THE MACHO MAN posted:What year are you and do you feel it's a waste? Poor job prospects or what? im a 1L. Job prospects are pretty poor right now up here (the Cities (although not as bad as elsewhere in the country apparently)) so its sort of discouraging to know that my degree will have really limited application. i'm applying for transfer to Minnesota and Wisconsin at the moment (Wisconsin already promised me a seat), and ive planned to since i decided to go here. if you dont mind spending a year at a school that you plan to leave after a year, then maybe think long and hard about going. if you plan on going and staying: pretty much dont

JudicialRestraints posted:I went to a party last night where two sophmores got really excited when I mentioned I was a law student. They indicated that they wanted to go to law school and started crowding really close to me. Before long they were fawning over me, touching me - laughing at jokes that weren't funny. I had both of them in the palm of my hand. yeah if you've never impressed a sexy coed with tales of law school well then go right on back to gbs. imo the rest of the time just tell people you're a grad student

CaptainScraps posted:I answered a policy question in my ADR final with an answer of how civil procedure precluded his question. there was a class action question on my civpro ii final today, and the question started out by saying something like "jane is not sure how to dismiss her case and bring it again in federal court as a class action and she comes to you for advice," so for the adequacy of representation requirement under frcp 23(a)(4) i put "her competence as a lawyer comes into question when the first person she asks about how to voluntarily dismiss a civil action is a first year law student in the middle of finals"

Currently writing my transfer application for Minnesota and not having any luck with what to write about. What do I say other than "i really like your clinics and your school is like 100 spots up the ranking"?

prussian advisor posted:This is basically what I wrote all my personal statements about, without mentioning their spot in the rankings, of course. Most were all some variation on "I want to practice this kind of law, your school would put me in a better position to practice it because of <reasons>." Make sure you mention any ties (familial or otherwise) that you have to the area, even if it's not a "regionally-oriented" law school, or any history that you have with the law school or its underlying University, if only to make them realize that you actually care about that school in particular and aren't just spamming. I'm in the same metro area right now so it's not an issue of location. Also I went there for undergrad, I don't know how important that would be to mention?

(Gibbons v. Odgen) 2. Is the commerce interstate? 3. Has Congress spoken? longer questions 1. If the state regulation facially discriminatory against ISC in effect or purpose, apply strict scrutiny 2. If the regulation is even-handed with only an incidental effect on ISC, the law is valid unless the burden imposed is clearly excessive in relation to the putative local benefits (Pike Test).

BigHead posted:UMN Chat: Out newly super conservative Governor Pawlenty (who used to be intelligent until he wanted to be President) convinced his good friend Mr. Chief Justice of the MN Supreme Court to step down, at which point Pawlenty appointed his Whore of the Supreme Court to Chief Justice (she's a Whore because it has taker her literally less than a year to go from Assistant County Prosecutor --> County Attorney --> District Judge --> SCOMN --> CJ of SCOMN). As soon as she was appointed, Pawlenty somehow managed to nominate the loving UMN Professor Stras, who is about as dumb as a loving doornail and proudly clerked for loving Thomas to SCOMN. otoh they just ruled Pawlenty's unallotments to last year's budget illegal, and now federally funded services state-wide have carte blanche to sue for lost funding, which adds up to I think $3 billion in cuts lol I worked for the senate last year and we spent like 3 months fixing his godawful budget only to have him unilaterally gently caress it up at the 11th hour, so it was a nice ruling because I had been impotently fuming about it since last May and now... satisfaction

Ainsley McTree posted:Yeah, that's not true at all. Grades are kind of arbitrary and even if they weren't, the fact that you're at a TTT doesn't mean that 90-95% of your class is dumber than you. yeah, there are dumb people here but they're definitely in the minority, and there are a number of folks that I wonder what in the world they are doing at this school (to which the answer is nearly always scholarship money). If I end up transferring it'll be interesting to compare student bodies, because some of the smartest people I know go to school at my TTT.

You do not look a judge in the face- cause I don't care what you think about me you gotta respect! this! process!, and if there's anybody I expect to respect this process, it's a second year law student at the University of Miami. Verdict for the plaintiff, $450. And court costs.
