Briefing is totally unnecessary. There are also some tips on these professors earlier in the thread.salim123 wrote:Any general tips about Badawi, Mandelker, and Goldwasser with regards to class preparation, readings, and briefing? Thanks.
I don't think it's unnecessary for the first few weeks until you learn why you're briefinghoos89 wrote:Briefing is totally unnecessary.

Mavis Beacon typing software to increase word countjohnnyquest wrote:I'm sure that the answer is no, but I'll ask anyway. Has anyone found a supplement that would help out in Tamanaha's torts class?
You really don't need it. Torts is pretty simple, and he tells you exactly what he wants you to know. In your spare time do practice exams, and make yourself a really good one or two pager.johnnyquest wrote:I'm sure that the answer is no, but I'll ask anyway.

Wash U sent 1 person in '13 and '12 to Wisconsin. Granted some of that is self-selection, but I can't imagine it would be easy to make that leap. If you want to work in Wisconsin, Wisconsin might be a good place to start.

I'm getting ahead of myself here-what is the type of student who will be competitive for a firm like Bryan Cave?
The firms in St. Louis are extremely selective. Only looking to hire like...5 people total. And there's always healthy competition coming from at least SLU and probably UMSL as well.tyang wrote:Thanks for the link!

I'm confused. I don't know if cuse meant UMSL as an undergrad institution (or law school?) or not but I agree with his overall point. St. Louis is picky as hell. Law firms are so damn insecure that you'll leave after a few years and go off to some more attractive place. If there was one point I would underscore in this thread, it's this: don't count on St. Louis, whether you're from MO, close to it in IL, or even St. Louis itself. They're finicky as hell. I know great people with great grades who've been shut out who are from here.cusenation wrote:The firms in St. Louis are extremely selective. Only looking to hire like...5 people total.

Assume top third at minimum, journal, and ties to Missouri for any of the St. Louis firms. Bonus points if diverse.
ETA: When i say top third at minimum, i really mean top 20% or higher. But probably top 10%.
hahaha my bad, i meant whatever public missouri school has a law school...maybe it's mizzou?bouakedojo wrote:I'm confused.

definitely agree that u need to have the grades. But no matter what i would strongly suggest networking/mass-mailing early no matter what your grades are. Especially for non-NYC markets. Take advantage of the Becker thing as much as you can. If you can start to narrow down your preferred region, firm, practice group, then CSO can start to match you up with older students/alumni earlier that will make it easier. Start looking at government positions for next summer like right now, the December 1st start-date only applies to law firms. It was frustrating to meet with Carol Vizzier in January only to learn that a ton of government deadlines had passed back in the fall.sublime wrote:Yea, based on what I have heard, it is entirely possible we have more people going to big NYC firms than people going to big StL firms at this point, which kind of makes sense, but wasn't really what I expected.
And like everybody else said, you have to have the grades, but that goes with not being at a T14.

Damn. There's even a forum selection clause.
Lolololol.
