Reviews on the following professors? Also, if any 2Ls (or 3Ls for that matter) are selling old textbooks, please PM me with the condition, price, and any advice. Thank you so much!

(I realize most of these have been reviewed, but any extra information would be greatly appreciated.)

Because clsevals is taking forever to get back to me with a password, could someone give me the lowdown on these profs?

Heise
Eisenberg
Mooney
Meyler

Not to poison you, but Mooney is a terrible lawyering prof.

Reasonable minds may differ. There's a certain style to her teachings. Such as: don't start the assignments until the weekend before they're due, because she will probably change her mind about what she wants and what the assignment means.

Cheers.

Tip One: Never hand in anything late.
Tip Two: CREAC (You will find out what this is your first day of class. Follow the CREAC format to the letter and you'll be fine.)
Tip Three: See user name.

Also worth noting she does NOT teach bluebooking beyond the minimum. If you want to gun for law review, that's your business. So unlike every other section, you will NOT have bluebook tabbing classes.

She assigns Blue Booking assignments online though. However, the fact that they're ungraded and not due until the end of each semester means that most people leave them until the last minute and don't put much effort into the exercises. If you want to benefit from the exercises, it's up to you to put in the effort.

Also, if you want to learn how to tab your Blue Book, just ask someone in another section or an upperclassmen to show you theirs. I did this and it was fine. No one really knows how to cite until they go through the writing competition anyway.

Wut. Bluebook tabbing? What kind of class teaches you how to tab a book? Just put tabs where the contents change...I'm not sure I follow.

I don't even think I own a bluebook anymore.

Look, I'm not saying those matter in the end, just pointing out a difference

2L here who came back to Ithaca to get away from the crazy after a long week of interviews. If anyone has any questions or wants to meet, feel free to pm me. I'm leaving either tomorrow night or Sunday as I will be living out of hotels in NYC next week.

People are freaking out in the AJF thread. How is it looking so far for people you know?

I have a year off-campus lease on an apt. What are the summer sub-leasing prospects?

not great, but at least you'll have somewhere to leave your stuff. Basically the listserv completely blows up with people looking to sublet for summer and I don't know anyone who subletted.

You will be very lucky to be able to sublet your apartment. In addition to the list-serv, craigslist explodes too. There is just way, way more supply than demand. I was able to sublet mine for 2/3 of the cost, but I managed to have a very uniquely nice apartment and it was exactly what the sublettor was looking for. Almost everyone I know was not as lucky.

I sublet mine both summers, but yes, I did so at a substantial discount.
