Oops. Just slightly embarrassing.
=/ I googled for "property law essay questions" and didn't even think to google "property exam." Not sure what that says about my research abilities. Or perhaps Westlaw has adversely affected my googling ... 3
Studying and Exam Taking / Sample Property Exam Questions« on: April 02, 2009, 06:46:59 PM »
Hi,
Does anyone have any sample Property exam questions that they'd be willing to share? Or know where I could get some? I know that exam questions & model answers vary a lot from professor to professor; I just wanted a general idea of the types of questions one might see in Property. I've also ordered a copy of Siegel's Property and will hit up some 2Ls, but was hoping someone on this board might have other suggestions - ~B 4

The University of Iowa, generally (not just the law school),
is extremely well known for its writing programs. The main disadvantage to the law school is that it's not really close to any major cities. 6

Hmm. Interesting.
I think the bottom line though is that the adcomms generally don't make any decisions before November, with few exceptions (e.g., Duke, GULC). So you may get first read ... but you're still competing against the same group of applicants. 7

There's no advantage to applying ridiculously early
versus just early. So long as you apply before the EA deadline, or, if there is no EA deadline, November 1st, I don't think it makes much difference. They probably won't even look at your app before November 1st anyway. A lot of the adcomms aren't even around in early fall -- they're off doing campus visits. Just get your stuff together by September, and wait until the schools say they're accepting applications. Then go ahead and apply. I'm not saying you should apply in February or March. I'm just saying that October is probably just as good as September. 8

Law School Applications / Re: (urgent) for part time applications,« on: February 03, 2008, 12:51:35 PM »
See, this is the weird thing ...
It doesn't look like an F class visa would allow you to register for part-time: http://www.nyu.edu/oiss/legal/visa/index.html ... but, as I said, both Rutgers and Seton Hall have a number of part-time law students who are foreign nationals. So there must be a way to do it. Unless green card holders ("permanent residents") are considered foreign nationals for LSAC reporting purposes? Talk to the schools. 10

Credited. The schools will know best.
LSAC data shows that 4% of the students in Rutgers-Newark's part-time program are foreign nationals. So it's certainly possible. You still need to figure out (a) what kind of visa you need, and (b) whether the schools you are applying to are ok with it. If you can't get work authorization, then some schools may want to know why you are applying part-time, since you won't be working. Also, I *believe* that you are not supposed to indicate an intention to stay in the US if you are on a temporary visa such as a student visa. I would think that going to a US law school indicates an intention to stay in the US, but that's just me. You need an expert. Talk to (1) the admissions office and/or (2) the international student office at different schools. I would suggest Rutgers-Newark or Seton Hall as the New Jersey schools get the most international students. |
