28 was a wonderful year. 32 was the beginning of a downward slide.
― chicago kevin, Monday, 23 July 2007 21:35 (eighteen years ago)
i think 32 is the beginning of an upward slide wait you know what i mean a slide that has footholds but is not a ladder, that is faster than a ladder. maybe a tow rope.

The State Board of Law Examiners congratulates you on passing the New York State bar examination held on July 24-25, 2007. Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of this lookup screen, each applicant must rely on the official notification (via U.S. Mail) as to whether he or she has passed the examination.

i'm beginning to think i don't have to do one but i coulda sworn the application said that, and everyone i know in other states has one. it's not a big deal though. you just show up and talk to some lawyers and they ask you if you have ever tried to overthrow the government and stuff

when they say, "Congratulations, Harbl, you are a lawyer," you should say, "I know you are but what am I?"

umm gbx do you maybe wanna I dunno finish doctor skool first?
― quincie, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:23 (sixteen years ago)
lol now you are makin me wanna take it, too!
― tehresa, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:24 (sixteen years ago)
it's ok to take it if you actually want to go but if you don't study for it (especially practicing a bunch of logic problems) you're gonna do bad and the score follows you forever. it's also expensive to take.
― harbl, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:27 (sixteen years ago)
well maybe not forever, 5 years or something? but if you take it again because of low score, schools can see both of them and they don't just take the highest one.
― harbl, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:28 (sixteen years ago)
i would probably not do it this dec but i dunno... maybe in the future some day...
― tehresa, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:29 (sixteen years ago)
it's not something you do just to see how you'll do or just to have aroundyeah it's kinda too late to decide to do it in december too!
― harbl, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:29 (sixteen years ago)
it's not something you do just to see how you'll do or just to have aroundyou could... it would be an expensive thing but it's probably not that out there for a lot of people.
― tehresa, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:37 (sixteen years ago)
you *could*
― harbl, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:42 (sixteen years ago)
MD/JD is a powerful combination, but do you really want that much schooling? There's also a big potential burn-out factor, I imagine. And a lot of debt and delay in starting your career. It would make more sense to me if you were trying to avoid the draft.
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 9 November 2009 01:43 (sixteen years ago)
you lawyers are so serious!
― tehresa, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:44 (sixteen years ago)
we don't like when other people become lawyers
― harbl, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:45 (sixteen years ago)
just saying it would be a silly to take it w/o doing the prep, and a waste to study if you weren't at least seriously considering law school (nb i didn't take a course but i would have totally bombed it if i didn't do loads of practice)
― harbl, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:47 (sixteen years ago)
i have been considering law school since i finished undergrad... lol.
― tehresa, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:51 (sixteen years ago)
then maybe u should take it, but def not in december!
― harbl, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:53 (sixteen years ago)
i took it in late september but i think i started studying in july or august. then i applied in january and february.
― harbl, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:54 (sixteen years ago)
hey ilxor lawyers: you should all participate in this http://www.vlany.org/aboutus/index.php

I briefly considered getting JD and doing IP lawyering; thank god for once I listened to my parents and actually *worked* in IP first and promptly discovered that I would sooner die than prepare patent applications.
I still think law school would be a very interesting experience, but a lawyer friend once described it as basically trade school, and that one should not bother with law school unless one fully intended to be an actual lawyer.
― quincie, Monday, 9 November 2009 01:58 (sixteen years ago)
Thanks for that link. I'd be happy to help. Actually, I used to be on the board of directors for a group of "young professionals" that supported the Florida Grand Opera, but I drifted away from it.

― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 9 November 2009 01:58 (sixteen years ago)
Litigating IP issues is interesting. It's a tough -- and a glutted -- area, tho.
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 9 November 2009 01:59 (sixteen years ago)
people always assumed i wanted to do IP lawyering bc of science background but it's totally not for me
― harbl, Monday, 9 November 2009 02:00 (sixteen years ago)
lol i love patent prosecution but i don't have the scientific background to be a patent attorney and being a paralegal is not enough for me.
i think i would seriously hate law school, but being a lawyer would be great. there are probably a lot of law-related things i can do in my field without being a lawyer, but it wouldn't pay as well.
― tehresa, Monday, 9 November 2009 02:01 (sixteen years ago)
Yeah, a law degree is helpful in many fields, even if you don't become a lawyer.

i think i would seriously hate law school, but being a lawyer would be great.
lol i am the opposite---my sister has told me repeatedly that i would loooooooooooove law school and HATE being a lawyer
and honestly that is the main appeal right now: grass is greener on the other side of the mississippi river (west bank: LAW, east bank: MEDICINE). my brane is more lawyery than it is doctory, by default, and while i know it is not true, the rigors of law school seem down right relaxing compared to the shit we're expected to do at the moment.
mostly i'm keen because we had some medical malpractice lectures last week (and some more coming up) and it was like a breath of fresh air compared to the usual med lecture
― how rad bandit (gbx), Monday, 9 November 2009 18:17 (sixteen years ago)
An old acquaintance of mine taught a medical malpractice seminar at my law school. The class consisted of 50% law students and 50% medical students. When hypothetical cases were discussed, the law students looked to attribute blame (e.g., "Something went horribly wrong here, and someone is responsible for it"), and the medical students were more likely to view it via systems analysis (e.g., "In an overtaxed system, something is bound to go wrong sometimes -- regardless of how qualified the caregivers are or how many safeguards are built into the system -- so it's not productive to go on a witch hunt to attribute blame"). He said it was the most interesting class he'd ever taught.

lol. You are correct, sir!
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 9 November 2009 18:38 (sixteen years ago)
damage is what raised the most eyebrows---you can do surgery drunk and blind-folded but if it comes off successfully, you can't be charged with malpractice. you can be dealt with ~other ways, but it isn't malpractice

guys shouldnt this all be on the "going to law school" lol thread

Not that I ever would, but it would probably be pretty badass to do surgery drunk and blindfolded and have it come out successfully.

i don't really like torts unless it's something i really care about, like kids with lead poisoning or something, being able to sue landlords. i think that would make me really happy.
