Oh Canada! / Re: Is it possible to get into a law school with a BCIT bachelor's degree?« on: July 07, 2011, 08:18:52 PM »
Not sure what BCIT is, but you might want to explore LSAC.org. They are the main body that govern law school admissions materials and they'll give you a good list of what is required.

General Board / Re: How bad of trouble am I in?« on: July 07, 2011, 08:10:54 PM »
Bankruptcy isn't the end of the world these days as it was a few years back. I've always been of the school that you should disclose because non-disclosure is pretty brutal. I know 1 person who disclosed his foreclosure and passed C&F fine. I know someone else, in a similar situation, who did not because he failed to disclose. It really DOES matter. They care more about you lying to the bar than the actual issue. I don't know why people are telling you to drop out, but I'd consider getting a hold of an ethics professor/lawyer to ask advice of.

Bar Exam / Silent Timers for the Bar« on: July 04, 2011, 02:44:19 PM »
Anyone know of a good silent timer for the bar? A search on Amazon just gave me a bunch of timers and nothing tells you whether they are silent. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I don't think I have time to go and disable one so a timer that is silent out of the box would be best. Thanks!

Bar Exam / Re: Good/Bad Experiences with Barbri« on: June 09, 2011, 11:44:50 PM »
I'm doing barbri right now and a lot of the stuff they're making me do seems like a waste of time. What would you guys have done differently other than skipping lecture? Also, how much time did you guys devote to each aspect of the study?

Bar Exam / Bar Bri Exam Schedule Help?« on: May 17, 2011, 12:24:25 AM »
Okay, so I'm signed up for the Barbri prep for the July bar. They've given me a schedule and it hasn't been all that helpful in charting out a specific schedule for me to follow. e.g. stuff to learn by X, topics to cover when not in class, and when to do what. Do you guys have any good sources for where to find a more specific study schedule I can then mod?

Studying and Exam Taking / Re: How to get into upper 50%...For 1Ls who are in bottom 50%« on: May 17, 2011, 12:18:18 AM »
in addition to reading the exams, I would highly suggest reading the answers to those exams. Just knowing HOW an exam answer is crafted was huge for me. If you can't get a hold of one from your professor, I suggest reading the Acing series. It gives a pretty good breakdown of how you analyze an exam thoroughly. In the end though, it is just chugging along and learning how to test. Meet with your professors as often as they will let you, and bring them practice exams you've written. You'd be amazed at how much it helps.
