Yes. Someone texted me around 7:30 and told me they were there. I don't know when they showed up.quakeroats wrote:Just to confirm, are you saying you have all your grades in?wiseowl wrote:Perhaps for some reason 2Ls got grades early. Not sure.

I used to think that friendo, but after grading your casenotes for the last month, it should be harsher.los blancos wrote:sigh... this is why LARW shouldnt be graded

Re: Duke Class of 2013
How does this work? I assume all or nearly all of you have jobs this summer. We turned in our notes on May 17th. When do you have time to read and grade them?wiseowl wrote:I used to think that friendo, but after grading your casenotes for the last month, it should be harsher.los blancos wrote:sigh... this is why LARW shouldnt be graded

Re: Duke Class of 2013
So they just hand you your portion of the stack and give you a month or so to go through them? Also, when should we expect to hear back?wiseowl wrote:That's a great question.

Re: Duke Class of 2013
My biggest complaint about LARW and the casenote, etc... (though I understand why they do this) is that you can't have anyone else read it. Of course the casenotes you are looking at have problems, because the best writing is usually produced when someone objective gives you feedback.wiseowl wrote:I used to think that friendo, but after grading your casenotes for the last month, it should be harsher.los blancos wrote:sigh... this is why LARW shouldnt be graded

I heard from an exclusive journal on July 22. Non-exclusives can take longer to trickle in.

Also, 4.0 in contracts, from (presumably) the same professor.

1. Grading casenotes was probably one of the most horrible things I've had to do in law school, right up there with general journal work.wiseowl wrote:That's a great question.

2. I want bowling and softball to start ASAP.

Re: Duke Class of 2013
How did everyone's bidlists turn out? I'm shocked I managed to convert over 15, but most of those are on just one day.

Re: Duke Class of 2013
I'm happy with it. Got all 1-14, plus a couple more. Heavy emphasis on TX and some NC and Chicago, didn't bid NYC or CA. I think I only missed one or two that I would have really liked to have--no complaints here.quakeroats wrote:How did everyone's bidlists turn out?

OTOH, doing 15+ interviews sounds less fun than root canals. We'll see if I can pretend to be well-adjusted and enthusiastic for that amount of time...

Re: Duke Class of 2013
I got 15, and didn't do 30 bids. However a lot of the firms I bid on that were less competitive, I didn't get. So we will see.

You're going for PI right? It must be nice to have firm jobs as a backup plan. I hear you can accept a firm job while you work on finding a PI slot too.Reedie wrote:Not a big firm fan anyway.

Re: Duke Class of 2013
Btw, the Career Services email mentioned waitlists. Is anyone on a waitlist? I'm either not on any or they aren't showing up--or hell, maybe I don't know where to look.
edit: Everyone's on the waitlists for firms they didn't get. It's one of the drop-down menus on the site.

I got 19. What is the "opt-in" option? A waitlist? It's for all the other firms we bid on?

Same. Except I actually did 30 and managed to get some of the seemingly less competitive ones. Seems random.Reedie wrote:I got 15, and didn't do 30 bids. However a lot of the firms I bid on that were less competitive, I didn't get. So we will see.

Firms are a backup as far as I'm concerned.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
