Well, what do you mean by "atmosphere?"

3L job search / Re: Anyone interview for the DOJ Honors Program?« on: November 13, 2009, 11:56:13 PM »AFIK they did not contact references, but I think that only happens immediately pre-offer as a background check type of thing. I'm not sure about that. I know somebody who was interviewed, found out that they were checking references, and then didn't get an offer. Just some more info for all of you! 33
General Board / Re: How does one cope with law school debt?« on: November 13, 2009, 11:54:21 PM »That being said, if I could take a prospective law student and give him my wizened advice today, I would sternly caution him about the evils of taking on mountainous debt to try and grab an ever-shrinking slice of the decent-salaried pie. There are much easier, and less stressful, ways. Amen. I tell aspiring law students this though, and most of them look at me quizzically. 34
Law School Applications / Re: FSU/UFL« on: November 13, 2009, 03:11:04 PM »I take fight to the death as well, but I'm a regulator, so you know. I agree with Ninja that if you know for sure that you want government work, and you want to live in Tallahassee, you should go to FSU. I will add, however, that I'd venture that most law students going into law school have a vague idea of what they want to do, and that it changes as they go through law school. As such, you should be honest with yourself and make sure that's what you want to do, because otherwise I'd say it's better to go to UF. At the same time, if you're looking for "biglaw," I'd be wary of going to any Florida school. Places like UF are getting hit hard due to the economy--"good" jobs are hard to find. Make sure you really want to do law school before you go! 35
Where should I go next fall? / Re: IU-Indy vs. Penn State HELP!« on: September 19, 2009, 01:19:14 PM »Is the Penn State LS not located at Dickinson anymore? Is it on the main PSU campus? I visited 2 years ago and it appeared to be "undergoing renovation" on the Dickinson campus. The Dickinson campus (and town) is pretty cool if you're looking at the whole eastern small town sort of thing. PSU now has two locations: one still at Carlisle and the other at State College (i.e., PSU's main campus). The Carlisle campus is a very small area, FWIW. 36

Otherwise, count on a good LSAT Yeah, your experience *might* help you, but without a LSAT score within a school's range, it probably won't help too much. Don't play with fire and study hard for the LSAT! 39
General Board / Re: case briefs« on: September 18, 2009, 11:56:38 AM »I guess I'm in the small minority that still briefs cases. I book briefed in semester two, but I actually started typing out briefs again. It's working well for me (so far), because I find it makes it much easier to pick up what's going on throughout the semester and formally briefing doesn't take too much longer than book briefing if you know what you're doing. 40
