General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Possible to get $$ after your first year in LS?« on: April 06, 2005, 08:05:20 PM »
If you don't get any scholarship as an entering 1L, is it possible to get $$ for your 2nd or 3rd years? (I'm thinking about a lower T-14 here). If so, how well would you have to do to get an award -- top 25%? 10%?

Black Law Student Discussion Board / BLSD censors threads/ quells free speech?« on: April 03, 2005, 09:13:56 AM »
I was looking for the thread I started in here asking about hair (which somehow got perversely twisted, mainly by the moderator of BLSD into some sort of viscious, insult-ridden assault) to find a user that I wanted to PM who I knew had posted on that thread. Where has it gone?
Now, if there's a thread that you don't like, ignore it, troll it, flame it, or even move it. I'll even accept if someone deletes a thread that's horridly racist or offensive (although even that I'd rather see moved than deleted). But preventing LSDers from freely expressing themselves and engaging in discourse on a particular matter (even if it IS just silly banter)? tsk!

General Off-Topic Board / Surcharge on car rentals for ppl under 25: what a crock!« on: April 02, 2005, 12:32:33 AM »
What a load of bullsh*t!!. If anything, they should determine your rate based on how long you've had your license and your driving record. I've had my license longer than tons of 25+yr olds.

General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Thoughts on buying a condo/house for LS?« on: March 29, 2005, 12:56:10 AM »
Has anyone here bought a property to live in during law school and then sold it after the three years? Anyone have any thoughts on whether this is a good idea? I know nothing about finances or real estate, but I'm always hearing about people buying a house and then the value goes up like $100K in four years. Even if you sold it for what you bought it for, you'd have a free place to live for three years, no?
I really want to live on my own during law school (I don't do well in shared housing situations), but an efficiency or 1-bedroom seems like it's going to set me back at LEAST $800 (more like $1000+ probably). So why not buy a cute condo and sell it in three years? 5
General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / I don't get it: How hard can it really be to get good grades in LS?« on: March 28, 2005, 07:20:15 AM »
The general consensus seems to be that law school is very difficult: lots of school work, difficult to get good grades, etc. etc. But really, how hard can it be to do well? In undergrad I worked hard and did extremely well in all my classes. If a course was hard, I just put a bit more time and effort into it to get an A. So how different can law school be? If I put enough work into it, I don't see how it's possible not to do well. Is this a naive way of thinking?

General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Might have lied on an app for a school I'm not going to... problem?« on: March 24, 2005, 05:38:00 PM »
One of my apps asked if I'd ever been charged with a crime. I'm pretty sure I have been charged but am not positive; the arrest was politically related and a long story and wasn't worth going into as it was my safety school. I won't be attending my safety (got waitlisted there but accepted to No. 1 choice). Will this have any negative repercussions down the line?

General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Importance of attending admit days? Other chances to meet faculty/deans?« on: March 23, 2005, 05:55:32 PM »
What generally goes on during Admit Days/Weekends? Any chance of meeting important people (faculty, deans, etc?) Are there any other opportunities to meet such people before classes start? (do schools have receptions during orientation week or something?)
I can't make admit weekend for the school I'm going to, but I don't want to miss out on rubbing elbows with faculty/deans.
