Before you do anything you should take a real LSAT under strict times conditions. You can buy them on amazon for ~$10. Your score without any studying will help us give you advice.

Where do you live in CT? I don't mean to be pessimistic but taking a Kaplan course will legitimately put you behind the 8 ball in your attempt to maximize your score. What did you instructor score on the actual LSAT?

I will get one done sometime this weekend and get back to you.

Fairfield. I haven't paid for the course yet; only reserved a spot. I will give them a call tomorrow to get some more information.

Although there is a Kaplan class offered at my university, I would be taking the one at a UCONN satellite campus due to class scheduling conflicts. Probably not a good thing since I'm sure the quality of students in the class definitely affects the experience.

I am a little stuck- as said I am a law student from germany - and writing a paper ... my question regarding to title VII of the CRA 1964 is, if I understand it correctly that the sanction/legal consequence is or may be an obligation to contract?


second question do I quote the original issue when talking about it? or what do I cite? Can't find amendet versions? Have access to westlaw and jstor heinonline (if you are familiar with it) , can't really find the current version? I read that it has been amended....

thank you!

Subject: What to Do? Impending Client Perjury at a Deposition

Client was sitting at a red light when her car was struck from behind, injuring her knee badly. She hired "first attorney," became unhappy with the lack of progress, and then fired "first attorney" and hired "second attorney."

On the intake sheet with "first attorney," Client identified the driver as "John." A demand letter had been sent to John by "first attorney."

At all times, Client told "second attorney" that the driver of the car that her was John. "Second attorney" filed suit against John. Discovery proceeded normally ("John" as the driver and no potential third parties) and depositions were scheduled.

The day before the deposition, Client has revealed to "second attorney" that in reality John’s wife was driving the car that hit her. She explains that John had told her to please keep his wife out of this because there was a warrant out for her arrest. He said he would "pay anything out of pocket." Client felt sorry for him and agreed to treat him as the driver.

It is too late to name John’s wife as a defendant.

What should "second lawyer" do? Counsel the client to tell the truth at the deposition and then disclose the perjury if she fails to do so? Withdraw from the case and instruct the client to find a third lawyer?

Since john has already offered to pay any amount out of pocket, offer to settle for some amount everyone would find fair, maybe a little more, to keep wife out of it. Delay depo. Why are you even doing a depo etc if everyone agrees on what happened? Could just keep it simple?

Well John lives in a trailer park and doesn't actually have 100k lying around. And no pi case ever (except for my first trial!) is going to not have depos

Anyone take the NBCE practice MBE exams? They give you scaled scores, but the questions seem way too easy. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with their score on those exams vs. the real thing.

Most were easier than the real thing, but I still found them to be very helpful during bar prep.

Your honor, my wife drives from passenger seat all the time.

ty, pretty much the feedback I've received... easier but they're a good measure of what topics are going to get emphasis on the real thing

I've done really well on the BarBri and NBCE questions, feel pretty confident if I can just do average on the essays

Got a 159 (77 raw) on my first, cold LSAT. It was June of 2007.

Games: 16/23 (aced 1st 2 games, ran out of time on last one, bricked 4 guesses)
Reasoning: 19/25
24/25
Critical Reading: 18/27 (felt pretty overwhelmed with this section)

Still trying to decide on this Kaplan in-class course. Its my only option for live courses in my area that fit my schedule.

u should be fine. anyone can get 100% on LG so you'll get another 7 correct there (and it seems like u ran -EV this time)

Pretty unlikely he ran -EV getting 16/23 on a cold diag, probably the opposite if anything. Fine is right though, 159 is an excellent cold diagnostic score. I would put that in the top 5-10% of cold diagnostics I've seen over ~500 students or so. Did you strictly time it? That class is going to be an absolute waste for you a huge percentage of the time (and honestly could hurt your LR score), but you seem committed to doing it so there you go.

With a cold score that high, I would consider it a disappointment to not get you into the 170s personally and I think you should demand that much of yourself as well. Either way, good luck, and don't slack on this. Every point you gain will be impactful for your admissions cycle, either in decisions or in $$$.

Damn, I feel like I messed up getting my cold 165 only into a 169.

I did only miss 3 or so on games though.

Hey if you're happy now then it's all good, but you certainly didn't maximize your potential, no.

Cold scored a 161 then after a month of living and breathing LSATs and a weekend prep course only got a 163 & definitely felt like an underachiever.

On another note, spending the wee hours of my 24th birthday on FRCP 26(b)(2)(B) makes those four horseman shots from my 21st birthday seem like fresh-squeezed lemonade.

Any big law refugees turned solos posting on here willing to share their experiences? With my debt finally semi-reasonable ($70kish) and a nice nest egg built up after 3.5 big law years, I find myself considering going for it. Basically, I find a lot of aspects of my job intellectually interesting and fulfilling, but I absolutely despise the lack of control, lack of flexibility, and big law culture generally. Being a solo would come with new concerns that are a little daunting, but I suspect I would really enjoy the business side of things.

On phone but MinnesotaSam is right. I had a similar raw score and took a Kaplan course-it was not worth it.

in a surprising turn of events, property got even more practically useless now that we are covering all of the estates stuff. on the other hand, loving it.

You're loving Property? You can't be serious.

estates part yes. its like logic games pt 2!

All I remember of estates is telling my study partner the night before the final that I thought that something was "a contingent vested remainder." She laughed pretty hard at me and said, "A contingent vested remainder? Uhhh...I don't think that's a thing."

Needless to say I wasn't very good at that class.

I actually had an appropriation of a public figure issue, which is something we discussed in property, come up yesterday. A client was putting together a newsletter that was basically an advertising piece, and the "story" drew heavily on an interview with a celebrity. The client wanted to know whether there would be an problem with using the quotes. But the main issue, as I discovered, was that the quotes they wanted to use were controversial and the celebrity later recanted and apologized for them. So the analysis was really more along the lines of wtf are you thinking.
