I took the Borenstein class and it turned out to be very good. Thanks for the advice :-)

Which one would be better for Evidence: Givelber or Borenstein?

>>Trouble is, you're not likely to find anyone who has taken evidence with BOTH. But I hear from separate sources that they're both excellent. You could register for both, sit in the first class, look at the syllabus and requirements, and then decide.

My own experience was with Borenstein. He is a wonderful, generous teacher with a ton of practical experience to share and a quirky sense of humor. Very warm & personable. I loved the class and the final exam was very fair.

I was recently accepted into the school. Should I accept or decline?

RPS

Definitely accept. NUSL might have its issues (as detailed below), but it almost certainly has the least miserable students of any law school in the country, and excellent access to faculty and cooperative learning.

Thanks for the response. Are there any conflicting opinions?

To whomever took the roasted veggie 'n' cheez burrito out of the downstairs freezer on or about April 22: stealing is wrong, and you need to buy me a new burrito. They sell them at the Star Market. Thank you, Rachel W.

I Applaud Adam!

Thanks for doing this Adam! Bethany

Hmm. That doesn't look like much of a "rant". I thought we were supposed to complain!

--->DON'T KNOW WHO WROTE THIS BUT I AM STICKING TO MY STORY -- ADAM RULES FOR DOING THIS; HIS NOTES ARE PARTICULARLY AWESOME.

BUT, SO AS NOT TO DISAPPOINT -- WHAT IS WITH YOU PEOPLE EATING SO LOUDLY DURING CLASS??!! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, NO MORE CRUNCHY APPLES THAT SPAN THE COURSE OF AN HOUR, AND/OR CRACKLING CHIP AND BROWN BAGS AND SUB WRAPPERS, RIGHT IN MY FREAKING EARS!!!! EAT QUIETLY PLEASE. IT IS AS BAD AS GETTING INTO AN ELEVATOR WHEN SOMEONE HAS A SAUERKRAUT AND LIMBERGH CHEESE SANDWICH IN THERE.

My name is Amy and I would like to rant, as I'm sure we all would, about the evil legal practice assignment most of us are stressing over this weekend. If I have to type "third party crime", "Housing" or "another exception to the no duty rule is. . ." I am seriously going to scream. Also the people above me are making so much noise I can't stand it! Any creative suggestions for getting them to stop? Oh, thanks for the page. This is great!

I think this is a brilliant idea - thanks Adam. Maybe now my NEU inbox won't be clogged with nonsense! Since this is called a ranting forum, I guess I'll rant about the pervasive spamming at NUSL. What are the psychological underpinnings for people who feel the need to rant to the entire school? Maybe its a Freudian thang. -KRB

Legal Practice has sucked the life out of me ... and I fear LCD is next ... CLB

I would like to give a BIG FU to myself for choosing a school that can't keep the elements off me while in class... I had no idea that "dedicated to the public interest" meant "we have no money for basic amenities." They should film "that 80's show" at Northeastern Law...

Yup. Got rained on during an exam. __________________________________________________________________

Federal Policy

I. Congress Cutting funds to States

II. Judicial Cutting access to Federal Court

III. Executive Cutting Affirmation Action

Result = Individual States doing Whatever, Whenever to Whomever it pleases?

Individual States, in and of themselves, have never protected my rights.

Do you think they will protect yours ?

Am I going to wake up one morning and see signs that say "White Only", "Colored Only" ?

In the absence of affirmative action will state governments take a policy of "benign neglect" ?

Please Tell me if I am alone in my thinking?

Hey--just read your rant about the poor quality of the facilities. Made me feel better about my school (University of Colorado). It has possibly the worst academic building I have ever been in, but at least it's weather tight.
