I've been to about three classes during the last two weeks. I stand in a large hole that I dug for myself. That's where I stand! :maf
yea but law classes are always awesome though. unless it's real estate or some shit
I rarely contributed to my law classes but it was fun watching different groups grow - the emotional people who don't care about facts of law, the heartless realists (meee), strict constitutionalists, That Guy Who Always Has Something distinguished mentally-challenged to Say, etc
in the past 5 weeks i've only been to two econ classes :-\what part of her resembles alexis texas? The good part?
there's a girl in class who looks like a mix of patricia arquette in true romance and alexis texas
i've never talked to her :'(

I guess I should look into that. But since none of the classes take attendance, how would they know?I've been to about three classes during the last two weeks. I stand in a large hole that I dug for myself. That's where I stand! :maf
Don't you have to attend a minimum number of classes? The ABA in the US mandates that students who miss more than 80% of a class cannot take the final (fail the class). I should have done law school in Canada :usacry
They probably don't know but they may have you sign a statement before or at the start of the final exam (or mid -term if you have year long classes) saying that you attended such and such number of classes. Some of my professors did take attendance, it sucked balls.I guess I should look into that.

BTW, I withdrew and couldn't be happier. Law School was miserable for me. Good luck though!
PS: Outlines are awesome and you might be able to find them in the library rather than pay for them. Also, hornbooks can be useful for some classes but are a waste of time and money for others. I would say that hornbooks would be useful in Con Law and Contracts, but probably not necessary for Torts, Crim Law, Property, or Civ Pro.... Of course this is all from an American perspective and things will be different in Canada.
PPS: Make friends, go out and blow off steam on the weekend, get laid.
The classes aren't fun when you're experiencing extreme anxiety.

What did you dislike most about law school?
while drawing on other outline, I'm creating my own outlines.
Yeah, I won't be following that last post-postscript
Ah, the trade offs of life.The classes aren't fun when you're experiencing extreme anxiety.

That makes you sleepy. Kinda defeats the purpose of lowering anxiety to attend class/study.
Speaking of legal writing, I can't find a single paragraph that doesn't include the phrase "the fact that." Good god!
the thing I most disliked was the rigidness that was applied to all written assignments, be it exams, LRW or whatever. I rather enjoyed the research aspect. I had a LRW (Legal research and Writing) professor that forced us to do all of our research in the library, no using Westlaw or Lexis Nexis. I fucking loved it since it was like solving a puzzle.
when I get right down to it, I hated 2 things
1. I hated the bullshit citing and gramar requirements. At the school I went to if the cite wasn't perfect often the professor would disregard the entire paragraph made around that cite. by that I mean, every period, every comma, every spot cite had to be perfect.
2. I hated all the case briefing bullshit that won't help you in the real world and the subsequent Socratic method that focused solely on the case rather than the legal ideas we were supposed to take away from the case.
again, good luck. It just wasn't for me. Luckily I have landed a good job and will be A-ok from now on.

Due to the fact that Malek has missed nearly a month of class, we recommended that he gets his pasty ass beaten.

You tell me which sentence sounds better.

"Due to the fact that" sounds more natural to me at the beginning of a sentence, but "since" would be better than both.

How does a five word phrase sound more natural than the word "because"?

How are those Sports classes? Interesting?
What's your major?
I learnt today that my philo teacher is a new-ager. She always keeps on going on about how awesome everything was "back then" or more accurately she speaks about anything new with disgust. So today she was talking about how some scientist recently said that the earth tries to control it's temperature almost as if it had a purpose. She then used this to try and justify Aristotle's natural law theory and then went on to talk about how much wisdom we had back then and how thinking in terms of causality has lead us astray.
Half the class snicked.
