Good luck everyone with the rest of finals. We got a Mel Gibson test in Evidence this morning.

First day in court, they have a child porn sentencing, not only is it creepy being in the same room as the guy who watched children under 5 but they actually play the videos and read the transcripts out-loud.
Brutal way to start the summer.

Damn Kings, that's rough. I know we briefly touched on that stuff in one of my classes, but still left me with mental scarring for about a week.

Cold, barren and gray, just like my soul. I think classes have been a lot better than 1L year. 80% less gunners.
Only have a few more days till freedom, and somehow took an even slacker schedule in the Spring. Can't complain about any of that.

Re: Indiana University - Bloomington students taking questions
I will be applying to IUb in the next few days, although I'm kind of afraid of even having the option to pay 150k+ to go to school in..... Indiana. Help ?

Re: Indiana University - Bloomington students taking questions
I would say, by all means, don't pay $150K to go to school. If you have better options, then by all means (ex. scholarship at top 14). I'm not going to pretend IU it magic, but they have been much better than their respective peers in scholarship money. Please post when you have some offers and options.Sandro777 wrote:I will be applying to IUb in the next few days, although I'm kind of afraid of even having the option to pay 150k+ to go to school in.....

Re: Indiana University - Bloomington students taking questions
Two finals done. Two more to go. I believe that Income Tax may be the toughest final I'll ever take. I feel like we've been over the entire tax code, but we've barely scratched the surface.
Edit: And Bloomington is riddled with drugs. After working in the PD's office over the summer, I can tell you where to go if you want cocaine or heroin. That knowledge terrifies me.

Re: Indiana University - Bloomington students taking questions
Good luck on the Income tax final. I'm looking forward to taking that class. I wonder how much different the law school tax classes are from graduate accounting/tax work.

Re: Indiana University - Bloomington students taking questions
I have a few friends that were accounting majors in my tax class and they said the class was significantly different. It helped give a basic background but it really did not help with much of the class.gatorhoosier wrote:Good luck on the Income tax final. I'm looking forward to taking that class.

Of the ~20 people I have talked to in income tax, I will bet you don't look forward to it. I may take it next year, but I won't like it.gatorhoosier wrote:Good luck on the Income tax final.

Congrats to those who are done. I sincerely hate you for putting this semester behind you... I have just another day or so.
Oh, for the 1L's: I would recommend Williams for Con law, Stake for Property, and Steele for legal professions. If you do not have those professors, you are likely fucked next year.

Sue is a great Property teacher, and I've heard good things about Conkle as well.
Who is teaching Legal Professions this year?
Anyway, congrats on being done with a semester, guys.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Robel is apparently no longer teaching LP. It's Steele, Weng, and some new person. I would hope for Steele if I was a 1L. I feel so helpless for these poor souls, they can't even get out from a Baude class.

Re: Indiana University - Bloomington students taking questions
If you do have Baude for Con law, just enjoy his stories and then go home and read the supplement he recommends. You won't get much out of the actual class.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
