Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
Can someone give me an example schedule of what your week looked like during your 1L fall semester?

So if I understand that correctly, the letters in brackets [A] are your cohort and if I get put in A then I'd only have those classes?splitterfromhell wrote:https://law.wustl.edu/registrar/coursed ... 1Lgrid.pdfReid-Bailey wrote:Can someone give me an example schedule of what your week looked like during your 1L fall semester?

Correct. But those sections are further subdivided for Legal Practice and Legal Research Methodologies.Reid-Bailey wrote:So if I understand that correctly, the letters in brackets [A] are your cohort and if I get put in A then I'd only have those classes?splitterfromhell wrote:https://law.wustl.edu/registrar/coursed ... 1Lgrid.pdfReid-Bailey wrote:Can someone give me an example schedule of what your week looked like during your 1L fall semester?

Thank you. Final clarification - if I was put in section A under that schedule, I'd have Property class 4 times a week?splitterfromhell wrote:Correct.

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
Yes. For my year sometimes a section would have a class for 54 minutes each time and four times a week; sometimes it would have a class for 72 minutes each time and three times a week.Reid-Bailey wrote:Thank you.

When do we usually find out what section we are in? And is there any reasoning behind what section you are put in or just random?

Just checked my e-mail. Last year it was 8/18. I have no idea about the reasoning behind.Reid-Bailey wrote:sirenade wrote:Yes.

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
So there is basically no way I can buy my books "early" (i.e. soon) because I don't know what section I'll be in?sirenade wrote:

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
You won't know until you can see the professor's syllabus too (limited by when they decide to put it online). Usually you will get an email from your professor telling you what to buy; I think some of my professors sent out emails with first-day reading assignments.Reid-Bailey wrote:So there is basically no way I can buy my books "early" (i.e. soon) because I don't know what section I'll be in?sirenade wrote:

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
Agree. Also I think there is no point in buying textbooks now because even if you have them now you won't know what to read or how to read them (some professors have specific requirements on how to read cases). I think the only concern is whether books will arrive on time when you purchase them online since some sellers are pretty crappy.PeanutsNJam wrote:You won't know until you can see the professor's syllabus too (limited by when they decide to put it online).

Seeking advice for course selection. Is a combination of administrative law, commercial law, bankruptcy, trust & estate, moot court & journal too stressful?

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
In terms of time commitment, is it LR and then everything else or do different secondaries require different amounts of time?
On a related note, did anyone do a secondary and regret it?

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
It seems a little heavier than I'd have liked but the good news is Bankruptcy and Commercial Law overlap a ton.

He knows everything about everything. He also teaches Fed Income Tax, American Legal History, Con Law, Property, and a bunch of other courses. He basically teaches whatever they need him to or whatever he's interested in.sirenade wrote:Thanks for the information!

Unsolicited advice: for the rising 2Ls who want to take fed courts, I highly recommend taking admin law first. It's not necessary at all, but it's helpful.

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
If the same employer is coming to multiple programs, should we bid them for both or only one?
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
