PremiumFrequentCrane

TiredOfThisGrandpa

@PremiumFrequentCrane Is right.

TiredOfThisGrandpa

13:15

You'll forever have those days where shit ain't getting done. Just a matter of how you handle them. (IE using Chatgpt to draft a motion for leave like meeeee)

NosyBeagle

13:52

look at my lawyer dawg... im going to jail

TiredOfThisGrandpa

13:55

Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.

TiredOfThisGrandpa

14:05

For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.

NemoPropheta

15:34

NosyBeagle

15:53

a two hour nap in between sections would be great for me

ronniedoeslaw

15:58

LSAT isn’t horrible you just have to lock in really hard for 2 hours and expect to be exhausted the rest of the day mentally

bigfatsloth

16:30

ugh i hit this lady w my car

bigfatsloth

16:31

well i hit her car and the cops said there's no damage but she says there is should i call my insurance what u think lawyers

VersedHugeDog

16:38

real quick question. How much do early applications matter? I have super strong softs and an ok LSAT score of 160. GPA wasn't great at 3.33. I applied in late march and I have been rejected everywhere so far

NemoPropheta

16:58

late march is way too late

NemoPropheta

16:58

early doesn’t matter but before thanksgiving matters

ronniedoeslaw

16:59

Have you used the LSAC search for schools link? It helps a lot letting you know the probability of acceptance.

RasheedWallaceFan

17:10

I mean early early might be overblown but dont apply if you are applying in march
