I was about to buy 2 pair of some really expensive shoes at Nordstrom (forgot the brand) yesterday but then tried on the Nordstrom house brand and they fit really well and were a third the price.

No idea what that meant, so I looked it up. I believe they are. Belvedere Bay Bridge (brown pair and black pair). Men's warehouse had a huge sale this past friday on a lot of stuff. One of those sales was half off shoes. I will grant you the two pairs I got were not the expensive offerings of the brand, but gotta start somewhere.
i can pretty close to promise you that men's warehouse doesn't carry any goodyear welted shoes

Well, it sure as hell isn't Blake stitching, and looks like welt stitching.

But hey, like I said. I didn't even know what that was until an hour ago.

Alas, another k-JD friend posts on Facebook attending an unranked private law school with a price over 200K. I wish it was easier to talk to people and warn them without sounding elitist. I've have several friends go to these schools in the last few years, only two have finished, none have jobs.

The best you can do is try to find a friendly way to point them to law school transparency early. I'm an LSAT teacher, so I've come up with a million ways to tell people to be careful.

For folks who've already received offers, I usually will say something like this:

"Congratulations on your law school offer! I didn't know that you were looking at law school -- very cool! I came across this website while I was thinking through things, and it was really helpful in helping me understand the costs and benefits of the schools I was applying to. I thought the job placement info was the most helpful. You should check it out!"

You can't really take the "don't do that" approach with most folks unless you're really close, but you can at least lead the horse to water.

Also: summer gigs -- how's it going, all? Report! I start up Tuesday.

SA is a wonderful job! I wish it was full time/long term.

Interesting work assignments: check.
Extremely bright and nice associates & partners: check.
Lunch every day with a partner & associate: check.
Social events, but not too many: check.

This is one week in, mind you, so I hope it holds up all summer.

DJM, military job?

I officially start tomorrow. Office works 10-6, but those are guidelines. I'll be working with the Georgian Young Lawyers Association here in Tbilisi.

Is it gunning if all of your classmates mysteriously die so you have to be number 1 in your class?
yeah isn't that what How To Get Away With Murder is about?


JK it's about sex.
is there anything redeeming about that show
Haha soooo true

Also, this show is ridiculously stupid if you actually are in law school. Amazing how they've been taking the same class for 4 yrs :? :lol:
But I have to say I do love Viola's acting & the one thing that may be true are the classic "types" - neurotic, brat, hard-working minority, slut ..etc

You know none of those labels are mutually exclusive. I actually have two friends at school who are all of those things to some degree. Fuck, I'm all of those things to some degree.

Lol.

Btw, glad to see someone else from GA. Good luck when you start classes this fall.

I am objectively a horrible writer and have been doing well on exams 2L so there's no solution to your dilemma

Had to write a legal memo for the first time since 1L. Had to Google CIRAC to make sure I was doing it right. I'm going to fail at job. :oops:

It is really astounding to me how much my GPA has gone up this year and what a precipitous decline in effort put in.

My effort went down and Fall grades proportionately went down.

Still haven't gotten Spring grades. I put in more effort than I did in the Fall but less than 1L, so we shall see if the correlation stands.
