Here comes year two of law school. I am excited to be able to take some classes I chose, not those chosen for me. I am going to stay up-to-date this year and post at least every two weeks. As you can see I have updated the layout and theme. As you can also see […]
Well, two exams down and two to go. The two I am done are Torts and Property. I had thought Torts would be among the hardest and Property would be among the easier. Civil Procedure is this Friday and Contracts is on Tuesday. I noticed during my property exam that some of my classmates are […]
Well, the fall semester is almost over, just one more day of class left, Monday. Then we have two reading days and our first final exam, Torts. I am lucky to have a brilliant professor for Torts, but his brillance comes with a certain amount of difficulty for us. He provided us with several sample […]
Well, Thanksgiving break is now over. We we’re lucky enough to have Wednesday through Sunday off, and even luckier to have classes cancelled by the Professor on Tuesday as well. This long break was great to help provide a bit of “time off”. But, our legal memos were due on Tuesday and that project has […]
We are now about a month and a half into the first semester. Anyone above the 1L level, and even 1Ls, talk about grades, law review, grades, law review, and grades. The only thing that is talked about with almost the same frequency is the curve. I have a scholarship that requires I stay in […]
Not surprisingly, there has already been some late nights. There never seems to be enough time to do all the reading, brief all the cases, and get them into my computer as well. I conflicting goals of trying to get home at a reasonable time while also getting most of my work done to free […]
Well, I am way behind on my posts. I should have about another 6-8 posts up, but I fell behind. I will stay on top of it moving forward. I am four weeks into the first semester, it is not as bad I it could have been. I have a great bunch of professors that […]
Well, the first day of orientation is over. It has been an exciting, long day. We started off meeting the other students in our section. My section has a good group of folks. Each section is in class together throughout the semester. Our sections are small, there are about 12 sections in the 230 or […]
I think everyone can agree that we need to do anything we can to prepare for law school. From all my applications, I got packets from law schools that included suggested reading. The readings are supposed to help prepare prospective students for the difficulty and difference in learning experienced in law school. Vermont Law School […]
First of all, I don’t know any other law students. And, the only lawyers I know don’t have the same problem I have. I am entering law school with house, a wife, and two children. I need to have plan in place for the three years of law school, but especially the first year. This […]
