Law School Discussion

ahh...the good ol' days on lsd.

ha ha.  Oh the memories. 

The late night drunk posts, later deleted ones, the great endless debates filled with vitriol, accusations, asinine positions and arguments, the race and whatever other hot political issue baiting fights and discussions.  Those were the days.  Now everyone is tortured because they have to get their fill of all that without reading or writing cuz they have to spend time pressing a few TV remote buttons to tune in cable shows/political news or touch an iPhone to watch stuff on the go while figuring out what to do with the other hand for other pleasures at the same time without the horrible burden of having to type out, read or write something longer than 140 characters.  Maybe Apple should program Siri to post peoples thoughts and complaints on LSD through the voice recognition/transcription technology. 

I still think there's a good chance it comes out today....they set the release dates like 2 years in advance...  using that/past lsats to determine this release date presents some sort of logical flaw that I dont care to think of.

There is certainly a logical flaw or two you are ignoring.

Anyone seen this fun Cooley thing yet?  It's chock full of lulz.

I wish I could be surprised by that article. But in all honesty, if I were selected for a jury in a trial with Cooley as a litigant, I'd have to walk away. I just couldn't be objective. Worse still, I think it would be very difficult for anyone who did more than a moment's homework in applying to law school to be objective. Cooley has managed to obtain a reputation that is nearly impossible to defame because it can't be made much worse than it is already.

I laughed the hardest about this part:  "Thomas Cooley filed a separate suit against four anonymous bloggers who have posted unflattering comments about it online."

Really, only four anon bloggers?  Guess they haven't found this board or TLS yet!   

People need to come back more often, like daily. This place is being overrun by dbags, and not even the entertaining kind like Xman.

I'm back and reporting for duty.  Go Exile!

I think a lot of the recent lamo dirtbag posts are from paid to post services Andrew hired.  There are a bunch of companies/internet groups/organizations of people that will pose as legit users (paid professional discussion board posters, yes it's a real job title!) to get posting volume up and conversations going about the topics of the board.  It's how Andrew got LSD going way back in the beginning and it seems he has gone back to that strategy since site activity died over the last few years while TLS grew.  As I see it, the main reason LSD died and TLS grew is because the search function works on TLS and their site hasn't been down or messed up with all sorts of ongoing tech issues/problems like LSD has been for several years due to Andrew being negligent.

Glad to hear you survived 1L intact PJC.  I was beginning to wonder if you got killed by food poisoning from gas station grub or perhaps in the parking lot of a truck stop in some BFE place. 

Is the job you got a paid one or an internship type of volunteer thing?  Paid summer jobs after 1L are pretty hard to get so you should be really extra proud of it if that is the case.

Gettin' paiiiiidddddddddd

I got real drunk a few days ago and then ate a gas station hot dog the next day.  It immediately made me feel a bit sick.  I wasn't sure if I was hungover or y'know... I was eating a gas station hot dog.

Nice, you haven't abandoned and disowned your roots! Well, at least not totally yet, the brainwashing takes some time to fully set in and takeover! 

Congrats on the paid job.  Is it with a firm?
