Strangely I found that part of my summers way easier to manage than law school.Maybe it's just not getting the full crazy exposure, but I did work with one of our clients who was a drug addict horder and was sent out to assess his property. That was... Something.

There isn't a single exam where you won't realize you missed something "obvious" after you've left. I thought I completely hosed up my civ pro exam and wound up getting the only 4.3 in the class. Even if you gently caress up, if you truly do enjoy the work, know that an average first semester is fixable. My first semester grades were .1 above the median and now I'm in the top 15% of my class. Though it should be noted I still don't have a job.

As much as I hate dignifying an exam question with a response: Aren't you kinda making a bad assumption re: UCC? What was the underlying contract? That's the only way to know whether using the UCC is appropriate or not.

Phi230 posted:I just took my last one, I have made a huge mistake The default is a contract isn't governed by the UCC. There has to be a hook to get the UCC involved. 1-103 says simply that the common law still applies unless displaced by a specific UCC section. All in all your question doesn't even make the slightest bit of sense, really, but there is zero point to discussing or even thinking about an exam once its over.

My question was essentially a question about the application of 1-103, and I was right. There wasn't a single UCC question on the exam, all were worryingly simple formation/reliance/simple donative promise questions.

Welcome to your new life of hoping your good friends do poorly and ruin their futures so your GPA can go up by .2 points. jesus also another question that my friends and I got into, unrelated to a final so don't chew me out. Keep in mind I'm a stupid 1L and this wasn't serious, but lets say you promise to go on a date with someone, and they spend money in preparation of the date. Tongue in cheek obviously, but I said that it would be a contract for goods and services governed by the UCC, while my friends said that its a personal service contract. Basically I wanted to make the joke that suitor has a duty to mitigate by finding another date, while my friends seriously argued for specific performance despite Who is more retarded? Me or them?

I don't follow this thread much, so I don't see all the best posts, but I think if the thread title ever changes, this is the way to go. I've been studying for a while now to finish the CPA, without having much success. I've exhausted most of the busy CPA/accounting forums out there. Figured I'd reach out to another part of the population that hates themselves and spends all their time studying. Any advice or resources other than, say, adderall, to help me make meaningful use of my study time?

the actual answer is both of you are flagrantly wrong in every way you analyzed the situation and would badly fail any class on the subject, it's not a contract you gratuitously said you'd do a thing, that's a one-sided promise not a contract, and the only theory they can potentially recover expenses on is promissory estoppel not on contract, they can be put in the same place as if they had not foolishly relied on your statement you would go on a date with them if you had contracted to go on a date with them, besides that you are now a prostitute, that is a personal services contract because who your date is with is of considerable importance to anyone going on a date, not that there is a random warm body on the other side of the table

I had this bit of local news I thought I would share here. Just because you're right out of law school and hanging your own shingle, doesn't mean you can't start living like the high-earning lawyer you deserve to be. quote:Started a practice known as Amin Legal Group last year and lured a college acquaintance along with a law school intern to join the firm. According to prosecutors, Amin opened several lines of credit in the victims’ names without their knowledge or consent and used them to charge expenses totaling nearly $35,000. Amin allegedly threatened one victim by text message after learning that the victim had filed a complaint against him with the Board of Bar Overseers. It really seems like he could have skipped going to law school and just jumped straight into theft and fraud that much earlier.

I'm being completely serious about the squirrels btw, no joke.

They've gotten into the wires and I see paint chipping where I suspect they've made progress into burrowing through the drywall.

Today in lawyering, a codefendant who is trying to shift all the liability on me has been dragging his feet about providing dates for a corporate deposition. After wasting everyone's time in the last deposition I took by asking all the same questions I had already asked over the previous three hours. So I sent him written discovery including 75 requests for production. Merry Christmas!
