No, I think it's less the school and more the type of people you're hanging around with. Protip: avoid sociopath gunners.

I think you should probably tone down the competitiveness yourself there, OP

I see nothing wrong with being competitive, as long as you don't go out of your way to screw someone over. In fact, if you wanna be a lawyer, you prob should be competitive.

lol seriously, why should I? I mean if someone's sick or busy a few times, then sure i'll help. but if it's a pattern where they don't attend class and rely on others to supply them, then i'm not helping sorry!

Nah, jealously guarding notes to maintain your perceived competitive advantage is pretty sucky and lolworthy behavior IMO

lol learn to read, seriously bro. i said i would consider not giving out notes. i didn't say, "i would never give out notes". it really depends on circumstances re: why someone needs my notes and how often they ask.

I thought about this stuff during 1L a decent amount. But how you end up doing relative to everyone else seems to be so random that there is no point in hurting relationships you might have developed with others to protect some perceived advantage. Just trust yourself and chill, giving someone else your notes isn't going to hurt you, particularly if they aren't even going to class.

Re: Does "backstabbing" or deliberately sabotaging your classmates happen at your ls?
yeah i know. i just want to clarify what i meant when i said, "i would consider not doing something (i.e. giving out notes)". this just means that there are circumstances under which i would say no, not that i would always or usually say no.

We read it, and we understood it. You would consider not giving out notes in an effort to compete (fairly). Message received loud and clear there gunner. And all I'm saying is that's too gunnery.

Any reasonable person would interpret the above as not wanting to enable irresponsibility and laziness.

OP just keep a fake set of notes with errors at all times to give out to slackers who selfishly try to mooch off of you

IDK, where you go this idea that I want to "protect" others. Not wanting to enable =/= protect. Protect is where I sit them down over coffee and give a life lecture, and receive disdain and contempt for my efforts.

I'll give you guys an analogy: if I wanted to protect an alcoholic from their self-inflicted harm, I'd force them to go to a rehabilitation center or join AA. If I didn't want to enable, I wouldn't supply them alcohol.
