I don't think I've ever been as confused about anything in my life as I am about non-assignable/non-assumable executory contracts in bankruptcy and In re Catapult Entertainment. WTF?

I actually paid attention to that case since it had to do with video games. Basically the DIP (Catapult) wanted to assume a contract that would normally be nonassignable under federal law. But they didn't want to assign it. And they argued that since they didn't want to assign it, they should be able to assume it. (Actual test). But the court held that the plain meaning of the statute (365c1) called for a hypothetical test. If hypothetically the non-Dr party would be entitled to block assignment, then the DIP can't assume.

This is contrary to the intent of Congress, but they suck at drafting statutes so that's the law.

That was really helpful. Thank you so much.

Unfortunately I feel so screwed that I can't even calm down enough to focus right now. I've legitimately never felt to unprepared for something I've put so much time into. Time to cut my losses, try to get some sleep, and wake up tomorrow to take my terrible grade.

Fucking gunners, man

I feel like I was in all the gunner classes this semester. It sucked.

You're a transfer, of course you were

Those were the only classes left by the time we got to register .

And at least I didn't take admin .

I don't think I'm gonna be able to get more than 3-4 hours of sleep during this here final. Why is this taking me so long??? I have to have it done by noon tomorrow.

Try taking Admin, Tax, and Secured all in the same semester.

Better yet, don't.

I have already forgotten everything I attempted to learn for that exam.

Just about finished with my outlining and review for corporations exam on weds. So I popped open the practice exams and skimmed the questions and model answers. Don't understand the questions for shit, and the answers make no sense to me. This is going to be fun.

I'm never taking fed tax. Whether I take any corporate classes is still up in the air, though.

You probably still know more than I do.

Like I was going to pass the Bar exam anyway.

I made a big realization this semester, and that is I shouldn't be taking classes just because they sound important. I have no interest in these corporate classes. I will never be a tax lawyer, and I will never be a corporate lawyer. I felt no passion or enthusiasm for either subject and it was just painful to read and study for. On the other hand, I loved my employment law class because it is much more in line with the kind of law I want to practice. My schedule for next semester is much more in line with things that will be of interest to me. Hopefully it will make a difference.

Biz Orgs tomorrow, actually put a lot of time in because of the gunners in the class. There is a whole row known as law review Inc. which has been foaming at the mouth for this exam since September.

I can haz Appraisal Rights.

I am trying to take as few of the "core courses" that I'm "supposed to be taking" as possible.

[snowpeach06]

I am up at 5 right now after like 2 hours to sleep to try to finish this fucking take home before noon. Usually I'm super awake early in the morning, but, not at all right now. I've never hated an exam so much in my life.

[PirateCap'n]

Just failed an entirely multiple choice secured transactions exam. Yay!

[goosey]

my love of sleep is really messing things up for me...have an exam tomm and tax on friday---just woke up now and starting to study.

I slept in today too. I also had a dream that I got an offer at one of the places that dinged me post-CB. Awesome start to the day.

[BarbellDreams]

I've slept in every single day since classes were done. I don't really care, not like I'm putting in 12 hour study days anyway.

[moandersen]

Done and halfway drunk already. Got dominated by crim pro mc this morning. Who cares.

[Geist13]

One exam to go. Been studying for it for 5 days now. Outline done. Trying to do practice questions (no exams available and its multiple choice so other exams don't really help). Instead, I spent all morning watching seinfeld and arrested development. Fuck. How the hell are supposed to learn the tax code well enough so that you don't have to look up all the exceptions to each provision on exam day?

Oh yeah, I don't have a job and want to clerk so I have to do well. Double Fuck.

[goosey]

i am screwed. i hate tax.

[kaiser]

I wonder if you can essentially not do 1/4 of an exam and still avoid being bottom 10-15% of the class (i.e. avoid getting a B- or below). We will find out soon enough. Hopefully the 3/4 I answered was good enough so pull me out of that realm of failure.

Things aren't looking all that much better for corporations. Only the bottom 10% or so get B- or below, maybe 15% at worst. I don't think I'll be quite that low. But I guess I could just take a B and move on yet again. If I come out of this semester with A-, B, B, or B+, B, B, I don't think it would mean no-offer is around the corner. Next semester will be better (I hope...)

attention: con law masters --

Taking my first con law class this winter. Given the fact there are like 5 different con laws here, what are good supplements to read for a class with this description:

"This course analyzes the structure of American government, as defined through the text of the Constitution and its interpretation. The major subjects covered are the allocation of powers among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches; the function of judicial review; and the role of the states and the federal government in the federal structure."
