UVA is clearly the better choice in a vacuum in terms of employment outcomes, financial offers being equal. But as to whether that’s worth up and moving your lives 3-4 hours from DC is a highly personal choice. I’d wait to find out what actual cost of attendance at each is expected to be before maki...

Largely irrelevant, unfortunately. University pedigree is a soft bump at best. I would not transfer if that’s your only reason though.

Might be some overlap with this thread: https://www.lawschool.life/forums/viewtopic.php?p=197335#p197335 And there's a lot of discussion on iPads in the general Tech and Apple threads in the Lounge. Bottom line being the iPad Pro is an excellent device that's definitely useful for document reading a...

I’ve heard of 4-6 months being common depending on the district, and that as long as a year isn’t unheard of in some.
No firsthand experience.

I’m fairly confident that “Senior Associate” is just a signal to opposing counsel that “This guy is a pain in the ass to work across from and all around general piece of work.”

Hope that helps!

I think you mean “, Esq.”

At my firm, there are only associates and partners. I think this is firm-specific and also utterly meaningless. It’s not meaningless where it means something. At my firm there were special trainings and seminars that went with reaching mid-level or senior, and a change in expectations of case manag...

Senior associate at a biglaw firm usually entails at least 5-6 years.

None that I've ever heard of

Ok this is actually happening for me on a bunch of different websites now. Extremely odd.

No idea what’s causing this but I’m looking into it.

For REPAYE, you have to file jointly.

AFAIK this is wrong. You can file separately but your REPAYE payments are based on adjusted gross income (combined) regardless.
Filing jointly is probably going to make more sense for most couples but it’s not a requirement.

Take the Hamilton for all the reasons mentioned above.

Anyone have outlines for

Bankruptcy - Skeel
Crim - Katz
Con - Kreimer?

Thanks in advance!!

I definitely have Katz somewhere, remind me if I haven’t uploaded it within the next couple days.

Unlikely in the extreme even at most T14.

I don’t remember any applications asking for disclosure of anything less than arrests and/or convictions. But whatever you do disclose, just be sure to emphasize how much you’ve learned and grown since the experience and odds are are you’ll be fine.

yeah seems like utterly boring and normal law school fare. my school was great about letting you take courses from other departments so I filled as much of my 3L schedule as I could with stuff like foreign languages and accounting. I did have some great “law and” courses, healthcare, philosophy of p...

You know Commercial Paper is one of the bar topics, right?

I always hear this on LSL yet in three bars and two summers of bar study managed never once to encounter it.
George just lucky I guess.

It is saying I have been banned through my IP Address, but only when trying to login on my cell phone. The reason it gives is: Why man. Not sure if this is a technical error, since I can obviously login via my computer. And, I am certainly not aware that I did anything that would warrant a ban from...

Doesn’t sound all that different from Tarasoff reasoning at a second’s glance.

also temp agencies exist for a reason

Mostly because reddit, and because traditional forums are not the staple of online communication they were before social media. They still offer unique advantages for established community, curation, etc., but no one has to use them anymore to get answers to questions. It’s a niche platform for folk...

It probably depends on your school, but at many law schools F’s are basically unheard of. I wouldn’t stress about it. It’ll only wear you out before your other exams, and anyway it’s over — nothing more to be done about that one anyway! Odds are good you did better than you think you did. But even i...

Any interest in starting a 1L SA/diversity thread? Used to be a thing on TLS and seemed helpful There's a Texas 1L SA thread going in the employment forums. Probably worth starting one for diversity positions, too, but not really my thread to OP. Do we have anon posting yet? If not, I'd like to see...

I know people taking closed book exams at other schools -- like I know someone taking a closed book contracts exam. How in tf can someone memorize all that shit ?! that's crazy They’re often easier to master if your professor’s not a huge dick and tells you the applicable universe. More black lette...

The one-page rule definitely holds for law firm job applications and similar work when you don’t have that much experience in a field. School applications for prospective students are a whole different thing filled with fluff. Pretty sure my LSAC applications were 2-3 pages as well.
