Grades on the way...

January 02, 2009 17:22

The grades are flowing so much better than the winter of 2006-7 (oh the drama!). I wonder how the 1Ls feel about the general theory that finals are thrown down the stairs, and graded according to the step upon which they land. In light of my grades so far, I totally agree. Also, the best of luck...

Like Ikea...

Here is a post for your favorite professor quotes. Unfortunately, overheard in law school seems to have been abandoned- that used to be a great refuge from finals studying, along with guitar hero. I didn't track any quotes (or go to class all that much) but one of my favorite quotes was from my...

Businesses risking offending customers via political donations?

December 02, 2008 22:59

Per a request on prior post, here's a link to a daily camera story about protesting the Cinemark theater, because the owners donated in support of Prop 8.My first inclination is that it is bad business practice to support such contentious matters. But I must admit that as a left-wing voter, I...

Dear Santa:

These are the things I want, in no particular order:3L year to hurry up and be over. I know I'm not alone here.Separate curves in my classes per grade level. The 2Ls have energy and enthusiasm that I do not. Alternatively, a bonus given to 3Ls for sticking around. 10,000+ (ideally 14,000) on the...

Unfortunately I can't put music to the post title. Some of us have jobs, some have no jobs, some have biglaw jobs. I hope nobody gets an offer rescinded. I think career services is being proactive and doing their best in light of the economy. It would be nice to be hand-held into a job, but that...

Thoughts on this? LRAP donation, student lounge. Could someone please provide the amount of donation we would be looking at, or more details for student lounge?

The Official Bar Exam Results Anxiety Thread

September 29, 2008 23:34

Maybe it's just me, but I am really nervous about results. Anyway, I know you guys want to get rid of the Class of 2008; however, let us have our one last hurrah here on the Blawg. I'm curious if anyone's heard anything about when results will be out. (Translation: Those of you who work at the...

money, debates, worry

September 25, 2008 22:00

as suggested by an anon (thank you-) a politics/debate thread. Obviously the big issue now is our financial crisis. I actually wonder how many trillions in debt we already are, and if this is just a drop in the bucket (hope not). And if this will fix anything (have no idea). And if there is...

Employment

September 19, 2008 20:45

It has come to my attention via some friends that there may be a new movement in employment- namely that former employers are being told by HR consultants/reps/whoever that they should not write recommendations for employees. I know that one of my former employers will only affirm whether an...

I'd thought there was no chance for sex appeal in the presidential/vp race since Edwards' untimely affair scandal, but then McCain brought in his new runner-up beauty queen. But this is even better.
