I bought all mine from 2Ls except one that I got on amazon and didn't spend very much.

Re: UChi rising 2Ls and 3Ls (!!!) taking Questions
I just ordered three yesterday, probably jumped the gun but oh well. Torts and Civ Pro I picked up used online after digging through a bunch of listings looking for the least highlighting. Crim is a brand new edition and the old one is like 6 years old so at least imo I figure that's too much time to have passed for the previous edition to be adequate.
Holding out for LRW and Stone, they are cheap compared to those though

^Yeah, I think the only book for Stone's Elements class is the one he wrote--Perilous Times. $14 on Amazon.

Looking at used copies for crim (old edition), and just realizing that 2007 was six years ago... where did time go?2014 wrote:I just ordered three yesterday, probably jumped the gun but oh well.

Roughly 25% of Stone's Elements class is in this article. Learn to think like him and you'll do well.

Re: UChi rising 2Ls and 3Ls (!!!) taking Questions
Just spoke with the bursar. No refunds until first day of classes, which is directly not what the SLA told me.
I need some people to tell me that different departments actually communicate.

So just realized we 2Ls have like 18 weeks of summer next year; what do people usually do between job ending and class starting?

Priceline / hotwire. You can usually get hotels around the airports for around $50 a night.tamereth wrote:If it's just for a day or two, try hotel tonight. They do daily hotel deals.ChampagnePapi wrote:Cheap hotel recommendations? I plan on visiting next month

Is staying at the airport inconvenient for getting to the campus area? Are there any cheap hotels near campus?

Not very convenient, no, but it's cheap. South loop is your best bet for convenience, but hotels there are pricey.ChampagnePapi wrote:Is staying at the airport inconvenient for getting to the campus area? Are there any cheap hotels near campus?

Re: UChi rising 2Ls and 3Ls (!!!) taking Questions
There's a shitty hotel that I can see from my window in Regents (Ramada Inn I think?) that I imagine is cheap and close. Best bet is probably hotwire in the South Loop though and then take a bus down here.

Not annoying at all. Nobody gets worked up about 1L LSA elections, so you'll probably just see some stuff on facebook.Mad Hatter wrote:How annoying will the LSA elections be? Are they allowed to campaign on lawannounce?

Re: UChi rising 2Ls and 3Ls (!!!) taking Questions
Looking at flights home over Christmas since flights are cheap atm.
Do most people clear out as soon as break starts and come back right before classes or do people tend to hang around either at the start or end of winter break?

Re: UChi rising 2Ls and 3Ls (!!!) taking Questions
As a 3L, an I allowed to ask a question? Any UChi tax folks have thoughts on a non-math person taking intro to income tax and taxation of corporations at the same time? I liked business associations a lot, fwiw. Just feel like I should get some tax classes in before I graduate, and if I don't take both next quarter I can't take the tax class offered in spring.
Thanks!
Thanks!

What do you mean by "non-math"? Do you mean you just didn't major in math/engineering, or do you mean you got a C- in high school algebra and never looked back?cranberry wrote:As a 3L, an I allowed to ask a question?

I can't speak to tax, but I've taken classes that are more "mathy" than tax. If you don't have a clue how to do algebra and use a spreadsheet, I can see them being difficult, but my highest math was AP calculus and I find the math quite doable.

Intro to Income Tax was basic multiplication and addition/subtraction. Shouldn't be a problem.cranberry wrote:As a 3L, an I allowed to ask a question?

Re: UChi rising 2Ls and 3Ls (!!!) taking Questions
There's not that much math in tax, and IMO, there's more math in intro than corporate. I also didn't think intro was strictly necessary for corporate. Weisbach is kind of in his own little world and will find ways to confuse you regardless. I'm biased as a tax geek, but I thought I got a ton out of that class.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
