Hi Guys,

I survived my first day (actually night as I am a p/t student) of orientation. Not too bad, went over briefing, outlining, hierarchy of US court system and sources of law ancillary or otherwise...We had burrito bar dinner with our peer mentors as well

Tomorrow night is our mock class/socratic intro...techie stuff and handbook rules.....

Thursday is spouse/sig other day, as well as professionalism oath, bar panel,  and career panel....

I am liking it so far... There are a LOT of paralegals (many of whom have their paralegal cetificates and already know how to research etc... so everyone else is feeling the pressure.... esp in my research and writing section where 12 of the 20 students are paras)

Books cost almost $600 and that is not counting supplements.... yikes.

When do you all start?

Oh I forgot to mention my classes...

I have civ pro, contracts, torts and research and writing this semester.... each class once a week on its own night.......

what are your schedules like?

Thanks you guys,

Your kind words have helped a lot with some of the guilt/mixed emotions I have been dealing with.... not to mention the stress of school next week....

LegalK, I Hope yur dad has good news today!

YankyK! Thanks for the good inspiration.... 18 years .... and winning that is wonderful... If it is ok, I will pass that on to my dad for some pos thought karma:)

Just checking in with y'all. My orientation starts next week...  so school is nearly here.... all the stress of LSAT, applications, financial aid, are all behind me now....Now.... finally, it is time for school... and I am SO excited/nervous/etc.... How are you holding up?

Hey all!

I have been reading the e and e series(ive read contracts and civ pro and am working through torts) to prep... I just got my orientation packet(august 9-11th) and the homework for it doesnt seem to bad.. much like yanky... understanding how court system works, terms, and learning to brief cases...(we have 2 paperback books and 1 pamphlet of cases).... If I finish the torts  e and e this week, I will have one week to read the new Harry Potter before I need to begin the hw for orientation;) One nice thing is GG offers a spouse.partner/s.o/ panel to prep them for the law school experience.... and then they   watch us give our professionalism oath:)  Kind of a nice evening followed by a reception... I rhought that was a nice touch.

So is everyone excited... or what??

I can't wait!

Yes, I am such a LOSER... I did almost 2 full years of law school(6 years ago) and here I go again.... starting all over... I haven't even started prepping yet... I ordered LEEWS and am hoping my ebay seller is shipping it.... as I would like to get that done(w/ 4 kids no easy task) before school starts... I didn't do it last time and PLS2 really rec it... so we shall see....

Robo Thanks for the info... I will call and ask for the cd/disc ....If I paid for it, I should own it!


Yanky, I don't know how much help Ill be... but you can always ask
