Are "In re Lamberis" and "Application of Taylor" products of tenth-generation photocopies? It feels like I'm reading documents composed entirely from captchas.Iconoclast wrote:Stinky legal writing diagnostic assignment is stinky!

Is this an oversight? Text is given for the three cases pending but the sixth paragraph refers to them as "the four cases."Iconoclast wrote:Stinky legal writing diagnostic assignment is stinky!

Did everyone's loan/scholarship amounts total 58k or 68k? I remember people mentioning that they were able to take out an extra 10k, but I only was able to receive a total of 58k.

Good argument, but I still vote for oversight. Paragraph two says "three cases," paragraph six says "four cases."chrisokc wrote:One of the cases has two parties.DavidB wrote:Is this an oversight? Text is given for the three cases pending but the sixth paragraph refers to them as "the four cases."

$68K, I believe. After scholarship and all, it looks like my refund will be a little over $13,600.

One is just the casebook
You need both the casebook and the CD... so I have no idea why they bother to list the book without the cd. Buy the one with the CD and ignore the other.

FYI the background reading for the lrw diagnostic is also available on google scholar. I find the two cases in the attached pdf to be too blurry to read. Google has it nicely typed out.

Are you part-time? If so, that's the reason why. Your tuition is lower, so your COA is lower.

Why are you people wasting good vacation time on this?
Work on it later, closer to class time.
