Loyola Law School Class of 2014 Forum

[NoleinNY]

Fun fact, apparently is #2 in LA and #25 in the country in terms of partners in NLJ100 firms. What does his mean? Not much, except that we have a decent alumni network.

and large class sizes.

Yes, it does.

Speaking of classes: I am selling my 1L books!!!
I have Crim Law Glanon (Levenson), Property Law Gilberts guide (helpful for Trisolini), Contracts casebook (Farnsworth), Con Law e&e, Crim Law casebook (led &harris)

PM me if any of you need those books!

[gothamm]

Did anyone here get in off the waitlist or know anyone who has?

Me. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go, but I'm a little late in the game in getting to know everybody and hanging out pre-orientation.

all that stuff is irrelevant. you should probably go, if its where you want to be. its not like you got the phone call a week after classes started...

True. Besides I don't need law school friends, I already have plenty.

Anyways, when exactly is orientation? The acceptance letter said it was Aug. 16th-18th but the 'New Admits Weblog' says it's from Aug. 15th-19th. This is actually important for me as I'm currently in DC and need to decide when to get back. As I haven't paid my seat deposit yet I can't access any of the schedules.

don't worry about friends. you'll make plenty. In fact hit me up if you decide to go. Orientation is aug 16 (tue) and aug 18 (thur).

Is it just me or are other people having trouble printing out the orientation homework e-book?

[spicymeatball111]

Don't know.. I was just planning on printing those two pages we had to do the exercise, but my program won't let me.

If you go to graphics on campus (FH basement), they will give you a hard copy of the orientation assignment in this little booklet.

I was going to go a bit more casual than that. Not jeans, but not suit/business casual either.

[Shammis]

Got in off the WL today, excited to see you guys tomorrow. They haven't emailed me anything yet, so if anyone could PM me the HW for tomorrow that would be great! And I was going with Jeans tomorrow...is that too casual? I didnt think so but...

[david787]

The orientation homework is through Adobe Digital Editions which is locked with DRM so you can't print or on a Kindle, iPad, etc etc.

I'm going more on the casual side, unless I can find a t-shirt somewhere that says "in off the waitlist." Thursday I may consider a little "dressier" as it ends at 6:30 and hopefully there will be some drinking afterwards unless nobody likes me.

Congrats. I know you really wanted it.

That's what I was thinking too. Tuesday = casual because it ends pretty early, Thursday = dress better.

So, what professors did you get?

Natapoff (Crim Law), Caplan (Civ Pro), Kim (Torts), Trisolini (Property)

Any experience with these profs? Or heard anything?

hello fellow d4er!

[balls]

also, im thinking that if we cant print the homework, they shouldnt expect it to be done.

Section 4! See ya tomorrow!

It's pretty lame that they didn't just give us a pdf or some format where we can print... I just happened to go to graphics on Friday to get the coursepack for CivPro and the guy gave me the orientation reading pamphlet (identical to the adobe digital editions file they made us download...). If this pamphlet was available, and they didn't inform anyone of its existence, they should have mailed it to everyone or something...

[Judge Philip Banks]

Is everyone bringing their computer/backpack/whatever to orientation? Forget about what clothing to wear. I don't want to be the one loser who brought my backpack and computer!

[david787]

I'm only bringing my computer on Thurs because that's when I signed up for the computer training thing, I wouldn't bring it before that as you won't be able to access their network until the training.

I also really wish they wouldn't use Adobe Digital Editions, it is simply one of the worst reading platforms out there.

[Shammis]

Yeah...what is everyone bringing for tomorrow...I might just put my stuff in my car just in case...

and Section 3 anyone?

i will be bringing mine for notes on the legal analysis sessions. That and other miscellaneous info. Could come in handy.
