applies to everything else. But that assumes the sovcit mindset has any logical basis. Emanuel Collective fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Dec 30, 2015 |

I hate when the appellant answers his phone but his attorney does not because I can't ask for default but I can't really go forward with the hearing so we end up continuing the matter and it's a statutory non-discretionary action anyway.

Like, if Biggus Dickus of Rome goes around saying only Republic law applies to him, he just asking to be proscripted.

Me talking to my buddy about study group girl, who I've made plans with for when she comes back: Him: "Just tell your wife that at one time she was study group girl." Me: "That's about the worst thing I can say" Him: "Good point." Note: I started dating my current wife while I was still married. I'm drunk and make bad decisions.

You go to study groups but still land in the middle of the curve and talk about yourself a lot. Just make every post going forward "I am a bog standard law student" and they'll have the same informational and entertainment content

Now you have to decide whether you're going to figure out how to improve and go for the long shot of a 2L OCI position by getting A's next semester, or if you want to coast and do exactly the same thing for the next two years and end up middle of the pack relying on your connections & networking to find a job.

I went to a T14 and I vividly remember that day I learned of my mediocre first semester grades. In hindsight, I should have dropped out of school then. I had a good scholarship to go and I would have been in the hole for only $10k. In hindsight that was a fair price for the life experience, for trying the whole law school thing for half a year and realizing (about 50% certainty) that the whole legal career rat race wasn't really for me. Luckily I'm now on a more lucrative career path, and more importantly, it's something I'm very passionate about. But I didn't really need to spend the additional $100K or whatever on tuition and living expenses, and forego the additional $100K or whatever in wages. If you have the balls to drop out now, five years down the road you will look like a genius amongst your current classmates. Dead serious. Almost all of my biglaw friends are jealous of me (many of whom are those insufferable freakshows that are getting straight A's in your 1L section). Most of them hate their jobs and are only in it to pay off their massive student loans. Whenever we hang out, "exit strategies" come up all the time which invariably is a choice between a massive step down in pay, taking a huge risk in a different market or going back to school. Depression is rampant and many can't hold together romantic relationships. This thread warned me about this very thing 6-7 years ago. Time sure does fly, and now I'm "that guy" imploring that you listen to my advice. I'm not posting this to say "look at me, I figured it out, I did it better". I made some great friends in law school and the whole experience definitely made me smarter. But in terms of career opportunities and risk/reward, law school is a scam, plain and simple
