remi- I'm taking Crim Pro pass/fail and was planning on rocking the zero effort law review outline C+. Now I can't.

Fly, with such a sad story you have inspired me to include you in my 2+2 obituary. The pertinent part will read: "He is survided by FlyWf, who will graduate life with pass."

Never heard of drug tests. My firm did do a background check after giving me a summer offer and again when I was filling out my stuff after i got a full time offer. just standard stuff like confirming job dates and running crim background check.

No drug test or background check at my mid sized midwest firm.

Im starting at an insurance def. firm (in Canada) in a couple of months so I'm also in reading any TRs or if anyone knows any cool blogs or something (for day in the life type stuff not subtantive legal stuff).

A question for those of you at schools or firms that use Symplicity:

I have a friend who recently moved back to Atlanta after graduating from law school in neighboring state. Apparently his school also uses Symplicity and has a reciprocity agreement with my school to share listings. In order for him to view job listings he is supposed to go to career services at my school something like once a week to view listings and any job he applies for will indicate he is not a student at my school (not sure if it will indicate what school he attended). He wants to use my login to view listings because he is convinced that career services will for some reason screen like 75% of the jobs from him and save them for students at my school. He also wants to apply for jobs directly instead of through Symplicity because he thinks any indication that he is not a local student will insta-exclude him from any any chance at getting an interview. Is he crazy, or are these legitimate concerns?

he is crazy. fwiw i forward my friend postings all the time, but i just copy and paste them into an email and let him apply via email or paper mail as indicated in posting.

with all these law revue parodies and stuff, how come nobody has done a remake parody version of Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner?

probably because you're all a bunch of losers who don't like good music.

um can anyone (even the amateur lawyers here) pm me about an ebay case. it is over an embarrassingly small amount of money, but this lady has pissed me off to the end of the world and id have NO problem taking a huge net loss on this if it meant she got in any sort of legal trouble. i have rock solid proof (shipping forms, video footage from ups of THEM packing it and sealing the box) and would GLADLY pay lawyer fees to get her in trouble for anything and everything possible (slander for lying on my feedback? no idea but attempted theft?) fwiw she claimed the box she received was empty, when she was disproven there and lost the dispute she is now saying that the box was empty except for styrofoam and plastic.
again, i WOULD ****ING LOVE to put her in her place.

should i be the snob that points out it would be libel?

haha yeah i realized that 5 minutes after posting. found basically the exact same situation on a law board though so hopefully this idiot lady gets what she deserves.

Ha ha, yeah I saw these on ATL. The NYU ones made me laugh, but I thought the UVA one was horrible. Plus the dance troupe was made up of my favorite classmate to hate - the law school chick who was average at best most of her life and now through pure delusional magic thinks she is some kind of a catch.

This is awesome.

Who's your exam schedule?

Here's mine, have 5 in 7 days:

Wednesday- Law and Econmics (Pretty sure I did good on this one since I had the prof for 2 other classes already)
Thursday- Admin Law (just finished, questions were objective and I knew most of the answers)
Fri- ConLaw 2
M- Evidecne
T- Advanced Civ Pro type class

I took my secured transactions yesterday. It had brutality.
§ 9-508. EFFECTIVENESS OF FINANCING STATEMENT IF NEW DEBTOR BECOMES BOUND BY SECURITY AGREEMENT.
(a) [Financing statement naming original debtor.]
Except as otherwise provided in this section, a filed financing statement naming an original debtor is effective to perfect a security interest in collateral in which a new debtor has or acquires rights to the extent that the financing statement would have been effective had the original debtor acquired rights in the collateral.
(b) [Financing statement becoming seriously misleading.]
If the difference between the name of the original debtor and that of the new debtor causes a filed financing statement that is effective under subsection (a) to be seriously misleading under Section 9-506:
(1) the financing statement is effective to perfect a security interest in collateral acquired by the new debtor before, and within four months after, the new debtor becomes bound under Section 9-203(d); and
(2) the financing statement is not effective to perfect a security interest in collateral acquired by the new debtor more than four months after the new debtor becomes bound under Section 9-203(d) unless an initial financing statement providing the name of the new debtor is filed before the expiration of that time.
(c) [When section not applicable.]
This section does not apply to collateral as to which a filed financing statement remains effective against the new debtor under Section 9-507(a).


I have absolutely no ****ing idea what that means. I don't think anyone does, or can. It is all words I know the meaning of, in an order that doesn't violate any significant laws of grammar, but my comprehension of it is essentially nil.

I took the Securities Regulation exam today, and all the laws look exactly like that one. The lesson I learned is that I shouldn't take anymore business law classes ever again.

Argued my last case today. Almost done w/ bar application.

Final next Wednesday and the following Tuesday.

I could have done the Tuesday one earlier and finished everything by Wed., but I'd prefer to space it out and take it easy.

25/50 HU against some TOTAL drooler

100 or so hands in: Hero raises 4s5s otb to 150 and villain calls.

Sorry for the vent. Carry on. I feel better now.

kool?

fds,

Cool. Ship me $10k plz.

^^^ forgot i was dealing with law students...my bad

wouldn't expect nothing less. a simple "that sucks" works

but yeah, wrong thread on my part...so sorry for that

plus, he gave it all back.

in other news, I'm filing a motion for a judge ro recuse himself for a case I'm runnign for my friend. This ought to be interesting since I drafted a 10-page motion pretty much saying that he's just a total douche and I need to get the oral argument on the record since I know we're gonna lose, but at least it creates grounds for appeal. Oral argument should be fun!

Noah,

Secured Transactions is EZ. I thought you had law review outlines? They translate that nonsense for you.

flywf ≠ noah

are you sure about that?

you mean his IRL name might be Noah too!?!?!?
