Have they written the rules about what qualifies for the 10 year public service forgiveness crap yet? Last I heard it was still floating around without definition.

Took a break from studying Con Law to log into Planetside 2 to gently caress around for a while. Got killed by a guy named Scalia just a few minutes into playing. It's like you can't ever escape it.

Someone should make an ID based on Justice Thomas. And then never use voice chat.

Its just 120 payments while employed. Doesn't matter if its 10 different jobs over 20 years with a 5 year gap in the middle or whatever.

However, I think clerking (and fellowships and similar term-limited positions) might have been specifically exempted. But yes, it's 120 payments, not necessarily consecutive.

Also payments while your loans are in deferral wouldn't count towards your 120. Wish I knew about this before I found out that getting enrolled in IBR triggers an automatic 60 day deferral. On the upside, I guess I don't have to make any payments till next year.

Tequila Sunrise, I'm a bit late in responding, but I'm an RPCV (Nicaragua 07-09) who studied for and took the LSAT and applied to law schools during my service. I don't think PC had any impact on admissions--my GPA & LSAT correctly predicted everything, though I think I was competitive for more scholarships. It was amazing for need-based aid because my income was like $2,000 for the previous two years. Aside from what others have said about whether law school is a good idea, I thought PC service was ideal for LSAT studying because I had a ton of time on my hands and hadn't done anything intellectually stimulating for a year. I had family bring all the books and practice tests and things that I needed, then left them in the PCV library when I was done. Applying to law school was rough because internet was so spotty. The worst thing was that going to law school right after COSing made me very impatient hearing about all my classmates' privileged first-world problems and their lack of any perspective. I think this is hard for all RPCVs, but law school made for a very stark contrast.

Kalman posted:However, I think clerking (and fellowships and similar term-limited positions) might have been specifically exempted. Huh, didn't know that. I'll have to check into whether clerking is exempted. I don't know where I got the idea it had to be consecutive. Edited to add: my clerkship was before 2007 so it doesn't matter anyway whether it counts. Darn. But I think there's a chance that one year of my half-time employment might work because although I was half-time I taught extra classes, and the total number of hours worked was over the 30 per week minimum. That would cut an extra year off if it did count. quepasa18 fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Dec 7, 2012 |

The strange thing about law school is that it has made me like arguing/debating less (about non-law subjects). It's just so tedious. If anything, people who love to argue should be dissuaded from going to law school, lest they do have this cherished part of their life also stamped out.

It's more because most people consider an anecdote or something to be sufficient proof for a proposition. I find it extremely annoying because now all my relatives know I'm liberal and love to bring up whatever nonsensical fw: they received about Obamacare or whatever.

If it makes you feel any better, your liberal views probably annoy all your relatives/acquaintances just as much.

No, I just don't want to have the argument, in large part because I know so much more about the subject that explaining my position would require basically writing a goddamn memo, and that is not fun for me. The worst is Torts. I swear to god Joe on the street can just read some newspaper article, completely miss the point and just make up tort law.
