I’m burdened by my first law school course decision and frankly I don’t think I’ve got enough information. My choices are Administrative Law with Prof. Bush or Practice Skills with Prof. Marrus. While I’ve heard good things about the both of them my beef isn’t with who’ll be teaching it’s what they’ll be teaching. Should I go with a heavy substantive class like Administrative law that would be sandwiched into a 5 week course or should I get the benefit of Practice Skills and learn what it would take to actually work day to day in a firm. The way I framed that question the answer should be obvious but I’m not so sure.
What makes this not much of a decision, at all, is that according to the registration lottery, I shall be one of the last to register for my class. Therefore I might have my decision made for me. Forgive me law school alumni/class professor/future client/girlfriend that I will not have because I’m a library hobbit - for I do not know what I do.
P.S. Just discovered that http://barelylegalblog.blogspot.com and barelylegalblog dot com point to two very different things. The first one’s about law school. And the second one, which I went to thinking I was going to the first is quite different. Let’s just say there not much legal about the second one. So don’t go there. And because I told you not to, you will. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’m warning you now. There I said it. You’ve been given due notice.
