Wow, today at work I am in charge of as serious nationwide issue arbitration. I can make or break my reputation in the organization on this one, though whether it's a good case or not initially has little to do with me.

I am in a serious bind about school now. I have always meant to take commercial paper because it was on the bar, but while it's on the VA bar, only Commercial Transactions is on the MD bar. There is a class I could quickly switch to - domestic relations (same day, later and more convenient hour, more interesting subject, less brainiacs in class). Domestic relations is on the VA bar, MD bar has "family law." I'm really wondering if I should switch from one to the other. I should have sat through the class last night.

Any input?

UPDATE - oops, I scanned the syllabus for the Domestic Relations class, and it is highly based on VA code sections. That means what I learned there would likely not apply to MD very well. I've emailed both professors for input anyway.

I was just going to ask if they have "student advisors" of some sort at school? Or are they not very helpful? (Mine never was, but that can't be true of all of 'em.)

It might be better for you to be in a more interesting class since I think that you not having much interest may have been part of your problem. I can't tell you what to do but that's how I see it. As long as it won't get harder for you at school it might be the right thing.

dude.

after the basic 6 (from your frist year of law school) you will learn EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW from your bar review course.

you could probably pas the bar WITHOUT loaw school if you paid attention in a bar review course.

Pay attention!?

I concur, and add that you will not learn much, if anything, in any law school class that will help you pass the bar. The two are completely different beasts.
