Also, please post the full letter mentioned above. And wtf is this speech you have to write? Do you all actually have to give speeches during orientation? Need details!
Jesus Christ I would totally just not do this. What are they going to do. "No, we don't want your $70,000 for each of the next three years."

Re: Chicago Law Class of 2017
There are suggested topics along with background material for each of the topics. This really doesn't seem like a big deal. I can see it totally sucking for people who are moving closer to the start of orientation, though.

Yeah whatever I'd rather just wing 5 minutes of talking about random shit than have to do any actual work for orientation

We had to do second city improv class but that at least required no prep.

Lol that's funny. Not a single person asked me about that--I guess I should be happy about that.Regulus wrote:I had been to enough lunch talks that I figured I might as well get it, and orientation alone was over half the points anyway.
I actually regret getting it though because 1) that ceremony was boring as hell, and 2) I think it actually hurt me during interviews because like five firms asked what it was and even with a proper explanation, it still sounded like a derpy thing to have.

But seriously (not that the above is not serious) they're all pretty good professors.

Everybody is great. Seriously. Although Helmholz may destroy your GPA; idk we didn't have him.

Re: Chicago Law Class of 2017
While studying for Baird's class I enjoyed reading the amazon reviews of his casebook for comic relief:
http://www.amazon.com/Henderson-Contrac ... +contracts
http://www.amazon.com/Henderson-Contrac ... +contracts
LolOverall: The book is borderline useless for its advertised purpose. The cases are poorly edited, not just the cases from pre-US either, modern cases are edited in such a way that you will read pages and pages and page trying to figure out what the judge is trying to say only to realize they really didn't say anything because the editors edited out the important bit. Even a simple case like Nichols v. Raynbred (a case it which the contract is dead simple, a cow for 50 shillings) is edited so poorly you'll be confused as to what the agreement was until you read a supplement. During the course you'll find the book more useful as a paperweight. After the course (assuming you haven't thrown it off a cliff or burned it at the stake by then) you'll find it most useful to put on your bookshelf to make yourself look smarter when friends and relatives visit.
^ sums up my feelings about his class as welljust skim the cases and read chirelstein and farnsworth. this casebook is an absolute joke and will teach you more about the market for whaling oil in nantucket (seriously - see the section on gardner v gray) than the law of contract, whatever that may in fact be
