offtopic, but is anyone gunning for a transfer?

[Doorkeeper]

Eww. I immediately assume I hate anyone who likes classes like that. Same with conlaw.

Sorry bro, I hate potus/scotus/academic/bureaucrat wannabes.

So basically only biglawl bros for soj?

(Because we all know PI is a myth)

[soj]

I just don't like gunners, including biglaw gunners. But yeah, pretty much every non-biglaw legal job requires gunning, so that narrows the field a lot.

I am a Capitol Hill gunner.

Why are you impersonating Doorkeeper?

[LetsGoLAW]

I'm an in-house gunner.

I am a Capitol Hill gunner. The legislature is prole.

FTFY.

FWIW: The people who want fed gov and are gunning are either delusional or not doing it right. General gunning is useless for most fed gov (minus prefstigious DOJ and in-agency appellate work). Networking matters a lot more for Capitol Hill and (most) agency work. Targeted gunning in a specific class would only be beneficial if your prof is connected.

I'm starting to get the swing of admin bros. What that really means is I've started to pay attention. CSWS

Those of us fortunate enough to have P/F legal writing: credited amount of time to spend on drafting appellate brief? 10 hrs.? The research is done, I just have to write it, and I have a week and a half. I have next to no interest in this thing and need to schedule a reasonable time limit for myself.

Hour per page max. Preferably 20-30 minutes per page.

Seeing as how I pretty much did my memo first semester in 5-6 hrs from scratch, I say 5-6 hours.

I spent 3-4 hours going from outline to rough draft.

This is what I'll probably end up doing which will just result in

3-4 hours going from outline to rough draft

There isn't enough gunner in me to do what I should do and start ahead of time.

If anyone is using the Kadish casebook for Crim, I have an OL from a 2L who booked the class. It's more of a supplement than an OL since it's obsceeeeeenely long, but it may be helpful for review and for constructing your own OL.

Oh wow, can you please send me???? I can PM you my email
