General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / New York Law School Students / Aspen Tort Primer
« on: July 23, 2005, 08:34:12 PM »

Any on this board going to NYLS?

If so have you started studying, I've already read the Aspen Primer on Tort law and it has enabled me to make a pretty in depth outline for the course including most of the Black Letter Law on the subject.

Just recieved my advanced week reading assignment seems pretty straight forward.

Please respond if you are starting NYLS in august.

Thank you.

Good Afternoon:

Is anyone on this board going to attend NYLS?

Also has anyone started studying yet?

I've already learned a great deal in regards to Black Letter Law for Torts, anyone want to buy my E&E primers?

Also has anyone started making outlines?

Thank you.

for the record, man... i think pepperdine has you in the "this guy is probably in but we just jumped 20 spots in the rankings so more people might turn in seat deposits than we anticipate and we better hold off on giving this guy an acceptance letter just yet" pile.

I see it as a positive you havent heard yet actually. most people borderline candidates have gotten their waitlist offers..... pepperdine obviously thinks better of you.

Yes that is my interpretation of my situation at pepperdine.  Regardless, f them.  I'm going to law school here in nyc.  This is the place for business and to make money. Visited Miami for U. Miami / Southeastern and St. Thomas which i got accepted to.   Unless you're in the highway business i'll stick to new york law school or brooklyn.

Hey
I totally know what you mean.  I also went to NYU (CAS) but am from FL, and NYC is def. the place to be.  I too got into NYLS, and I got waitlisted at Brooklyn.  I am seriously contemplating going to NYLS because it's in the city, so I feel you. 8) If it's where you want to end up, its prob your best bet. Good luck.

Have you checked out brooklyn law school.  I'm still waiting to hear from them and depending on the outcome of my application (i applyed really late though my lsat and gpa make their median) i would maybe go there.  New York Law School may not be rated as high, but reserve your seat.  If you do really well at New York Law School employeers will seek you.  Even though they are 158-152 3.5-2.9 its whether you are "good" not the school.  I know this girl who just did really well at New York Law School and her first job is at 140k.

Yeah, i totally f!cked up on that point. I was born in Brooklyn and lived here all my life. I even went to college in NYC, so i thought it was time for a change. I did not apply to any schools in NYC, and i think it was a big mistake. I know believe that i could have gotten into Cardoza/Brooklyn. Now i am faced with the prospect of going to school in Cali, and i am starting to see how much i will miss my city. There is no place like NYC. Plain and simple.

I'll have to deal with it though, but i'm a little envious of all the people who are coming to NYC to go  to law school.

Did you visit the schools outside of new york previous to giving your seat deposit?

I was really impressived with Nova Southeastern even more so then U. Miami.  Again its not NYC, the law students looked serious as far as wearing suits and they did well in the mock court session i witnessed.  Still its not NYC, this place f*cking rules as far as life and business.  We need to realize that being an attorney encompasses business and NYC is the place for business.  Ft Lauderdale and Miami have about 2 blocks in the downtown area which are even close or reminiscent to the 15 mile long and 6 mile wide island of Manhattan.

Manhattan is where you make money.

I just rode down to New York Law School to see the "campus".  Its impressive the library looks a bit lacking being that its only 4 stories but regardless most of the information we need we can get via Lexus Nexus.

New York City is the place to be as far as business is concerned.   Again referencing the pace of life and firms will see that you went to NYU / New York Law School or Brookyln Law school and realize that you are a new yorker and someone who has a pace condusive to doing well for the firm or being a good attorney.  Realize however that your LSAT score or the law school you get your degree from doesnt necessarily mean you will be a good attorney.  Though the fact that you are from the area should give you a leg up on your first job.

I anticipate employers seeing your resume will discern that this individual is from nyc and understands our pace of business.

This is a conclusion I arrived at after going to visit U. Miami Southeastern and St. Thomas.  I got a full ride at St. Thomas and accepted to U. Miami and Southeastern.

The pace of life there is too slow.  Even to get your change or be involved in any type of business transaction.  NYC rules i have been cursing this city out for years but you dont really realize how much business and energy is involved here until you go to another state or city.  I also got accepted to U. San Diego Pepperdine and Loyola.  Unfortuately I only applyed to New York Law / Brooklyn College and Hofstra here in NYC.

In at New York Law and i plan on going there regardless of the price.  NYC RULES.

Wish i took the lsat earlier i should have been able to get into fordham though my gpa is rather weak comparitively.

Anyone else going to New York Law.
