I don't want to take all these classes because it would be too much work. Negotiation and K drafting are supposed to be pretty good at my school. |

Date: September 7th, 2010 10:07 PM Author: ivory spot legal warrant i would say take the black letter classes, but that's just me. whatever K you draft in your K drafting class and whatever negotiation you do in your negotiations class are not going to come up in your practice. i've personally never been able to buy into those made up practice-oriented classes.

Date: September 7th, 2010 10:11 PM Author: copper hunting ground Thanks. I think you're right in a way. Some people hype those classes a lot but in the end, they are a lot of work and try to teach something that might be mostly common sense and/or suited for learning on the job.

Date: September 7th, 2010 11:18 PM Author: copper hunting ground ty. It's that important? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1417342&forum_id=2#15991596) |
|
Date: September 7th, 2010 11:26 PM Author: excitant ocher theater stage It's something that will be useful on a frequent basis.
The rest of the classes are pretty much optional. M&A seems like it would be pertinent, but it overlaps a good deal with corporations and corporate tax and is easy enough to learn on your own. |
|
Date: September 7th, 2010 11:28 PM Author: Fighting cyan famous landscape painting Yes. It comes up frequently, most of your supervisors will expect you to have basic knowledge of securities laws, and it's a subject that's tricky to learn on your own.

|
Date: September 7th, 2010 11:19 PM Author: Fighting cyan famous landscape painting Securities Reg is the most important of those by far. I think that Bankruptcy and Tax are more worthwhile than the rest of what you have listed. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1417342&forum_id=2#15991608) |

|
Date: September 7th, 2010 11:30 PM Author: Fighting cyan famous landscape painting I'd put that a notch behind Bankruptcy, since Bankrutpcy will cover at least the basic concept of priority and has the added benefit of being useful in every practice area i can think of, except perhaps criminal law. But lord knows Secured Transactions is more likely to be applicable to practice than a basic drafting class or trusts and estates.

Date: September 7th, 2010 11:32 PM Author: copper hunting ground I've already taken all of those. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1417342&forum_id=2#15991758) |
|
Date: September 7th, 2010 11:34 PM Author: Fighting cyan famous landscape painting Then I'd say your priorities are:
1. Securities Regulation
2. M&A
3. Drafting or Negotiation if you get a good time slot and a well-liked professor
4. Whatever else you feel like taking |
|
Date: September 7th, 2010 11:37 PM Author: copper hunting ground There are really well-liked negotiation and drafting profs. But those classes are a lot of work so not sure I want to take them along with sec reg and m&a. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1417342&forum_id=2#15991809) |
|
Date: September 7th, 2010 11:38 PM Author: Fighting cyan famous landscape painting Oh, yeah, don't take all of that stuff in the same semester. Really Securities Regulation is the only must-have on your list. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1417342&forum_id=2#15991813) |

Date: September 7th, 2010 11:47 PM Author: copper hunting ground Yeah, not planning on it. I sort of liked tax but I got a pretty terrible grade in it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1417342&forum_id=2#15991912) |

Also took some lit classes before I was set on corporate. |

Date: September 7th, 2010 11:46 PM Author: Mint Cocky House Masturbator I really should have taken Tax, but I was always too lazy. Looks like you're doing well so far. And I did the same thing you did--I took complex lit and bankruptcy lit because I liked the professor, and they actually ended up being really useful during my 2L summer.
