General Board / Changes in Emmanuel editions« on: September 24, 2008, 01:35:14 PM »
I've been told by a few people that the Emmanuel for Con Law is a pretty good supplement, but I'm not ready to spring for a new edition. I've found a few older editions on Amazon, but I'm wondering how much they change from year to year. Anybody have any insight?

Socratic Method / Re: When You DON'T Do Your Reading« on: March 22, 2008, 07:54:21 PM »
I took a law survey class during my undergrad, which was taught by actual law professors from our school. They informed us that their policy is to leave a note on the professors podium/desk before class informing them that you were unprepared.
Signed and dated, this would give you a freebie at least twice. 3

I'm in Holland now and if I'd been here the whole time the 16 year old drinking age would have saved me! Thanks for the help. 5

Edit: Final draft, before final draft.
It is really now a question of whether or not to cut the first three paragraphs or keep them. Is effective and personable writing worth pushing the length? 6

Addendum for Criminal Charges
On September 2nd, 2005, at the age of 19, I received a citation as a minor in possession of alcohol by the Police Department of Vermillion, South Dakota. During the incident my recorded blood alcohol content was .01 after receiving a breathalyzer. I later appeared at the clerk of courts to plead guilty to the charges. I received a fine and had my license revoked for the minimum sentence of thirty days. On August 18th, 2006, at the age of 20, I received a citation as a minor in possession of alcohol by the Police Department of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. During the incident my recorded blood alcohol content was .08 after receiving a breathalyzer. I appeared at an appointed court date the following month and plead guilty to the charge. I received a fine, was required to pay court fees, and my license was revoked for the minimum sentence of sixty days. For this incident I also received a suspended jail sentence of ten days for any future alcohol violations through my twenty-second birthday. In regards to both of these alcohol related incidents I have accepted full responsibility for my actions. Furthermore, both of these incidents occurred at homes receiving noise violations and under no circumstances was a motor vehicle involved. In regards to my suspended sentence, I have remained free of any alcohol violations since my last court appearance. Bueno? 8
Law School Applications / Re: Criminal addendum - How specific on dates?« on: November 29, 2007, 10:58:41 AM »
So it is not essential that I have the specific date for applications, but I will need it in the future? If that is the case, for the sake of saving any more time waiting to go complete, I will just go with what I have.
And I wish I could say I was too wasted, but a BAC of .01 and .08 really aren't anything to brag about

Law School Applications / Criminal addendum - How specific on dates?« on: November 29, 2007, 09:03:13 AM »
I only have two misdemeanors to report, both being a minor in consumption of alcohol. For my second one I know the exact date: Aug. 18th, 2006. However, for the second one, I can only pinpoint it at sometime in early September of 2005. How specific do I need to be for such a small infraction?
The first time I plead guilty and paid my fine and the second I had to appear in court so I'm not sure if a court date needs to be mentioned, because both times it was just a fine. Thanks for the help guys! 10
