Great to hear! That's a good showing for our small section.

I'd better watch what I type then, since I'm pretty sure it's easy to figure out who I am.

I saw that! We meet at last.

How are people approaching the "universe of cases" material? I'm 2/3s of the way through but I don't think I should spend any more time on these cases until I know what I'm reading them for.

How are people approaching the "universe of cases" material?

I'm skimming. I think we'll have the next week or so to go through them in more depth. "Over a period of about three weeks all of you, regardless which side you represent, will 1) read and analyze a series of seven cases..." Operations Memo, 1 (2014).

Checkers, could you point me to a link where you are reading that? It sounds useful.

It's the first sentence of the second paragraph of the "Operations Memo 2014" document which was in the same folder as the cases. Since we're in different sections, you may or may not have that, or yours may be different.

We don't have that document. I wish we did. Oh well, I feel comfortable with the cases now.

how's the workload for everyone
finding it v hard to keep on track (then again i put off the early assignments, which is my bad)

[phillywc]

do i count as a floater

eta: I've found it as bad as you make it. It's a non-zero amount of work but we have fuck all else to do. I'm been procrastinating pretty bad but I feel like I have it under control.

I find the workload manageable if only because there's an actual expectation that you've done the reading. College was not like this. It motivates me.

They also don't assign pointless reading (barring the lawyering textbook which could easily be cut in half).

I've had tons of free time. I do the readings right after class (granted don't really take notes or re-read) and discuss them with friends later. Most of this stuff seems pretty introductory, maybe I'll be more swamped later..

So I figured this would be a hilariously late time to stop lurking and create an account. Hello!

(Also I didn't feel like doing anything productive before my next class)

[alinor]

best place to take a nap on campus? 9 am class is killing me

My orientation tour guide mentioned couches on the first floor of Furman. I think there's a lounge there.

soo what program is the best for doing our legal research (aka free stuff)?

I'm pretty tempted by the points system with Lexis...

I did the math based on my understanding of the program..

10 pts per day to search an article.
400 pts = $5

400/10 = 40 days

Assuming it takes 1 minute to search an article that's 40 mins spread out over 40 days to get $5. Or $7.50 per hour. Bloomberg gave us portable phone chargers tho...

So it will only take me 15.3 years to buy the cheapest west elm couch? Sign me up!

Does Westlaw no longer offer a points system? I seem to recall they used to...
