Omerta posted:I'm going to Emory next year. I've thought about it for months and I can't think of anything I would want to do more even with poo poo the way it is right now. I finished finals yesterday and I'm reading Lubet's trial techniques for fun (again). Where are you from? I grew up in Atlanta and I'm working in the city this summer. Also, I just finished my paper for my Military Justice class. It was on PMC contractor liability under the UCMJ. I got antsy toward the end and decided to write a fun paragraph. Try to spot all the game references. HR's Paper posted:The great expansion in the market of civilian contractors in the last two decades will have a lasting impact on the future of war fighting. Although with the drawdown of U.S. troops in Iraq there is a corresponding drawdown of contractors, the issue of contractor liability will not disappear. Iraq is an example of modern warfare. Some groups have asserted that, although weapons evolve, war never changes. Though there is some truth to that, it is not entirely accurate. In reality, war has changed. The traditional meaning of “Total War” has faded away. No longer are we threatened with total annihilation from a rival superpower, but rather the primary threat the U.S. faces is non-state actors, small radical forces, quite possibly an army of two, and that threat required a change of strategy and tactics. America’s Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines have adapted and modified their operating methods to become more efficient and mobile powers while maintaining the capability to project force on a global scale. These changes have been in part possible through the employment of soldiers of fortune. However, with the dawn of this new war and the employment of private contractors, the legal framework that governs war fighting must adapt.

Defleshed posted:How did you like the class? I wish we'd had one at Loyola. I ended up just doing a lot of papers on military aspects of whatever law we were studying in my electives. It has been my favorite class in law school. Although next semester I'm taking National Security which will be co-taught by the professor I had Military Justice with (retired 1 star) and the DJAG of the AF, who is retiring in June. Will be just as awesome or more awesome.

THE MACHO MAN posted:Nah, not harsh at all. I'd rather get the real answers. I was under the impression that it's not great, but it's certainly a good school. I don't think I wrote it before, but my goal is to work in the tri-state area if that impacts the answers at all The tri-state area doing what? Whatever it is you want to do, is it really worth 160k in debt? Haha, I just looked up Rutgers, I had no idea it was a public school. If you don't get in at Rutgers, you probably shouldn't go to law school. I'm not really sure how to justify spending 100k+ on tuition alone at one of those other schools.

Elotana posted:There's a law-school-only ceremony that I plan on attending and my parents are driving up for, but a cap and gown rental for JDs was like $500 or something ludicrous like that, and UT is a huge loving university, so I have zero interest in another huge-rear end graduation. Cap and gown...rental? You don't get to keep it? You pay $500 and you don't get to keep it?

Petey posted:But having fun in a southern college can be confusing, because many of the students are still wrestling with the freedom college gives them in the context of their hard-right Christian upbringing. Duke is not a southern college. It's filled with people from the Northeast and West. TyChan posted:Low scores must mean the person is an underrepresented minority student? No, it means they get in at highly ranked schools with lovely test scores. Touchy much?

Over the last couple years I've befriended a Duke alum in the market I had been planning on going to (until I broke up with my gf). Monday the alum emails me asking me if I'm free for lunch on Wednesday, because they just had a partner meeting that day and decided they wanted to hire on some class of 2011 folks when they graduate. After lunch the alum directs me to the managing partner's office. Apparently they want to hire me when I graduate... Hilarious.

This isn't my first intern and I know not to expect much out of law students in terms of actually knowing anything. However, this one fucks up even the simplest research assignments and it takes me lots of time and multiple corrections to get him to make even routine motions ready. What specifically is his failing? Is it something he could fix?
