If you can understand it, it's actually the most useful class I've taken in law school. Plus, you can get a good grade because so many others will be completely lost.


My teacher is awesome. In fact, he's so awesome, I don't think anybody is lost.

SHOOT. haha. Well...I think I've learned it...hopefully the curve doesn't ruin my life and eat all my steak. I figure if I get Mathews, Chevron, and notice and comment up on this thing I should be relatively okay. I have those down. 2lol.

yup, that's pretty much my plan. pretty sure the curve is going to be brutal, though. i missed probably half of the classes, and of those i did attend, any time someone would talk in that class i would be like, "lol... what?"

I'm assuming not SMU - I can try and find you an O&G outline for Lowe at SMU if that would be helpful. Apparently he's some sort of legend in O&G.

My tax exam performance inspired me to study harder for my other ones. Fuck yeah.

I've got some outlines, and the "In a Nutshell" book (I think by Lowe). Just no motivation to actually start anything.

Hearsay is fucking stupid. What's the point of excluding it if damn near everything is covered by an exemption?

Is it just me, or are the CALI lessons on Evidence very poorly-worded? I find myself getting a question wrong and looking at the explanation and thinking "that's exactly what I said" before realizing that it randomly changed the form of the question or what it was asking somewhere in there.

Pretty much true of CALI in general, unfortunately. Always a huge waste of time.

My prof is all M/C and you must say why the answer is right or wrong. He specially said CALI is a good place to prep, and he pulls a lot of his examples from there. It's just hard to get a good sense of where I am. I've never used CALI before.

I guess a better question would be on the Siegel's Q&A book, if am getting 90% right on the M/C in the back, is that good, or are those generally too easy?

I just got Siegel's Q&A today and I haven't missed many of the first 25 MC. I also have not read much for this class all semester long and just started studying. I have a feeling that they are just too easy (though I hope I just retained way more than I thought I did throughout the semester).

if you go to most of the classes, do most of the reading, and take notes (half-assedly, but they still make sense for the most part)... what are the chances of getting worse than a C- on the exam?

nearly zero, right?

Agreed. Throw in an old outline that's half decent and you got a serious shot at median my friend!

You don't. Just write PFM for every answer.

Have to learn Evidence by 8:00 Monday. Tell me I can do this and stay sane. The prof. is giving us the rules, but it's closed-book otherwise. Any suggestions on how to focus the studying?

Just memorize the rules, really. Do some CALI lessons and practice hearsay...when I sat down to my M/C exam after doing CALI and the McNaughton / Morgan hearsay exams over and over, I barely had to look at my outline.

There's very few cases that you need to know, the rules are pretty much it.

+1. I stopped doing Cali after first semester of 1L year because the wording didn't match up with my Professor so it was just confusing me. I tried it again this semester for Evidence, and lo and behold, same damn confusion. Never again. I'll stick to re-reading, re-condescending my outline and flash cards.

My experience with Cali as well.

Bankruptcy - Exam has 3 hr 45 min time frame, professor says 3:15 should be more than enough.

No one leaves early, people leave answers blank.


Bring on the curve baby.
