Welcome back to another edition of Fridays From The Frontline, Clear Admit’s fascinating foray into the the law blogosphere. This week’s bloggers had a number of things on their minds, from birthdays to the myriad ways current students are preparing for their upcoming exams.
Legal eagle hopeful MRS turned 25 and felt old. Fellow aspirant, Ricky Nelson, heard about Berkeley’s recent tuition increase and shared his thoughts on how that does or does not change his plans to apply to the school. NYU ’12 Reckless dreamed about civil procedure jurisdiction and found that her dream self had a good grasp on the material. Columbia ’12 Soleil was glad that her locker problems of last week were not entirely in her imagination. NYU ’12 Invisible Man found that riding the Staten Island ferry was a cheap way to find a little quiet time to think. Miami ’12 Goateed 1L ventured to another school’s campus and courtrooms to study for his exams. NYU ’12 IDWSJ compared himself to an outdated Terminator, explained when law school would really become worthwhile and had a lot to do before exams. North Carolina ’12 TDot found himself using Lexis Nexis just for fun. 1L Ricky Nelson witnessed a classmate’s ingenious method of watching television during class.
3L (In)Sanity Gal found that becoming a law student had taken away the time for her to work out or be creative, but saw the bright side in this situation. 3L Nobody got a kick out of a photographer’s experience with leopard seals, and had a few things to say about the journal editing process. Austin ’11 Mariel entered a courthouse for the first time to fulfill a class assignment. 2L Laura loved Google for a number of reasons, one of which was the free legal research resources it now provides. 2L Huma wondered whether readers would be interested in reading her ‘Law Skool Musical.’ 2L New Law Mom attended an ABA negotiation competition and found that her definition of negotiation and that of her competitors were very different. 2L The Exit counted her law school blessings, among them Hulu and her laptop. 2L Circumlocutions had an idea on how Twitter could better serve its corporate clients. 2L Casebook Sherpa thought that some readers might like to know about the latest development in fantasy leagues and gambling: taking bets on the Supreme Court. 2L Josh looked at the proposed changes to the Federal Rules of Evidence, and found a few possible problems. 2L Kel expressed her worries over having the same job interview as her friends, and felt that her resume was chock full of competitions. Minnesota ’11 Jansen took his dog, Harley, on a walk and worked through some the reasons he was, and was not, going to law school.
As the days leading up to exams dwindle, we hope that all current students find their own perfect study space and method, and that those in the application process are getting the most out of each day. If you are a current student, or law school aspirant, and you want to be included in our weekly round-up, just email b0b@clearadmit.com. Until next week, good luck and have a great weekend!
