View Comments | Post CommentNext Year's Classes
I recently submitted my course requests for next year. Only while compiling my next year's schedule did I realize how much 1L schedules suck. In each term for next year, I went through the entire course schedule bookmarking courses I really wanted to take. In each term, I bookmarked more than twenty classes. That's awesome. I had one in which I was really interested this year (Property).
Fall
If I get the perfect schedule, here is what I'll have next year. If I get all of these, I'll have to drop one of the 2 credit courses. I'm especially excited about... well... every class except Evidence. I don't think I'll especially like Evidence, but I need to take it, all the more so for mock trial.
- LAWJ-165-05 - Evidence
Michael Gottesman, 4 credits
TR 03:30PM-05:30PM - LAWJ-267-05 - Law of Cyberspace

R. Paul Margie and James Assey, 2 credits
R 06:15PM-08:15PM - LAWJ-361-05 - Professional Responsibility
Robert Drinan, 2 credits

W 11:10AM-01:10PM - LAWJ-196-05 - Free Press Seminar
Lee Levine, 2 credits
T 10:00AM-12:00PM
Spring
I probably won't get Patent Trial Practice (it is a very hot course, and limited to an enrollment of 14 students), in which case my top preference is Law And Philosophy Seminar, with John Mikhail, a joint Law and Philosophy department course. Either way, if I get all of these, I'll have to drop two of the classes.

if you get into information privacy law, i will consider you a big giant pussy if you don't call the professor, "professor marc fucking rotenburg" at least once...if not every time you address him in class or elsewhere.

You're treading in dangerous waters taking Drinan. Go with Frisch for PR in your third year.

Aside from the danger that he'll die and screw up my schedule, what is the danger with Drinan? I thought he was supposed to be pretty cool? I'd love to take it with Frisch, but he isn't teaching it this year, and if I want to do a clinic my third year, I have to have taken PR.

I'm looking at your Spring semester choices....and I'm sensing something. Wait, wait, it's coming to me....you're into Intellectual Property law, aren't you?
Not that it matters in the slightest, but Property was probably my least favorite class in all of law school. This is proof of one of two things, if not both: (1) we had different professors, (2) we are different people.

Hey IP geek! You seen this? It looks right up your alley: http://www.law.duke.edu/cspd/comics/digital.html
If I were more tech savvy I'd display that as a link.

Oh hey! ....looks like your tech savvy-ness covers for my lack thereof.
Posted by: Ben at April 28, 2006 12:41 PM
Yep, I had seen that.

I've met with Drinan and he's a really great guy. That said, I've heard nothing but bad things about his classes - very unstructured, boring, you don't learn anything in lecture and have to teach yourself. He seems cool enough to almost make up for it, and I hear his finals are really easy, though. I have him as my alternate if I don't get into Human Rights with a different professor (which I probably won't).
I followed your example and posted my course selections on my blog.
