Email instead of a letter is fine; it might leave a good impression and it might be ignored, but I don't think anybody's going to go "man, gently caress that guy" as long as it's short and personable.

Mixed Doubles posted:I'm rambling, but my thinking is this: UT over Michigan, but Penn if I get enough aid to make it equal cost. Does that sound like a good game plan to you guys? It's hard to find objective advice because everyone in Texas thinks UT is God and has never heard of Penn, but I've also heard that UT grads have been pretty hard hit lately, and I know to take the advice of anyone who went to school 40 years ago with a grain of salt. If you want to go to New York, Penn (with equivalent money) > Michigan > UT. Taking on the full cost of attendance for any of them wouldn't be worth it, but you could call up the Penn admissions people and say "hey, I've got this money offer from Mich but I want to be an Ivy-league snob, can you guys do anything for me?" If you want to work at your small firm, it probably doesn't make any difference so long as you can pass the Texas bar. Go to whichever has the cheapest cost of living.

dos4gw posted:OK so you're doing a Torts exam and there's a problem question on say product liability. You don't think that company X would be liable because the case law says such and such and so you don't think the claimant has shown causation. There's not really any emotive element to that - if the professor personally disagrees with your opinion, as long as you have analysed the authorities properly and show that you know what you're talking about, you'll get marks. Reminds me of a question from my 1L torts exam. Letter for letter: "Is tort law just?"

To me it's the difference between 1) reporting the basics as soon as possible even though you haven't gone through all the details, which would be fine; and 2) getting the result of the case completely wrong (and then rambling on about how striking down the law hurts the administration) instead of having Jeff Toobin take an extra ten seconds and skim the next page of the opinion, which is ridiculous.
