Date: January 17th, 2006 5:17 PM Author: Excitant nowag hall Just to let you know:
First, I will not have any input into LR admissions next year
Second, it's blind, blind, blind.
Third, he's anonymous.
Fourth, even if it weren't and even if I did and even if he weren't, I don't believe that the place for spite is when making an institutional decision with long-term repercussions. |

Date: January 17th, 2006 5:20 PM Author: Chest-beating native You sound reasonable. I should probably tell you that I was kidding when I wrote to Bauer. But this seems moot now. Congratulations on the clerkship - it's actually pretty awesome. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=341177&forum_id=2#4841613) |
|
Date: January 17th, 2006 5:22 PM Author: Excitant nowag hall Yeah, it's just that this is the time of year when you have to be pretty careful not to overset the turnip cart. Lots of people are touchy, and things that normally seem funny sometimes come off way differently right around now. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=341177&forum_id=2#4841638) |

|
Date: January 17th, 2006 5:30 PM Author: Excitant nowag hall Noooo.... That would mean that there are probably a score more 1Ls from Michigan reading this thread, and the chances of more than one of them being touchy are pretty high.
Tone doesn't come across well on the internet, and tone doesn't come across well when people are stressed. For the next few weeks, you will deal with people who are stressed. Everyone around you will appreciate it if you speak in a soft voice without using swear words when mentioning grades. |
|
Date: January 17th, 2006 5:34 PM Author: Chest-beating native Actually, your tone came across very well in that second paragraph. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=341177&forum_id=2#4841738) |
|
Date: January 17th, 2006 5:37 PM Author: boyish senate selfie I'm not sure how someone was supposed to interpret "You gonna answer, you fucking dimwit?" as an inherently friendly comment on a board renowned for its abusive nature.
Just a thought. |

|
Date: January 17th, 2006 5:50 PM Author: boyish senate selfie Actually, no. I finished up at NYU because my SO started work out here. That pretty much precluded me from being involved. I hear it's a good team, though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=341177&forum_id=2#4841886) |

Date: January 17th, 2006 6:01 PM Author: boyish senate selfie No, we were supposed to celebrate in person, but I had to find out that you left NY without calling via your blog. :)
It's a nice feeling, but studying for the Bar sucks. There is just something about sitting with an iPod Mini and listening to BarBri lectures all day that takes the satisfaction out of being done. heh. Ah well, only one more month and then I am a working man.
How is your last semester going, or has it not started yet? |
|
Date: January 17th, 2006 5:23 PM Author: Fragrant magical orchestra pit you are of course perfectly right about 1-3.
but i am not talking about spite. i am talking about an apparent anger management problem, his failure to deal with frustration and total lack of social skills (i don't mean the swearing, that's cool, but like you've said yourself, he doesn't understand that he could better just ask his friends--oops, what friends?--instead).
i wouldn't want to work with a moron like this on lr. well, why are we kidding ourselves, won't happen anyway... |
|
Date: January 17th, 2006 5:27 PM Author: Excitant nowag hall I wouldn't judge anyone by what they said or did in the angst of first grades. There are some very cool people who get uptight or upset from time to time. He chilled eventually, and I don't think he realized that he came off harsher than he intended. I wouldn't judge him based on that one interaction.
And first-semester grades are absorbed almost directly into your bloodstream. They materially alter how you'll view law school over the next three years (although they shouldn't). |

Date: January 19th, 2006 2:28 PM Author: Balding parlour It is not exactly blind. The writing component is blind, but in the 2nd and 3rd round, the people have access to your biographical information, your personal statement, and other information you choose to reveal. If you act as an asshole here, chances are this is not the only place where you act that way. Someone might recognize you as "That annoying guy" and might subsonciously not push very hard for your admission. On the margins, it might make a difference.
While acting out of spite is inappropriate when making LR admission decisions, it is absolutely appropriate to select people with positive attitudes who can work with others. |

There are people who steadily improve and people who never budge. Many of those people find great jobs.
And what I meant to say is: you now know the result of 1/24th of your law school career. It tells you nothing. |
