No idea. Emailed them today and their quoted response was "The first year course enrollments from the University Student Center were not final and should not have been available". Sort of odd. Regardless, still super excited to be heading to Ithaca in a few days.

(1) Civil Procedure - Holden-Smith
(2) Constitutional Law - Dorf
(3) Contracts - Hillman
(4) Lawyering - Atlas
(5) Torts - Heise

Thanks!

(1) Civil Procedure - Holden-Smith -- Clermont's Black Letter Outline
(2) Constitutional Law - Dorf -- Chemerinsky's Constitutional Law: Principles & Policies
(3) Contracts - Hillman -- Hillman's Principles of Contract Law
(4) Lawyering - Atlas -- Don't need anything except what's required.
(5) Torts - Heise -- Didn't have Heise, but I didn't use any hornbooks in Torts, and don't regret it

Also, don't be over-reliant on hornbooks. My grades improved significantly when I stopped using them.

phone a friend

but really - just post that you wanna go and will buy them lunch there and they will take you.

the bus is cumbersome.

alternatively, rent a car through the car share thing

edit: post = on facebook; they = someone with a car

Case in point: I literally just got back from driving someone to Wegmans.

Also switched out of Section B. Angry.

I'm still lolling at the "past due" balance I have for tuition. Were they expecting me to put up the cash first, and wait to be reimbursed?

For Contracts you could seriously never go to class or read a case, take good notes on Hillman's hornbook, and get an A. No joke.

Were you the 1L I helped find his book locker? Because I had a difficult time helping him find it too.
