Bull or Bear Market for your Law School Investment?

By Casebook Sherpa On 01/05/10 · · In 3L, Career Prospects, Law School Experience

Today, I’m reading this interesting debate over at the New York Times website, asking the question whether MBA students are “students” or “consumers.” I wouldn’t say the arguments made are earth shattering or particularly insightful. But the question posed is an interesting, albeit purely theoretical, one to me. So pardon the completely [...]

CUA Law Professor on e-textbooks

By Casebook Sherpa On 12/09/09 · · In Law School Experience

Catholic University Law School Professor, Robert Destro, was quoted in this New York Times piece about the prospects for e-textbooks in the classroom…

Electronic textbooks may one day offer a convenient way to study, said Ms. Epps, literally lightening a student’s load. That’s already happened at Catholic University of America in Washington, [...]

“At least, that is how I read Hubbell. No one is really sure.”

By Casebook Sherpa On 11/10/09 · · In Law School Experience

This was a quote at the bottom of a page of our Criminal Procedure syllabus.

Hubbell refers to United States v. Hubbell, a case that grew out of Ken Starr’s Whitewater investigation (which, of course, grew into the Monica Lewinsky investigation, President Clinton’s impeachment, etc).

The case itself is significant in that [...]

Wisdom from Land Transactions.

By Dr. Bombay On 10/28/09 · · In Law School Experience

A quote from my Land Transaction and Finance Professor today:

“Just remember this when you’re in practice: don’t ever try to answer hypotheticals. [My associate] was trying to answer a client’s question today, and I had to intervene. I told her that ‘there was no question because there were no facts.’ We don’t deal in hypotheticals when [...]

Mid-Term Time

By Casebook Sherpa On 10/19/09 · · In Law School Experience

I’m working on two take-home mid-terms at the moment.

One is not graded. Well it’s self-graded and then the professor grades it pass-fail. You pass so long as you give a reasonable effort at answering and evaluating your own answer. The professor gives you some feedback but none of it affects your final grade.

Stop and Smell the Lawsuits: GW and Those Troublesome Evening Law Students

By Magnus Wellborn On 10/12/09 · · In All In Good Fun, Hypos, Law School Experience, Law School Rankings

Every now and again, we all need a diversion from the rigors of work and law school.  Being devoted law students, however, we don’t have time for real pleasures or dalliances like stopping to smell roses, so we must find joy in that last remaining respite: daydreams of suing Deep Pockets.  This is the first [...]
