Napoleon I posted:Yeah, I tried this, got shot down. Emailed back, explained what happened, and received a terse and fairly rude email back stating that there were absolutely no exceptions. Last year we had a guy send an e-mail to the Editor-in-Chief threatening congressional hearings after the Westlaw dropbox didn't let him submit his packet on time. It worked. So, hopefully you know a Congressman?

fougera posted:So write on sucks. I know its way early but would it be a bad idea to not do whatever crappy journal I get placed with and do an SEC internship instead? None of the journals are relevant to the practice area I'm working in this summer/hope to work in the future. Why can't you do both? Isn't the write-on done before your internship starts?

Death Sandwich posted:So I'm fixing to head to Emory Law in the fall, and I've got a question about law school student cultures in general. I'm sort of concerned that I'm going to be stuck hanging out around a bunch of stuck-up, WASPy, lame people - the kind that I generally tried to avoid during undergrad. Does anybody here go to Emory that wants to shed some light on the student culture there? Any body from any law school want to confirm that diverse student populations do exist? My roommate for the summer goes to Emory. The nicest thing I can say is that she's the most repulsive human being I know. I assume everyone at Emory is similar. She isn't stuck up, so much as a gigantic whore with this shrill cackle that pierces concrete. We literally had a noise complaint from the neighbors because of this girl's laugh.

So I worked for the government this past summer, and am now waiting for a round of pointless interviews before the budget decides if I get a permanent job. Should I stick with Jameson for the next few months or is there a better nightly whiskey regimen for this situation?

JudicialRestraints posted:They think that it will give me a 'better life than they had.' My hippie parents wanted to know "where they went wrong." Also, JR, if my tales of how our 3L OCI looks have taught you anything, it's that you'll want to just go straight Liquid Plumber.

evilweasel posted:Yes, a much cheaper one. I recommend Banker's Club. Probably a wise choice. I'm thinking I should only drink whiskeys that come in a plastic bottle until I have an offer letter (i.e., never).

I am pretty sure that attending law school is itself a harebrained scheme.

Our Dean is resigning effective the end of this school year, and I am considering applying for the job under the theory that our school will do anything to be able to count students as employed 6 months after graduation. Law school dean can't be too hard, can it?

Today in Professional Responsibilities, someone insisted that the code of professional ethics was actually a hindrance to society because it prevents lawyers from breaking the law. His evidence was first that "civil rights used to be illegal so if lawyers cared about laws African Americans wouldn't be able to vote right now." His final trump card after the instructor disagreed was that "if lawyers actually had to follow the law, we'd have never revolted against the British Empire and THERE WOULD BE NO AMERICA." 0Ls: these are your classmates.

He was also arguing that the WI Supreme Court Rules have no business imposing a system of morality on him. I'm looking forward to his MPRE scores.

FYI, this is how I ended up telling two Dorsey partners that their business model was dead. It really does feel good to take a parting jab sometimes.

JudicialRestraints posted:Talk to In Absentia. He did SEC in Chicago. I think he's currently in an alcoholic stupor waiting for the offer based on his summer that will never come. This is true. My advice is that if you get a job at something other than the SEC that may turn into a real job, you should probably take it. I think the recruiting directors would probably say likewise. Last I heard about month ago was: "we are waiting for our budget, have no idea when it will get here, and no idea what it'll be when it does." So basically to get an offer I need to pray they have budget room and didn't like any of the other four interns better than me. It's too bad because I really did love it there, and it was a great way to spend the summer. If nothing else, you have a great 10 weeks ahead of you, I suppose. So, congratulations. You've nabbed a highly-prestigious, moderately-compensated, intellectually-stimulating 10 week exercise that may get you nowhere but the bottom of a bottle. I'm more than happy to answer questions about it if you have them. I think my e-mail is in my profile, too.

billion dollar bitch posted:In absentia what's your gchat? Your email isn't in your profile. peterk13 is my gmail / gchat. I have company this weekend and might not be on chat much before Monday. I would say securities regulation would be helpful beforehand just so you have some of the core terminology. Of course, I didn't do this and instead sort of flipped through a study aid. That was more than enough, really. Also, yes, DC is more likely to get you a job, followed by NY, and somewhat distantly by Chicago. Any other region is close to 0%.

Final exam in 13 hours. Haven't opened the book in 2 days. Barely looked over the outline. But, you know . . . 3L. I also got a job offer today, so gently caress it. Having a scotch.
