The Toona posts are missing the one where he states which classrooms and offices he and the study partner defiled.

BigHead posted:In a world where any trained gerbil can do your job, often the only thing separating one gerbil from the other is the way an interviewee connects with the interviewer. A GPA doesn't tell me whether you are or are not a stinky neckbeard who has a waifu pillow at home. I want to know if you run marathons or run a local chess club or build ornate cabnitery or whatever. Also if you went HS -> undergrad -> law school with no work experience, it becomes a VERY short resume.

Ghosts? While discussing whether you were required to disclose that a house was haunted, our property professor mentioned that his sister’s house was haunted. He said that you would be sitting in the house and it would feel like everything moved. An older classmate, who had worked as a general contractor before law school, asked where she lived. After being told what part of town it was, she basically said that ya, the water table out there is so high that you can feel it rise and fall. Those houses never should have been built and she’s going to have foundation issues. Last I heard the sister moved. And the houses there all have foundation issues.

Mr. Nice! posted:Your property class must not have touched on Stambovsky v. Ackley yet. Oh hey, that was the case that started the discussion. I couldn't remember the name and couldn't be bothered to search for it. To be fair, this was 12 years ago, and I don't practice law, so I don't remember squat.

GET MONEY posted:Yes, I recognized that, but the “magic bullet” approach is appealing and it’s not clear whether it would fail in areas other than niche litigation. For example, from what I’ve heard, tax practice can be somewhat magic bullet-y. I’d like to know if there is anything else? The only magic bullet is having a parent with their name on the letter head.

GET MONEY posted:Admiralty was considered but I figure it's too niche and also sometimes I get seasick. I could probably strike tax, personal injury, labor & employment, and insurance coverage too. There’s good money in all of those areas. It just doesn’t involve representing the “good” side.

Look Sir Droids posted:It’s not really much of a mess. The Ewoks are dumb. The idea of a technologically inferior group beating he stormtroopers is fine, but the Ewoks are too inferior for it to be believable. The original celebration scene was better, though, despite what nerds say. Even with the emporer dead the power structure of the empire wouldn’t collapse instantaneously. Therefore a local celebration would be the appropriate thing to show. Coruscant wouldn’t be celebrating. It would be ground zero for an immediate power struggle. Also, Luke standing half in light and half in shadow while Vader figures out who Leia is, with the resultant beat down by Luke, is among my favorite movie scenes ever.

nm posted:I am lucky as loving hell and easily could be as miserable as most of my FB law school friends are. This is all you should need to know about becoming a lawyer. Most of them are miserable. Every year more of my law school friends abandon lawyering for anything else. I think the smartest one of them was JesustheDarkLord (fellow goon). He married a doctor and is a stay-at-home parent now.

sincx posted:edit: my legal training has been tremendously useful in helping my parents with many aspects of the business, of course, and will continue to be helpful if I were to join full-time. But still it seems like such a waste to stop practicing law after all I've been through. Just treat your new job as the retainer for your legal expertise.

Every time I visit my parents in Memphis we hit up Gus’s and Central. Also the downtown Huey’s because it was right across the street from where I worked, so I’d go there all the time. And also Abner’s, because who doesn’t want to eat 8 chicken tenders and a single piece of garlic bread for lunch? And also some Mexican place on Poplar, and the Chinese place my dad likes. I gain a lot of weight every time I visit Memphis.

Vox Nihili posted:Be that as it may, almost everyone else here with the notable exception of Toona is also a lawyer. I thought Toona got his license for a promotion, but still isn’t technically practicing law. Also, he boned a law student on school grounds. I don’t know what it counts for, but it’s got to count for something.
