Top Law Schools

a 3L should know how law school works for gods sake...why even ask?? i am not friends with this person, i just sit next to him/her in class. FML. and its not just sharing with this person, but i know this person's friends are all stupid too.

I forgot just how creepy looking he is

Pay it forward, bro.

shit, i guess im looking for responses as to wtf im supposed to say to this person.

No one will ever outperform you with your own outline, so it's not like you are going to shoot yourself in the foot. Go ahead and share it, it's good Karma. You never know when the other student or one of their friends will help you out in the future. Dumb people get lucky.

I'm always willing to share my outlines and notes.

+1. I think the above is prob true. At least for me, it seems outlining is way more about the process than about the product. I think you prob got a lot more out of creating the outline than someone else will get from using it.

I think you should share them. An outline in itself is just a stack of paper with words on them. It is the process of making it that gives you the advantage; an advantage they will never gain since they will just be hawking off you.

Not always true...

But if you are in a position where you don't have to worry about grades, why not share them?

you are being very undood if you don't share your outlines.

very very undood.

I don't think I'd have the balls to even ask someone for their own personal outline.

However, as painful as it would be, I'd probably still give it to 'em.

I think you have to share if they ask, even if it makes them D-Bags. I think personal outlines are off limits because you actually put the time into making it, unlike outlines passed on from older students where you did nothing to make them.

Just my 2 cents.

On that note MBusch I'll be needing copies of all your outlines in triplicate, preferably spiral bound with blue cover sheets. Tabs are optional but encouraged. I'll be expecting them by Wednesday after Property.

Why would you help someone in class do better than you lol? It's one thing to help someone on an issue or a question, or do practice tests with them or just answer questions, but give them your entire outline? lol.

Tell 'em to go fuck themselves

this is so far the most convincing argument for me to share

At this point, does a possible marginal hit to your GPA (and I mean really marginal, and quite unlikely) hurt you more than the good will you will get from the asker and his friends for sharing?

That's how you have to frame it in your mind. If you already have a job lined up, etc., and aren't scrapping for a position right now, then I don't see why you wouldn't.

b/c i came to class everyday, took meticulous notes, did the readings (well, most), etc. it's not so much a loss to me im concerned about - its the UNJUST ENRICHMENT for the person AND his/her friends who didnt put in the time.

EDIT: i love gchat and online shopping just as much as everyone else!!

right, i agree, it wont hurt me at all. but just seems unfair in terms of enrichment for them (see above). and i dont want to be a moral hazard for this other person either.

I don't get why people have hardons for their own outlines, its not like you're that smart where its going to make a difference for someone.

normally, u'r right my precious outline is not going to bump their B to a B+...but with this particular person i really think it will make a difference lol

Glad to know my classmates are so share-friendly.

i never had anybody ask until now!!!

For what it's worth, I know two current judges that were at the bottom of their law school class. Just saying.

ok im going to sleep now, but i decided i will share my outline. i made my decision based 98% on FiveSermon's reason. other 2%: i realized that in the classes i got A's, i didnt even use my outline during the exam.

Haha touché.

Part of it is not wanting to share my hard work but most of it is putting my outline out there for someone else to look at and criticize. I'd much rather work together with someone to make an outline than make one and share it with them
