indigent criminal defense in east coast city...
i highly recommend MAP - i did it as a 1L and am really glad i did. i have really good friends from outside my big section, which i think is important as a 1L.
Wait, during orientation do we not hang out with kids who are going to be in other sections from our own?
Maybe I should finally actually read materials....
There are a few things you do in your small LP sections, but IIRC most everything else is done in bigger groups. And just like undergrad orientation, the important stuff happens at night anyways.
MAP*/Orientation was an awesome time, and I agree with everybody saying you should show up early if you can, especially if you're living off-campus and can get settled in before orientation starts.
* I didn't actually attend the events during the day since I knew people and was generally too busy treating my body like a theme park to feel like getting up for stuff, but if you're going in cold it definitely makes sense to sign up for MAP.
ETA: Also, get as drunk as you want but wake up for service day.
