took a bunch of BS litigation courses, it turns out I took all the wrong shit. Also I should have taken some more courses that are relevant for the bar exam. Fuck my shitty life.

why don't you believe practicing poasters when they say law school classes are irrelevant and do not help you when you're practicing

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.

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

They should at least offer classes in THE LAW OF THAT STATE as electives so the ones who are going to stay in that state will be prepared to practice there.

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.

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.

Agreed. If you spend 3-4 days a week studying until the end of June and then go crazy, you should be fine

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,

lol it doesnt matter bro. having taken bar classes only marginally helps you study for the bar

they are recommended because at least they are worth something

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.

When I finally wised up and took them during 3L year, my GPA took off! No wonder all of those slackers got latin honors.
