Re: Texas 2013
I really want my schedule sometime soon. I would prefer to be able to shop around for the best price on books rather than simply buying them across the street.entrechatsix wrote:i'm pretty sure it's two days
Is it that noticeable this is my first time paying for my own school? LoL

Welcome. Seems like a lot of us are going to be moving in about then; coincidentally, that's when the awesomeness will begin in full.ohnoes wrote:Hey future classmates!

Cool. I'll be moving *down* around the 15th...giving a week to find a place before orientation. I hope I'm not cutting it too close.ohnoes wrote:Hey future classmates!

I am sad I will miss the Wednesday meetup by a day--does anyone want to have dinner on Thursday? We'll be in town Thursday and Friday, and maybe Saturday...not leaving till we sign a lease, dammit.

Section assignments are not due to be released until Thursday, August 5, 2010. Your assignments will include, course, instructor's name, section, small group as well as society information. Section assignment information will be accessible via your account status.
Hopefully that should give us all enough time to do some discount book shopping!

I'm hoping to invite all y'all over in a week or so...once I get my place put together.

Re: Texas 2013
Hi all! I was wondering if I could join you guys on Wednesday? I've been here since July 1 and I don't know anyone here! It'd be nice to meet some of my future classmates!

Re: Texas 2013
Hey everybody! Generally I work on Wednesdays so no happy hour for me
Anyone down for meeting up next Monday or Tuesday?
It's going to be so strange when I don't have a full-time job anymore...my last day of work before the semester is August 9. (Though, I suppose, LS does count as a full-time job!)

Damn! Classes haven't even started and I'm already behind.

Re: Texas 2013
Thanks, but I wasn't really asking about the 'information' part. I kinda figured that "society information" would be about what society we belong to. I was wondering more about what these societies are all about. What is involved in being a member of these things? What do they do? What do we do as members?entrechatsix wrote:probably just what society we're in

Re: Texas 2013
My understanding is that they are designed as a way to break up the size of UT and encourage us to get to know one another and to provide an upperclassman for anything we need as well. That is just my guess though -any 2L's available to answer?macunaima wrote:Thanks, but I wasn't really asking about the 'information' part.

Re: Texas 2013
BTW, I found the answer to my question. If anyone else was puzzled, here it is:
http://www.utexas.edu/law/depts/admissi ... eties.html
http://www.utexas.edu/law/depts/admissi ... eties.html
The Society Program was initiated in 2004 to build a sense of community within the Law School and to allow students to better interact with faculty in small groups.
There are eight societies in all, with 100 students in each society (50 from each class). Each society has a faculty advisor and a student program coordinator who plan activities for their groups. The activities vary depending on the faculty adviser and the interests of the students, but every society has social, academic/professional, and public service activities. The 1st-year members of each society are split into two mentor groups of 25 apiece. Each mentor group is headed by an upper-class law student mentor, who serves as advisor and counselor throughout the entire year. The mentors also welcome incoming first year law students during the summer before law school begins and host get-togethers prior to Orientation.
The societies are named for individuals closely associated with the Law School, such as Gloria Bradford, the first African American female to graduate from UT Law, Carlos Cadena, a 1940 graduate who was a respected judge and civil rights crusader, and Leon Green, a 1915 graduate who was one of the Twentieth Century's most important torts scholars
