Closed book, that's way harsh. Otherwise, yeah, 3 hours & 100% is where it's at.
Best of luck Gem!! Admin's a bit of a bitch isn't it? Privative clauses, jurisdictional error, procedural fairness, improper purposes...

Yeah I meant 60/65 of working on law stuff! That's a big relief, thanks.
Lawyers are helpful on this thread!

I can of course gloat because I've finished all my exams but I might get a kick in the rear, near the end of summer if I find out I failed my evidence exam, studying for I forewent, in order to watch "love & death" with alba, ally c, RJG, & beer set about studiously and efficiently.

I think this is the way it's supposed to be - it's almost always gonna be a bit of a trivial technical point anyway yeah?
Glad it all went okay - snatch an hour to yourself tonight!

i'm getting a very good recommendation from a former philosophy professor and she said i MUST apply to NYU. i tried telling her i am not smart enough but she said that's garbage and girls always say they aren't smart enough. hmm ok i think i will make it a mega-reach. oh i also don't have 37k a year or whatever.

Anyway, so I've been reading for her, and it's been interesting, since I do very well at it -- I mean I'm not entirely sure, since she gets double time because she has to hear it instead of read it, and I keep forgetting that I'd have to work everything out twice as fast. Still, the fact that I'd probably do very well on the test makes me think I should take the test -- and yet I have no interest in going to law school.
Doing logic games when you have almost no eyesight and can't read your diagrams reliably is no fun at all.

for now i think i'm definitely applying to george washington, u. of washington, ohio state, boston university, and u. of michigan. i'm still thinking about this, though. if i did very well on the LSAT i will apply to NYU and berkeley, but i feel like my chances of getting into either of them are pretty bad. i'm also pretty worried about financing this venture. i want to do something public interest-y like human rights or poverty, but i might leave with a buttload of loans and have to defend fat rich guys for 10 years while i pay $1000/month. i don't mind at all being poor as long as i'm not in debt. this sucks.
sorry for making this my personal law school application diary, i just want the internet to know.

where do they usually list jobs (nyc). obv, i haven't seen any listings on idealist.org. any help would be greatly appreciated.
eisbar and others seemed to make it seem like the jobs aren't too hard to find.

colin, from what you've posted it's sounds like the experience of paralegal work will turn me off the profession, but it seems worth a look.
i still can't quite wrap my head around why the big firms are so awful, but i don't doubt the claims
