1L Exam Prep and Motivation Thread Forum

[gdane]

Making pretty good progress on K's. I mean, I haven't paid attention all semester so I have a lot of work, but I got a last burst of motivation. Slogging my way through Battle o' the Forms and Parol (NO E) Evidence right now.

Hopefully I can sustain this through tomorrow too. And then blessed freedom.

Let me know if Battle of the Forms gives you problems.

i still don't get these torts cases, like ones for products liability or defenses based on plaintiff's conduct. Its like many of the cases can turn on just a simple word and Im failing to find a pattern to these mbe questions.

just in general it seems like every question on the Feb 1991 MBE and 2008 MBE is a random answer that I can't understand why that specific answer choice was correct

our funny professor said "if you use an E on the exam, you will look STUPID, so please don't do that"

I think "parol" is form the French "parole", which means "word" or "oral", so "parole" actually makes more sense to me. Our contracts casebook made the point that "precedent" is pronounced preceedent. I've never heard anyone pronounce it that way, though.

New law school pickup line:

"Hey baby, youre certainly not barred from using parole evidence on me."

I had a pick up line after first semester:

"Hey baby, Im bottom half, because I like my women on top", and then I later found out all of the women in the top half of the class were either weird or married, or just super old.

[gdane]

Haha! Thats a good one! Im stealing it.

Another one: "Hey baby, lets go out. I'm hung like a jury."

randomly kiss a girl and tell her "I have a little child in me, and those lips are an attractive nuisance."

Hahahaha!!! Great torts one! Awesome!

if only law school women were hot. 6 people in our class have started dating. now at the close of 1L, there are still 5 women who are single, and 20ish guys. Clearly those 5 are not worth going after or else they would have been asked out in the 24 weeks that is 1L

Or, maybe they WERE asked out and decided they weren't desperate enough to go out with the first person that asked them?

Or maybe they didn't want to date law students because law students are terrible people?

At this point I'm more concerned about nailing exams, not girls.

in that case, good thing I didn't ask out that one girl. Then again she wasn't that hot and seeing her for such a long time day after day just made her seem more appealing.

exams..yes those things. Super important and will determine alot of things for a long time, basically all of our work life.

Not really

Im hoping this isnt the case. There is a girl in my class I'm dying to ask out after finals.

seems like law girls are likely to go out with a guy even if he's just average if he is a genuinely nice guy.

sorry for derailing the thread. Back to studying.

Im listening to my professors audio lecture while going through his outline.

Dunzo with year one. Already had a couple beers. Taking a break now to rest and recover, then it's back to drinking in a little.

Good luck to everyone still studying. I'll be cheering you on from my drunken stupor.
