when do they release law review peeps?

Prior to the close of OGI bidding.

tax peeps: yale or yin? (based on quality of teaching and how spread out their curves are)

I have no clue about teaching quality, but Yin had a good (for your purposes) curve the last time I checked.

Don't do it. It's a trap!

Antitrust with Admiral Nachbar?

Hahaha, Cav, please elaborate! Tax is a trap, Yin is a trap, vamedic's advice to me is a trap...? All of the above?

And no bad-mouthing Nachbar allowed. I lurv him.

After seeing a lot of people study for the course last semester, it's something I want to avoid entirely. Looks like a horrible subject (sorry sealocust). No idea how grading works--Yale's exam was 75% multiple choice though, which is certainly unusual. I probably will do Antitrust with "Admiral Nachbar."

yale is incredible. take yale.

[thesealocust]

Yin was former lord God and commander of the joint committee on taxation, and has a lot of great anecdotes. He's a great teacher and had an often funny and relaxed attitude, but tax is objectively an awful, awful subject and he definitely also has moments of intensity.

Is taking Coportation, Bankrupcy, Secured Transactions, and two 1 credit seminars too light of a load for 2L fall?

Taking only three real courses is definitely a light workload, but 12 credits is fine--I did that my 2L fall. That said, with OGI occurring so early, 2L fall is not as crazy as a lot of people make it out to be, assuming the job search doesn't drag on too long. Callbacks generally occur in the first two or three weeks of classes (and some occur even before classes begin), so the process is likely to wrap up early on. You may want to take more credits in the fall to give yourself an easier second half of law school.

I was thinking of a similar schedule. Any reason I should avoid Walt for two classes?

thats assuming he is taking Walt's Sec. Trans... he could do Bank w/ Walt, Hynes for Sec. Trans and Morley for Corps.

Unless you're really, really into that stuff, that could be an incredibly dense and boring semester. I would consider swapping 1 of those classes out for a more, um, entertaining class.*

*NB - if this is what really floats your boat then go for it; I took 3-4 doctrinal classes/semester 2L year.

Swinger's got the idea.

Balnave > Hylton
Might not be able to get into Negotiation Institute as a 2L

[showNprove]

Advice for 2Ls: don't bet on getting many 1 or 2 credits courses. They tend to go quickly, especially the 1 credit courses. Put the one you want the most at the top of your list and hope for some good luck.

I think I'll take Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday off this semester. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

If we get the courses we want, we'll be seeing a lot of each other. Seems a little light on doctrinal classes for my taste, but I'm not in a position to judge whether that matters at all.

Take ONE class with him. I recommend him, but he is boring.

Maybe he was interesting in the 2/3 of the class meetings you didn't attend.

DOUBTFUL.
