Thanks

Man, I'm taking 10 credits this semester so yeah, I wouldn't worry about it.

Anyone have any comments on Presser, Lubet of Reddish? good, bad, indifferent?

Presser assigns an insane amount of reading for American Legal History

Fuck

I didn't read 90% of it. Just get an old outline and prepare possible essay answers ahead of time.

Anyone take BA with Horwich? If so, any insight on how to prep for his final?

Was the class at least interesting or would I be better off taking Narrative Structures which seems to be less reading intensive. Especially since I've heard my Con Law professor is no picnic.

Who do you have?

Just take narrative structures because I am. What did you hear about Con Law? Unless you mean there is a lot of reading, it doesn't really matter if a professor is "difficult"....see Cameron, David.

In fact, I actually prefer that that to say our Torts Class where everyone will probably do objectively well.

Clearly you are doing it right. This is the answer to 90%+ of all law school classes.

Yeah, I just know it's a ton of reading. Also, narrative structures meets on Friday, I like the idea of being done after CLR on Friday.

As far as WE goes, would 5 years of enlisted military experience in between my sophomore and junior years count? Or do they want post-undergraduate work. I worked my way up to a position where I was in a leadership role and "managed" people.

I'm pretty sure that they would count military service as work experience, whether it happened before, during, or after undergrad is probably not that important.

They count it.

Thanks, NW is my goal school, so nice to know there is one less roadblock in the way.

So I really like NW and would be applying next cycle. Also you guys ITT seem pretty awesome. Just one somewhat strange question regarding the famed work experience requirement. I'm going to be 28 by the time I would matriculate, but I spent 5 years as a professional poker player. I know a lot of people might use something like this as a BS alibi for accomplishing nothing, but I have verifiable results online, traveled all over to play, paid taxes on winnings, and even got on TV a couple times. So anyway, do you think they would regard this as legitimate work experience?

I have no idea, but if you do get in, there is no way youre invited to my home game.

Edited to be of some help: I would think that it would count as the purpose seems to be to have a more mature and "real-world" experienced class and from the perspective fo the travel, stress, and careful money management and decision making (career not in-game) needed to actually be successful it would accomplish that.

I'd consider it pretty fucking awesome work experience. I'd suspect they would too.

IMO that sounds pretty cool. If you do end up here, we have an annual auction where you could buy poker night with professors.

Please tell me your PS is awesome. I feel like you have the potential to write the 1:1,000,000 actually cool and interesting PS.

I think it should count. The only concern I could see them having is with the "legality" of online poker, especially after the 2006 UIGEA legislation. So if you did play online (which most of my friends who played that much did) then you should be careful how you address it.

Do some searching on TLS i'm pretty sure someone addressed it in terms of C&F, but I don't know if it's been discussed in terms of whether it counts as WE.

I haven't written it yet, but I have what I feel like is a very compelling narrative in mind.
