Thanks! I found the thread (for some reason wasn't showing up in a search, so I just scrolled through your old posts :) ). I'll swing by the stores mentioned. Should be fun since we're staying in an apartment overlooking the Thames.

Been away for a while due to beginning a new job, house buying, etc..., but I'm off to England in a month. Due to the big red message at the top of my screen, I'm not sure if it's against the rules to discuss places to go in England now. Or Scotland/France for that matter. If it's not, let me...

Thanks guys! Twas a good day, minus bar classes, lol.

1850 billable target...mine will be 2000 to hit bonus! :( The basic assumption I've been told is that when you're first starting, you're very inefficient. Because of this, you can assume at a minimum 1.5 real hours for each billable hour, and that's assuming you have the work in front of you...

I think I can give you some very pertinent and relevant information. Background, I just finished my third year, and I'm graduating today! Well, Friday. My first summer I clerked for a firm that has roughly 250 attorneys. Second summer I split 3 ways between a 250 firm, a 350 firm and a 700+...

Me: O3 Mazda 6s, Sport Package, etc... 2000 Yamaha YZF 600r Wife: 08 Mercedes SLK 280, AIR SCARF <---greatest thing ever!, and other various things It's almost time to get a new car or a new bike. Only 78k on the clock on the Mazda, so I figure I can run it closer to 90k before I get a...

For your price range and her needs, I really don't think you can go wrong with a Dell. If you decide to do a Mac, find anyone whose a student and use their student discount. Knocks between $100-200 off the price. As for the Dell's, every week or so they come out with some pretty sick deals. Is...

I knew there was a reason I kept checking CA's website...and check out India Allen while there. Sorry if this has been posted before, didn't see it. Linky

I quit on Level 7. I saw my level of frustration slowly rising...it was not good lol.

Man, I really want those Monte Sublimes! If anyone puts together a split, I'm in! :thumbs:

Thanks for the Penn. tip - definitely agree on acquiring it, even if just for looks. I'll probably get the DC one as well - from my understanding if you graduated from an ABA accredited school and got whatever minimum scores on the MBE and MPRE you're admitted to the DC bar. You're probably...

Yeah, everyone keeps telling me that. I figure if the firm is gonna pay for it, I'll take any edge I can get to pass, especially my first time around. Hopefully if I ever need to be admitted to another bar I'll either get reciprocity (which I hear most states don't have) or be in a more...

My 2 cents, if everyone just ignored these posts and reported/PMed Rod or some such, I think the purpose is served better. I'll now go back to ignoring these type of posts. No point in arguing with the majority of these guys, and the ones who made an honest mistake will read and correct it...

2nd year 1st semester was the worst semester I had. Not grade wise, but stress and time management wise. I was taking 4 courses (2 of which were Fed. Tax and our version of Agency/Partnership and Corporations combined), on Journal (citechecks, paper, sources, etc...), OCI (on campus interviews -...
