Re: NYU Law Class of 2011
I think he's just a visiting professor (he'll be spending the spring @ UC I believe).
Our section doesn't have him, but I've heard he's a dick WRT the socratic method.

Re: NYU Law Class of 2011
No, I don't want to stalk anyone. I visited NYU last Friday and a man named Michael Rojas (I think, its something like that) gave a presentation. He didn't say what his position was within the admissions department but he spoke with authority on what they want to see in applications. I want to cite his name and title in an e-mail request for a fee waiver. Any help would be appreciated, NYU-er's.

Re: NYU Law Class of 2011
You're thinking of Michael Ramos, Associate Director of Admissions
Michelle Adorno is the Director of Admissions
Good luck! Three weeks in, I love this school.

Re: NYU Law Class of 2011
Epstein is great, his methodology seems to be immersion via socratic method, and it is scary for sure, but he means well. He has a good attitude and seems to care about us learning his legal theory of torts by all means necessary. He hates on the negligence system incessantly. I have seen a pretty good sampling of douches so far this year, but Epstein is not one of them.zeezoo wrote:yea apparently he is the biggest douche of all the 1L profs (Miller is a douche, but sort of comical so its fine)

Re: NYU Law Class of 2011
I think torts is probably the easiest class. If the sample problem that was given was indicative of the kind of stuff we'll encounter on the exam, I would expect a fair number of people to pickup 80-90% of available points on the it--contrast this to McKenzie's exam last year where the best paper only got 66% of the available points. Of course the fact that everything is curved suggests that studying for procedure might have a higher return.

Re: NYU Law Class of 2011
The shop owners were generally nice though we did get some flack for being from a law school rather than an authentically needy UG. All said, it was a pretty pointless exercise. We wasted 3 hours to procure at best $150 worth of merchandise--I would have preferred to donate $40 to the school out of pocket.underdawg wrote:how did everyone do in their shakedown of local businesses all in the name of public interest?

Re: NYU Law Class of 2011
Email today said the admin is looking at a new curve to bring the school in line with its peers. In addition, they're considering adding A+ to the scale.
My thoughts: an upwards adjustment of the curve will provide a tiny advantage to those at the bottom of the class (I think a 3.0 looks better than a 2.9, even if its exactly the same WRT class rank), assuming we're looking at a uniform shift in the distribution. I think the addition of A+ to the scale, though it will no doubt have zero affect on me, will be a net positive for the school; judges will be able to better discern the stars in the top 5%.

Re: NYU Law Class of 2011
clerkships seem to be a big area of improvement for NYU, so an A+ could go a long way to helping the top students out in that area.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
