how easy (is it cross listed with LLMs) >>>> schedule >> tangential interests
in that order
Easier. ESL llms don't do as well on exams is the common line thinking which makes sense to me but I have no hard data to back it up.

Anyone have a Prof for Professional Responsibility that was easier on the curve? Heard the PR curve is pretty brutal.

Oh yeah they have to do like one practical course or whatever like an externship practicum or clinic or somethingusn26 wrote:Isn't there some new requirement for c/o 2019 and after?

Like what kind of requirements do we need to fulfill (credit and otherwise), recommendations for classes to take, etc? Just looking for general advice here.
If it matters, I took The Regulatory State as my elective. Does that count for my administrative law credit? If so, how can I tell?
If you're looking for a guide as to what to take common classes are corporations, evidence, tax, any bar subject, federal courts, con law II, employment etc. but i would just take whatever sounds interesting to you or whatever is a prerequisite to whatever sounds interesting to you.

the curve may look brutal but the class itself is a joke and if you take Tague for example you can just not go to class or read and rehash what other people wrote on old exams and still get an Aladybug1989 wrote:Anyone have a Prof for Professional Responsibility that was easier on the curve?

Re: GULC Students Taking Questions
For current GULC students-- incoming students just received access to our GULC emails. Do you happen to know if there's a way to change the alias so that it's not something like abc17@georgetown.edu? These aren't the most beautiful or professional-looking email addresses.

But I wouldn't stress it. If you don't get some job you're after, it won't be because your email address lacks fung shui. If it really bothers you, just make a separate gmail account that is FirstName.LastName or whatever.

Overall 1L GPA: 3.04. Chances at big law if I purely gun for NYC with strong ties to the area and if I already have a callback at one firm?

Re: GULC Students Taking Questions
I never interviewed with NYC firms, so take this with a grain of salt, but my sense is you still have a fighting chance if you A) are a decent interviewer and B) bid smart. Look for NYC firms with large class sizes that hire below median people. OCS should provide you with data on the GPAs of people hired by individual firms in the past.Throwaonetwothree wrote:Overall 1L GPA: 3.04.

Re: GULC Students Taking Questions
Kinda similar question to the one above. So the GPA took a dip in the Spring, and I ended up w/ a 3.21. Not the end of the world, but I don't exactly have any mitigating factors to fall back on, e.g. good work experience (graduated in 2015 & worked retail in between) or "softs" (resume is meh).
I was planning on targeting NY & my home market (relatively large secondary market). Would prefer the home market. Other than "bidding smart," emailing associates for coffee, and mass-mailing the crap out of all biglaw/midlaw firms in the general vicinity of the 2 aforementioned markets, is there any other advice that the OCI veterans wanna share?
Thanks guys!
EDIT: oh, and OCS did send out an excel sheet with GPA medians and general data on certain firms. But it doesn't include nearly all the firms that are actually coming to EIW. Is there somewhere to find more in depth info on this?

Re: GULC Students Taking Questions
Can any current students talk about what the orientation schedule is like? I have to schedule a meeting for some place about half an hour away from GULC-- the entire thing will probably take 2 hours total-- during orientation week or the Saturday between orientation/first week of classes, and I'm afraid of missing an important/mandatory event.

Anyone have any info or opinions on GULC vs GW for 1) evening programs and 2) foreign affairs & national security law?
Also what's the parking in the garage like after 5 for evening students?

GULC has better Biglaw placement same as day program. Otherwise likely no significant difference.Prospect24 wrote:Anyone have any info or opinions on GULC vs GW for 1) evening programs and 2) foreign affairs & national security law?

Re: GULC Students Taking Questions
Currently working bigfed in a non legal role, but obviously there's a large legal framework around what we do. Interested in doing one of the two evening programs to have a better understanding of that framework and maybe eventually move into an internal legal role. I'd probably only do biglaw as a retirement gig from gov much farther down the road.Capitol_Idea wrote:GULC has better Biglaw placement same as day program.

In this situation should I just go to whichever gives me more money because my grades will matter more than anything or would GULC give a bump?
