I screwed up
When it came time to sign up for classes last December I sought to find the easiest, least stressful group of classes I could.
I signed up for Mass Communications Law because the professor rules and I get to write a paper instead of taking an exam. I signed up for Corporations because the spring section is easier. I signed up for Civil Rights Litigation because it's a subject I'm very interested in.
Finally, I signed up for Pre Trial Litigation because that's what I've been doing at work for about ten months now. The class is about depositions, interrogatories, motions, etc. I figured I'd have a pretty good understanding of the subject and it would therefore be easy.
Problem is, there's a lot of busy partner work involved. I don't mind the partner part, because at this point, you can usually count on the person you're working with unlike undergrad where I always wound up doing 90% of the work. I knew we'd have to play pretend lawyer in this class but I didn't count on spending half my Sunday working on a litigation plan. And I didn't count on there being busy work assignments every week.
I shoulda taken Con Law II.

You should have taken my schedule. After Feb. 4, I will only have two classes that actually meet.

Your class schedule is:
comparative law
international legal process
appellate brief seminar
supervised research
global studies l.rev.
I'm guessing the top two are the ones that meet past Feb. 4. Am I right?

What do you think of civil rights lit. so far. It's been a lot more confusing than I expected.
