I'm too scared of our prof bro. No chance I'm letting her call on me when I haven't read the case. For test prep, your way is probably much better.

Oh, I know. She is fucking crazy.

I'm just gonna bring my Chemerinsky text and recite from that if she calls on me lol.

oh you're such a badass. what will u do next

Haven't read a case all term. Can't start, won't start!

No need if you have a legit supp or the Internet.

Didn't take any practice test last semester. Probably should this time, but in my defense, it was college football season.

What classes do you guys have? Conlaw is a bitch to read for but Crim and Property are actually pretty interesting (and short and to the point!).

pretty similar dose: property, crim, con law and some bullshit like stat interp./legislative class.

I have these exact classes. I think Con and Crim are far more interesting than Property, even though my Con professor is dry as hell.

You can't be serious.

Totally serious. I mean, I've only done readings for two classes but so far, the cases are interesting and straight-forward. Fact patterns have been interesting enough as well.

Let's do this shit bro.

I completely agree actually. Also, just judging on my first week of readings, my elective choice may have been a mistake.

Which elective?

Con law is boring, and I haven't looked at any of my professors old exams yet, but I'm honestly wondering what the point of reading for it is. Seems like it would be even more useless than in other classes, since I imagine the interpretation of the constitution that SCOTUS does is basically what we'll be expected to do on our exams? But who knows, maybe I'm way off. I hate my crim textbook (I think most people in my section, and even my professor, also hate it haha), so reading for that is a bitch. Don't want to out myself by reveling my 2 electives, but one of them doesn't really have much reading, while the other has a lot (but I skim basically everything that isn't the cases).

Overall, reading this semester isn't too bad, but also because I'm not really worrying about it at all. Its the 3rd week of my semester though, so I'm thinking in the next week or 2 I should start outlining. Need to improve from last semester (medianpwned, but I'm not TOO worried about that since I'm at Penn), but not really sure where to start since I haven't even gotten my exams back yet.

[UnamSanctam]

I am going to like this semester far, far more than last semester. No more K's, Torts, or Civ Pro.

[SportsFan]

All 3 of my exams last semester were basically issue spotter essays. This semester, 2 of my 4 finals will be multiple choice, and one of my others is so completely open book/notes that he's letting us use the internet during the exam, which seems kinda crazy haha. No idea if this stuff will favor me or not, but last semester I felt like I had become good at issue spotting and knowing the BLL but probably lost points in my analysis (I'll know for sure after I get my exams back on Monday), so hopefully it will.

IMMA CSWS the FUARK OUTTA THIS SEMESTER BROS n' BRAS

who's down for some #earlysemesterefficientCSWSpreparation

followed by #CSWSexamgrindin later in the semester?

I'm trying so hard to be as productive I was last semester early on, but I'm failing miserably so far.

dudes, con law blows. i feel like it should be interesting but it's... just not.

Disagree, but my professor's Socratic makes Socrates look like a court jester.

Low expectations are key. I knew going into law school that con law would suck. It's occasionally not terrible.
