Was the class at least interesting or would I be better off taking Narrative Structures which seems to be less reading intensive. Especially since I've heard my Con Law professor is no picnic.rayiner wrote:I didn't read 90% of it.

Just take narrative structures because I am. What did you hear about Con Law? Unless you mean there is a lot of reading, it doesn't really matter if a professor is "difficult"....see Cameron, David.Icculus wrote: Was the class at least interesting or would I be better off taking Narrative Structures which seems to be less reading intensive.

Clearly you are doing it right. This is the answer to 90%+ of all law school classes.rayiner wrote:

Yeah, I just know it's a ton of reading. Also, narrative structures meets on Friday, I like the idea of being done after CLR on Friday.splitmuch wrote:Just take narrative structures because I am.

In fact, I actually prefer that that to say our Torts Class where everyone will probably do objectively well.
I'm pretty sure that they would count military service as work experience, whether it happened before, during, or after undergrad is probably not that important.PBateman1 wrote:As far as WE goes, would 5 years of enlisted military experience in between my sophomore and junior years count? Or do they want post-undergraduate work. I worked my way up to a position where I was in a leadership role and "managed" people.

Thanks, NW is my goal school, so nice to know there is one less roadblock in the way.bjsesq wrote:TCR.Desert Fox wrote:bdubs wrote:I'm pretty sure that they would count military service as work experience, whether it happened before, during, or after undergrad is probably not that important.PBateman1 wrote:As far as WE goes, would 5 years of enlisted military experience in between my sophomore and junior years count?

I have no idea, but if you do get in, there is no way youre invited to my home game.WokeUpInACar wrote:So I really like NW and would be applying next cycle. Also you guys ITT seem pretty awesome. Just one somewhat strange question regarding the famed work experience requirement. I'm going to be 28 by the time I would matriculate, but I spent 5 years as a professional poker player. I know a lot of people might use something like this as a BS alibi for accomplishing nothing, but I have verifiable results online, traveled all over to play, paid taxes on winnings, and even got on TV a couple times. So anyway, do you think they would regard this as legitimate work experience?
I'd consider it pretty fucking awesome work experience. I'd suspect they would too.WokeUpInACar wrote:So I really like NW and would be applying next cycle. Also you guys ITT seem pretty awesome.

IMO that sounds pretty cool. If you do end up here, we have an annual auction where you could buy poker night with professors.WokeUpInACar wrote:So I really like NW and would be applying next cycle.

Please tell me your PS is awesome.

I think it should count. The only concern I could see them having is with the "legality" of online poker, especially after the 2006 UIGEA legislation. So if you did play online (which most of my friends who played that much did) then you should be careful how you address it.WokeUpInACar wrote:So I really like NW and would be applying next cycle.
