are we allowed to post a past exam our teacher has on our web portal in order to get feedback from other posters?

That's up to your prof.

7hr crim exam tomorrow. Should have killed myself before my open memo was due and before civpro wanted to make me take my own life.

Sex the night before your final exam.

Good idea?

Bad idea?

[clintonius]

Absolutely. Blow off some steam and relax yourself for a solid night's sleep.

I don't think you'll have to worry about that one.

This just in - using claim preclusion as a way to strengthen the holding in Gibbs for 1367a is apparently legit. My teacher blew my mind with this, figured I'd share.

Also, why can't I sleep anymore.

Can't. Bring. Myself. To. Study.

From my outline:

ii. The modern trend in [claim preclusion] is to force claimants to package claims into a single case along transactional lines. § 24(1) of the RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF JUDGMENTS considers a claim to encompass all rights to relief “with respect to all or any part of the transaction, or series of connected transactions, out of which the action arose.” The drafters of this definition state that a transaction is “a natural grouping or common nucleus of operative fact”
1. Stress a pragmatic approach: close connection in time, space, origin, or motivation” – taken together whether they form a convenient unit for trial purposes

Not necessarily ground breaking, but she said it's a way to help apply Gibbs, which is extremely vague in terms of application/language.

After a series of OCS distractions, dinner, and other stuff I didn't start studying until about 9. Feel so bad.

[traehekat]

Anyone else finish an exam feeling relatively good about it, but then you kind of think that you didn't write down anything earth shattering so everything you wrote couldn't have been much different than anyone else's? Obviously I just have to move on to the next exam, but I'm just curious if this is a common feeling.

[Borhas]

2 down just one more to go

At least you were doing stuff. I'm just staring at my outline / practice problems.

First exam tomorrow. Scared shitless.

Torts racehorse tomorrow. Joy.

So ugh, my torts exam had a problem on the final pulled exactly from a "problem case" in the case book. It was a negligence per se problem. The answer for the defendants admitted they were in violation of the statute. The injured person was within the protected class and the injuries were exactly the sort the statute was designed to prevent. No viable excuses present either.

Too easy?

I just re-read the problem case from the torts book. It was no different than the question on the exam. I mean, different names, different location. Same injuries, same manner, same statute, however.

Talked it over w/ my study partner and she agreed.

Wow, that's terrible, soo unfair to the people who haven't seen it. That's something that people would have complained about if it happened on a final in a high school class...

Yeah, suicide is pretty funny...
