HYSCCN rising 2L, successful 1L, taking qs
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 6th, 2007 12:00 AM Author: slate really tough guy > A avg. Taking q's that won't out me, to the best of my ability. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653745&forum_id=2#8342465) |

Date: July 6th, 2007 12:05 AM Author: adventurous church Are you offended that I went to an in-state school and pay ~13k tuition and have a biglaw job you will be fighting for next fall already in hand? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653745&forum_id=2#8342484) |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 12:07 AM Author: slate really tough guy I also have a biglaw job in hand. But yes. Looking at the debt I'm going to graduate with, I might have been better off taking a free ride somewhere like Michigan or something. If I knew I was going to be good at law school exams, I might have.
EDIT: In hand is an exaggeration in my case. I will have an offer to return 2L. That's different, I suppose. |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 12:10 AM Author: adventurous church Well, you will walk on to the job regardless. The key difference I was trying to highlight is my debt will be $75k max, and that is with several international trips included.

Date: July 6th, 2007 12:12 AM Author: slate really tough guy No doubt. I wish there was some sort of bonus structure to account for 1) debtload or 2) success in law school, etc., but I don't know if there is. Obviously there's 200-250K for SCOTUS clerkship, minus 2 years biglaw salary (v. clerk's). That's a longshot. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653745&forum_id=2#8342510) |

Date: July 6th, 2007 12:16 AM Author: adventurous church Keep looking on the bright side, maybe you will get a degree that is all in latin and look really cool for the rest of your career.
Seriously, though, don't underestimate the ability to walk into biglaw. People agonize over that shit, and basically would give anything to get a biglaw job.
If you are an A average at a top school, though, why not go for the SCOTUS clerk? the 200k bonus more than makes up for the shit salary. You may have to postpone models+bottles for a couple years. |

Date: July 6th, 2007 12:19 AM Author: slate really tough guy It's not a question of whether I'd like to; it's a question of whether I'll be able to.

Date: July 6th, 2007 12:22 AM Author: adventurous church Sounds like a lot of stress. I'd rather just take the money and run.
Which justice would you most like to clerk for? Scalia? |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 12:25 AM Author: slate really tough guy Scalia would be a lot of fun. When I graduate, there may be another Justice in Stevens' seat (or Ginsburg's, for that matter). But if the Court were as it is today, I'd really like to clerk for Justice Kennedy, if only because it would mean helping out on the most important opinion in almost any divisive case.

Of course, you could be the clerk who gets to stick is finger in the wind to see which way the opinion will blow. I suppose that would be satisfying. Almost as much as the love of a mother for her child. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653745&forum_id=2#8342589) |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 12:34 AM Author: slate really tough guy There is something serious to respond to in here... I'll take your comment to mean, "But then you'd have to deal with a Justice who struggles with every single decision, and that will be both frustrating and tiring."
To that, I'd say it's a good point. On the other hand, that Justice Kennedy struggles with each decision and takes his job very seriously is admirable, and I think struggling is the best way to arrive at a reasoned solution. |

Scalia and Ginsburg do enjoy going to the opera together, so there may be some dandelions in Mr. Shoot 'em up's soup. |

Date: July 6th, 2007 12:23 AM Author: slate really tough guy Here's the problem, friend: suppose you have a > A average at one of those schools and want to avoid outing. Y doesn't even have "A," let alone "A+." I'm willing to bet that some of the others don't have A+. You can narrow it down that way. But I don't want to further specify if doing so would narrow it down to one school. This is especially true when people at the very top are more easily identifiable.
So I appreciate your concern, and I apologize for not starting an approved thread. Should I petition Rach for his approval, or can I just appeal to you? |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 12:35 AM Author: pink 180 home main people i'm going to go ahead and give you the required waiver, and on a couple of grounds. first, you make some good sense with your point about the grading scales. second, those of us in the know and with a mathematics background recognize the ">" symbol as indicating "greater than." thus it would appear that your GPA is greater than an A. that is an undeniably high average. sweet jesus, i could be corresponding with a future supreme court clerk and faculty luminary at a place like the university of harvard! it is i who should be asking you for special dispensations.

|
Date: July 6th, 2007 12:32 AM Author: slate really tough guy I spend a lot of time thinking about what my professor is going to want to see on the exam, and how he/she would like to see it presented. The best way to do this is to study carefully every A exam answer for a prof you can get your hands on, obviously.
I also look at the questions themselves (over time, if multiple exams are available) to limit my studying to a very small subset of the information covered in the year. I determine what are the subjects I am very likely (and somewhat likely) to be tested on. I study the "very likely" ones so that I *understand* them really well, such that I can apply them, though I don't focus much on cases. I do use supplements.
So, for example, if a Torts prof spent weeks on intentional torts but all his past exams are almost entirely negligence, I practice negligence analysis like hell and pretty much ignore the intentional stuff. |

Date: July 6th, 2007 12:33 AM Author: Flesh sanctuary jewess Do you take notes in class? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653745&forum_id=2#8342614) |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 12:36 AM Author: slate really tough guy Not much, and what I take is almost never useful at all. I do have a very good memory for remembering broad themes in terms that professors use. I think that if I didn't have that skill, notes would be more important. I definitely think people get too caught up in the day-to-day crap, though. 95% of each class will have no bearing on your exam, and most of the stuff that does matter will come back again. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653745&forum_id=2#8342632) |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 12:38 AM Author: naked menage legend is it just me or is 95% of the learning for the exam stuff you glean from E&E and emanuel's? when you started doing your outlines, how did you go about putting them together? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653745&forum_id=2#8342642) |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 12:48 AM Author: slate really tough guy I start with the syllabus, as I think most people probably do. I sometimes skim the cases (sometimes google/wikipedia or something), spending no more than 3 minutes per case. Then I'll look at (but not take) a few practice exams to get a sense for what's tested. Then I'll start making a <10 page first cut outline, which is mostly checklist style, but more detailed on the areas that are more likely to be tested. This is where I use the supplements. Any area I don't understand, I turn to the supplement, read the relevant section, and then go back to the skimming cases for a bit.
After I get through a <10 pager, I like to make a 2-4 page outline/checklist. Then I practice exams. I actually write full answers (this is the bulk of my time studying) to every exam I practice. I do as many as are available, but I'd probably do no more than 10 if more than 10 were available. If I'm really doing well after 3 or 4, I stop. There's no point in killing yourself if you've already got it. Then maybe I'll skim the supplements.
I'm not a fan of E&E by the way. |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 12:50 AM Author: naked menage legend for some reason the way you utilize cases in your study frightens me. i always feel insecure if i dont have a pretty strong grasp on at least the rule/reasoning of each case we studied. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653745&forum_id=2#8342736) |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 12:55 AM Author: slate really tough guy I understand that. If there are cases that are repeated (by the prof) over and over, I do know those cold. That's one of the things I get from my notes. I write: prof mentioned Palsgraf again, learn that one.
The weird thing about casebooks is that you have excerpts of cases that are there for all sorts of reasons. Some are ONLY there to show that a minority view exists that goes the other way. Others are ONLY there to make a procedural point of no value on the exam. The first of these can be ignored if you pick up a good supplement that tells you whether the rules are universal and, if not, what the minority rules are. The second of these can be ignored completely.
It's hard to know these things in advance, but that's something to look out for in class too, I suppose. |

Date: July 6th, 2007 12:58 AM Author: slate really tough guy I don't think my profs would have done it, and I would not have felt comfortable asking. I was lucky in that I had access to A answers and lots of past exam questions for most of my fall classes. For the one I didn't, the prof provided pretty detailed info as to what he/she preferred. I think it's important to listen to your prof for what he/she wants, though you should realize that some of it is just stuff they say they want because they think it'll get you to study more or something. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653745&forum_id=2#8342787) |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 12:59 AM Author: Flesh sanctuary jewess Sorry to keep on this subject, but I think it's pretty important. If they don't tell you what they want, do/would you simply ask them?
Also, do you use study groups? |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 1:02 AM Author: slate really tough guy That's a hard call. Today, I think no. I've done it enough that I can get a decent sense just by looking at lots of questions, even without answers. But back in the fall...I don't know. I'm probably too awkward to feel comfortable asking. It would depend on the prof. It could only help, I suppose.
EDIT: Sorry, ignored the study group question. Yes, only to go over past exams the week or two before the exam. This also helps me to know I've got it. |

Date: July 6th, 2007 12:42 AM Author: slate really tough guy Better off than the other way around, probably, but that depends on the types of exams you run into. If you have in class exams, you are in rough shape without a bit of practice.
My advice to you is twofold. First, consider prewriting pieces of in class exams (if possible at your school) with any profs with mildly predictable exams. I don't do it much, but I have heard it's effective. Second, look over A answers for the structure of a good answer. Don't just read them, but analyze what they are doing. There's probably a book out there that does this well (Getting to Maybe? I didn't read it). It's not just IRAC, for sure, but that's something. |

For VERY FEW, if any, of the courses can you get your hands on past A exams.
Besides, I know all the people from CLS 1L with >4.0 average (less than a handful), and none of them is as fucking douchy as this faggot here. You can deny it all you want, faggot. Funny how someone so "BRILLIANT" would just so blatantly out himself.

Date: July 6th, 2007 10:23 AM Author: Mischievous trip prole Thoughts on wgwag? What could the government do to increase wgwag? Subsidies? Criminalize non-wgwag couples? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653745&forum_id=2#8343881) |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 10:33 AM Author: slate really tough guy I suspect that the government might run into constitutional issues regardless of the program, though I couldn't say for sure. I suspect tax breaks might be particularly effective.
That said, while I recognize that you have a strong interest in uniting WG with AG, I wonder why the government would share your concern. In particular, because this would most likely require legislative change, I wonder what would compel a congressman to spend valuable political capital when only fringe groups with very little money are interested in increasing WGWAG.
This is exactly the thing you can write to your congressman about, and his staffers will send you a sincere letter in which the congressman pledges his commitment to make this a better country, hopefully by pushing for WGWAG legislation. That's about as far as I see things going though. Perhaps it's worth it: I suspect you might enjoy wallpapering your WGWAG room (where you watch movies featuring WGWAG) with the letter from your congressman. |

Date: July 6th, 2007 10:44 AM Author: slate really tough guy Found it, sure. I doubt it will be effective. You need to change the way people look at the relationship. This is where I would suggest a media conspiracy as your best bet. Big movies starring the Asian version of Brad Pitt (if one exists) and the American version of Angelina Jolie. A remake of Mr. & Mrs. Chang, perhaps. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653745&forum_id=2#8343941) |

Date: July 6th, 2007 10:46 AM Author: Mischievous trip prole What about a Super Nintendo game that glamorized WGWAG? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653745&forum_id=2#8343952) |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 10:48 AM Author: slate really tough guy The problem is that Nintendo typically goes for the anime big-eyed look, which makes none of them look Asian. I'm not sure if it would sufficiently authentic.
Super Nintendo is otherwise a very impressive plan. No one would ever see it coming. |

|
Date: July 6th, 2007 10:52 AM Author: slate really tough guy It's possible, but I don't recommend it. If you are indeed an AG in search of WG, then I would suggest making lots of money. That typically helps. There's also Craigslist or Match.com or something.
EDIT: While I'm happy to help with your WGWAG questions, as you can see it is not my area of expertise. |

Date: July 6th, 2007 11:01 AM Author: slate really tough guy That was an interesting turn of events. I can't say I saw it coming. This may be why WGWAG will always ultimately fail.

Best of luck. |

Date: July 6th, 2007 11:11 AM Author: Red hissy fit ty for this thread dood. it's very helpful.
other than exam time how much time do you put in studying during a typical week of classes? |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 11:22 AM Author: slate really tough guy I don't think my week-to-week study schedule is something that anyone should emulate. I sometimes fail to do the reading entirely; I often merely skim for the holdings; and I typically do less than is expected. In a Socratic class, this means that I am sometimes called on when I just don't know the answer. So it goes. I try to stay up on the policy stuff, since that usually gets me by in class (plus skimming the case as we go over it).
In answer to your question, probably about 30 to 45 minutes for the the typical class, though it varies widely. I will also designate a weekend here or there for hardcore studying (say, 14 hours). Sometimes you need to catch up. Other times, you realize that the last two weeks of class don't matter, other than for the experience. |

|
Date: July 6th, 2007 1:12 PM Author: slate really tough guy Depends on the exam. Some have page limits, so no. Others don't have page limits, so often yes. This is also a function of looking for what the professor wants based on past exams if possible.
Where there are no page limits, I'd be willing to bet that there's at least a rough correlation between length and grades. |

Date: July 6th, 2007 1:29 PM Author: Grizzly turdskin giraffe when did you become confident that you are on the right path with the way you are studying? What did you do during the summer before school started? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=653745&forum_id=2#8344673) |
|
Date: July 6th, 2007 1:49 PM Author: slate really tough guy I wasn't confident until I met with my study group, and I wasn't sure until I got my fall grades. It honestly FEELS like a crapshoot. But since it's repeatable, I'm more confident now. I don't think grades (at the top or bottom anyway) are random, as many say. I'm biased of course.
I do think that different things work for different people, but I feel confident that "learning everything first and then starting to look at exams" is a bad idea. You can usually cut out a minimum of 30% of the crap from the semester, and if you're good about it, sometimes as much as 80% of the crap. Look at exams.
EDIT: I ignored a question unintentionally, but now I'll have to decline to answer. I think that I might be too easily outed if I put down my employment. |

Date: July 24th, 2007 3:17 PM Author: Concupiscible Tanning Salon bump. good thread. HYSCCNanon, I found that your focus on A answers was the way to go. As much as learning any specific doctrine, what mattered for me was learning Professor X's habits of analysis -- the DNA of what they thought a good answer did -- so that you could sort of mimic it on the exam. I tell people that what the professor secretly wants to hear is the mini-version of him you've spawned in your brain after weeks of sitting through his brilliant lectures. After you get this, it shapes and speeds up note taking, outline prep, etc. The other thing was how important it is to only skim the cases before class. A well written opinion is as easy to skim as a TV guide, because all the sections are marked: rule synthesis/application/counter/conclusion, then repeat. The important thing is finding the puzzle in the case and thinking about that a little bit. I was always amazed when I would skim a case for five minutes before class and then I'd end up riffing with the professor about it in class, while people who still cared enough to sweat over it got left behind. Not that talking in class matters. |
