When we were learning about them in class, estates and future interests made absolutely no sense, but I'm amazed at how well I understand it just after outlining it. I figured it would be something that I'd pretty much never understand, but its definitely starting to make sense. I need to memorize all the different terminology though, and that's gonna be a bitch...

a good supplement is everything for estates and RAP. once you learn them you don't even really need to outline them.

I need some motivation. I don't know if it's burn out, but I'm not nearly as efficient as I was last semester....... Always going on hulu now or watching sports. Not even enjoying being stuck indoors. I slacked off a bit last finals season and did really well because of a great semester. This semester has been much more blah (how I feel about my performance in classes). It's just obvious I know way less compared to other people I know this time. Can this semester be fixed? If so, please give me the attack plan? I am willing to pay (through paypal) for a good solid schedule.

Start finals in exactly 2 weeks.

Does anyone have marketable title, implied warranty of h/q, duty to disclose, essays I could look at?

[Lacepiece23]

Idk Im actually more motivated because I'm less stressed this time around. Last semester if I did terrible I would have no job huge debt and basically be fucked. Because I did decent last semester I can really fuck up this semester (worst case) still be at median and hopefully be able to snag a job in NYC. Not ideal or what I want to do, but hey with less pressure and stress I'm actually happier studying then I was last semester where I felt like everything was life and death.

If only I could be at median and still get biglaw. Oh well, I shoulda done better in college. Grindin' away!

No, dude, it's awesome that you go to a good school. Don't apologize for that.

Top 15% should get me everything I need, even top 25% according to LST (though that gets a little dangerous). Sitting at top 10% atm, so just have to continue the good stuff.

Hey team. Question. When arguing the other side, do you think it is important even to argue the other side even if it is a super weak argument?

Hey team. Question. When arguing the other side, do you think it is important even to argue the other side even if it is a super weak argument?

yes, could be a point never know and it usually won't take more then a few seconds. I do it all the time just so the prof knows that I was aware of the weakass argument and can make the real point of the analysis.

edit: I definitely try to not flesh it out more then a quick sentence.

This.
Acknowledge. Get those points. Move on.

if you spent the time to think of the other side's argument (which you should be doing automatically), you have time to type it out. acknowledge that it's a weak argument, then move on.

Is it weird that I don't know how to fit Brown vs. Board of Education into my ConLaw outline? Does this make me a closet racist?

Racist.

But really... (1) I've just been OLing in the sections he's given us. Maybe Chem has a better way to organize it?

(2) I feel like there isn't enough time left to do everything, WTF

Hope everyone's grinding hard.
