Also I should have taken some more courses that are relevant for the bar exam. Fuck my shitty life. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1953407&forum_id=2#20735057) |

Date: May 21st, 2012 3:41 AM Author: Cocky Jewess i feel like i don't really have a sense of what i'll be doing at all. I really fucked off in 1L, got subpar grades, i should at least have a better knowledge of the UCC/contracts. It is relevant to some extent.

Date: May 21st, 2012 3:44 AM Author: swashbuckling tanning salon voyeur they don't expect that you are know the ins and outs of the UCC. that is what westlaw is for. part of being a lawyer is figuring things out/researching as you go along. that is how you learn (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1953407&forum_id=2#20735091) |

Date: May 21st, 2012 4:04 AM Author: navy federal death wish keepsake machete Several TTTs/TTTTs do this or focus their 1L courses on state law, since very few grads will practice outside that state. Honestly, it probably gives them a leg up on the bar. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1953407&forum_id=2#20735161) |

Date: May 21st, 2012 8:41 AM Author: arrogant twinkling property cuck Some TTTs (there is no such thing as a TTTT) are basically 3 year bar prep courses. See Cooley.
It's a rancid, TTT thing to do. Anyone of minimal intelligence can pass the bar with 3-4 disciplined weeks of study. |

Date: May 21st, 2012 4:05 AM Author: navy federal death wish keepsake machete tell me about it. I'm doing this "MBE Preview" thing and i don't remember a god damn thing from 1L. I haven't touched a fucking litigation class since then; every single elective I took was business or corporate focused and of course that's very lightly tested on the bar. But yeah of course I need to know the fucking rules of evidence to practice as a corporate transactional attorney. fuck the bar, (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1953407&forum_id=2#20735163) |

they are recommended because at least they are worth something |

Date: May 21st, 2012 11:07 AM Author: Bateful step-uncle's house volcanic crater I feel the same way. I tried to take "relevant" courses or shit that seemed interesting or what I might want to practice, then 3L year I realized that I should have been taking all of those uncurved "Feminism & the Law" and "Water Rights Law," and "International Sphincter Law" seminars that only require you to write one 25-page paper and pad your GPA.
