Haha, I’m in Biotech/Genetics and watching the webcast
That’s an interesting rule change though. I’m sure he’s aware, but have you brought it to Holland’s attention?

Haha, Mintz Levin is the firm that gave me a music download card with my rejection last year. They’re so getting another resume this year.

I really like Gibson Dunn’s website too.

I think maybe you can only see it if you know it’s there (unless, of course, you’re more observant than Josh and I are.) I get it now, though, if that helps?

So I talked to josh and kim and they didn’t get it. Maybe the photo’s too big, or it’s like those magic eye photos that only certain types of people see?

This whole issue really weighs on my mind considering the industry ramfications. Jon Longoria wrote an interesting, albeit brief, article regarding the plausible thought process MBTA took going into this. You can check it out here: http://thereformed.org/2008/08/25/mbta-put-profit-before-security/

well done. my guess is fair use but the first day of copyrights is tomorrow. I’m merely trying to spread the word about the dangers of music piracy

Comment on Muscular Dystrophy, Motorcycles, and Schnitzel by Joshua Auriemma

Hey Daniel,

Unfortunately, I was just a volunteer and didn’t help organize the event. The only thing I can say that may be useful is that the local Harley Davidson shop was willing to give us a really good deal on a bike to raffle off for the event. I think the bike raffle pulled in the most money.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes!

This idea is awesome. I am trying to organize a ride for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy for our organization, Darius Goes West. Do ya’ll have any suggestions for help? Thanks for supporting the cause.

Comment on What Law School Classes Are Like / How to Take Notes In Law School by Joshua Auriemma

Hey Ryan. I’m glad you found the advice useful.

As far as exam prep goes, I honestly have no idea. Even if you go to a normally friendly school, the atmosphere tends to change around crunch time. People outside of study groups are generally pretty secretive of exam prep techniques / books.

I didn’t really read anything to prepare for exams. Usually the professors or the school will make old exams available. I found that to be the most useful — especially if they had provided a key. The annoying part of law school is that every professor wants something different on an exam. The trick is figuring out what kind of responses a particular professor is looking for. The problem with all those books is that they often like to give advice like, “never joke on an exam!” However, if you looked at my Contracts exam, you’d find a joke about quantum electrodynamics, and you won’t hear me complaining about that grade anytime soon.

Good luck.

Thanks for the tips! I’m also glad to hear (in your previous posts) that Law School Confidential was helpful. Miller’s methods seem great, and I can’t wait to put them to use this week.

Have any of your classmates found “Getting to Maybe” helpful for exams? I’m in the middle of that book right now.
