Where should I go next fall? / Re: Michigan 1L Taking Questions« on: August 10, 2008, 05:47:30 PM »
Brueggers isn't that bad, and is certainly better than what you get at the supermarket or starbucks. Also, Zingermans isn't that bad either; neither are a New York bagel, but they aren't the equivalent of what you'd get at starbucks, either.

Where should I go next fall? / Re: Michigan 1L Taking Questions« on: August 09, 2008, 11:34:21 PM »Do Summer starters have a lower median LSAT/GPA? Any change that is being discussed is likely the change that no longer allows schools to hide students from ABA reporting students in non fall start programs. It used to be the case that a school would not have to report the statistics of students in a program like the summer program, and so it became a place for those whose numbers were less than impressive (this may even explain why ED was summer start only); now all statistics are reported, so the benefit to hiding people in the summer class no longer exists. 23
Law School Applications / Re: LAW SCHOOL CALCULATOR- Accurate or not?« on: August 08, 2008, 12:41:43 AM »I still don't understand why the index number for CLS is made up at lsatreport.com Do they publish an index formula? Most schools do, but some don't. 24

www.lsatreport.com doesn't pretend to give you chances, but it does tell you where you stand using the actual index number formula by most schools, including telling you what you'd have to do to your LSAT or GPA to have an index number higher than a theoretical candidate at the 75th percentile LSAT and GPA

Studying for the LSAT / Re: TESTMASTERS = Anyone use them? Any thoughts? They seem to be the best...« on: August 04, 2008, 08:44:47 PM »Bill Clinton's LSAT class would be fun. That depends on what the meaning of the word sufficient is. 26

Even if it's true; is there some reason to believe that Bill Clinton, Clarance Thomas or Barack Obama would be good at teaching the LSAT?

Where should I go next fall? / Re: Michigan + $49,000, or Chicago?« on: July 21, 2008, 11:46:24 AM »Congrats. You made the right choice by choosing Chicago.hands down Michigan. Can't believe this is even a serious post. I actually did a calculation, and it came out Chicago 262, Michigan 259, so Chicago was the right answer. 28
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Michigan + $49,000, or Chicago?« on: July 21, 2008, 10:15:44 AM »I agree completely, and isn't there a chance of instate tuition in 2L and 3L? Unfortunately, the OP already decided. There almost no chance at in state tuition in your second and third years without evidence of taking pretty extreme steps to become permanently resident in Michigan after school. Even if you were successful at the process, which is highly doubtful, the savings at the Law School are middling. Only a few thousand dollars. 29

blichigan teaches erie and other jurisdiction stuff in an upper level (and non-mandatory) jurisdiction and choice of law class. half the sections last year got a taste nonetheless, but all but the most basic jurisdiction stuff goes into the upper level class, and we take what is basically Civ Pro II during 1L year, pretending that all but the most basic of jurisdictional issues don't matter.
