Re: Duke Class of 2013
Section 2. ConLaw, CivPro, and Torts. Blocher for ConLaw, DeMott for Torts, and blank for CivPro. Don't see legal writing anywhere on there but I'm assuming that it'll be added at some point.
EDIT: Also, my stuff isn't here yet. Called today and they said it'll be here Tuesday morning, so that's fun. Definitely took advantage of the sales tax holiday this weekend by buying my computer at Southpoint Mall today. Had to stand out in the sun for almost an hour but I saved over $100 on sales tax.

Re: Duke Class of 2013
Wow, at least 10% of section 2 is made up of posters ITT.
So, anyone still concerned about the over enrollment? I have to believe they'll address it at orientation. I don't think it's that big a deal, just that maybe we'll have to rely less on OCI. (/clueless 0L)

Re: Duke Class of 2013
Maybe the assignments are alphabetical, since I know W would be in the last section (6). I think section 6 stays the latest out of them all too Section 6 and 2 also share a class with the summer starters, so there goes the hope that being less clueless than our classmates might bump us up the curve lol.
Time to buy books.
Thanks v8 for the info on Guy Charles

Hagaan for Ks 845-945
Civ Pro 11-12
Beale Crim 130-230

Interesting, Beale was the one who's class I sat in on. She was very lax on the Socratic Method. I really liked the class I attended.
How do I know which casebooks to order?

Go to the class search through the ACES registration system, click aw, click on the classes you have, then click 'View Textbook Store Listing.'DallasCowboy wrote:Interesting, Beale was the one who's class I sat in on. She was very lax on the Socratic Method. I really liked the class I attended.

About textbooks, is the bookstore listing usually accurate or do professors change at the last minute when classes start?

Re: Duke Class of 2013
its a conspiracy!
Oh and thanks for the info about Blocher. Im glad I got him but having two other professors that are basically unknowns is a little frightening.
*edit*
Thinking about getting these books from amazon:
Cases and Materials on the Law of Torts (American Casebook Series) - James E. Meeks; Hardcover
Condition: New
$142.00
The Law of Torts: Examples & Explanations, 4th Edition (Examples & Explanations Series) - Joseph W. Glannon; Paperback
Condition: New
$41.83
Constitutional Law - Chemerinsky; Hardcover
Condition: New
$142.20
Civil Procedure - Stephen C. Yeazell; Hardcover
Condition: New
$143.52
Civil Procedure Examples & Explanations - Joseph W. Glannon; Paperback
Condition: New
$38.50
Going to pick up the Federal Rules of Procedure from the bookstore. They have copies and are apparently pretty cheap comparably.
Are these prices about right? Also, what do you guys think about getting those E&Es? From what I understand they can be pretty helpful. Not trying to bring the gunner here, just wondering if their helpfulness is worth the extra $80 or so.

Re: Duke Class of 2013
So how much do you guys think that being in section with summer starters is going to matter. I am a bit apprehensive about competing with people that already know what to expect from law school and a law school exam.Jericwithers wrote:Maybe the assignments are alphabetical, since I know W would be in the last section (6).

I don't think they are alphabetical. Unless they are in reverse order that would have placed me in either section 7 or 8.

I must say that seems a bit unfair really. You are going be graded against people who have already experienced at least 2 law school exams. Guess they were smart to do summer start, lol.pelmen74 wrote:So how much do you guys think that being in section with summer starters is going to matter.

Hey all,
How do people know what books they need already? I have looked everywhere but cannot find the fall 2010 book list. Any help would be great.
Thanks.

There are other ways to find your books as well like using the Duke bookstore's website.

Re: Duke Class of 2013
I don't post on here often, but wanted to join this thread's ranks to say I'm in section 2 as well! I've also arrived in Durham safely and am not sure how to keep myself occupied for the next 9 or so days...
Great to hear good things about Blocher! I can't wait to get started.
