Law School Applications / Penn 1L taking ?s

« on: December 20, 2008, 09:14:52 PM »

Well I'm finally done with 1st semester of exams, and it's been quite a ride. Feels like I haven't been here since the summer, so I thought I'd come back and give a little advice to those who could use it.

This site was such a help to me last year

Note: I LOVE Penn.

General Board / Dual Degrees

« on: June 23, 2008, 02:44:54 PM »

I'm an incoming 1L interested in a career in administrative law/constitutional law/politics. My school offers a 3 year JD/MGA (Masters in Government Administration) dual degree. What are the merits of getting a degree like this? Positives and Negatives?

General Board / Types of Law?

« on: March 25, 2008, 01:39:33 PM »

I'm a 0L about to go to law school. I was wondering: Which "genre" or type of law do you think is most (and least) popular? Which are most (and least) competitive to enter into the market for?

Also, are there any types of law that focus or even touch on some sort of History? (I have an undergrad History degree and love History).

General Board / Con law prospects

« on: January 15, 2008, 10:43:09 AM »

I am a 0L looking for some advice. I'm extremely interested in many aspects of constitutional law: federalism, separation of powers, bill of rights, etc.

Are there any top firms that actually have work available in those types of fields, or am I destined to work in government? If I must work in government, what types of steps should I take to get to a career that involves those fields?

Thanks.

How valuable are Secondary Journals as opposed to the main flagship ones? Is the difference significant, and how so?

Law School Applications / Untag threads

Is there a way to "untag" threads so they no longer appear in your "unread replies to your posts" box?

Thanks.
