My friend made a very appropriate statement today-enrollment day: "I felt like I was in the Hunger Games for a second there, I had to move so fast!" Oh enrollment-another way law school has students compete with each other. The core classes aren't too rough to get into. It's the FUN classes; the skills classes and seminars that are impossible. These classes only hole 16-25 people. There are 185 in the "3L" class-you do he math. Granted, not everyone wants into the exact same classes, but there is a good number wanting into the hot topic classes.
Law and Literature-this is amazing for law students. We don't get to read literature, we get to read casebooks, so getting to read for pleasure and a grade is AWESOME!
Interviewing, Counseling, and Negotiation-this is a fun class where you get to actually act like a lawyer. You get to have mock interviews and a fake client. It is super fun.
Alternative Dispute Resolution-this is where you get to practice mediation and other ways of ending a dispute without resorting to litigation. It is another class you get to act in.
Employment Law Seminar-this is taught by our Dean of the Law School, so of course it is popular. Dean Harroz is a super fun guy and very intelligent. it always fills up fast.
I feel a little bad for the soon to be 2Ls, they don't get the chance to do too many fun classes. Then again, I didn't either-we've all been there.
