Through studying more hours than I knew I was capable of and fighting down ever-increasing waves of panic, I somehow managed to survive the first semester of my 1L year. These are the three most important lessons I gleaned from the experience.
Desperate for a good cup of joe? Here are some places (other than the ubiquitous coffee-shop chains) within walking distance from the NYU School of Law where you can get your caffeine fix.
After both my Contracts and Torts classes culminated in the final weeks with sections on "damages," it's only appropriate that I reflect back on the semester and, well, assess the damage.
Debating between attending either NYU or Columbia Law School? Rather than relying on a Magic 8 Ball, read this post, based on both facts and the perspectives of students from each school, to discover the differences and make your decision.
Today, my mind would be emptied of readings, homework, issues. Because today, a friend and I would be joining 47,000 runners, half of whom are international, in a long-awaited, heart-pumping event known as the 2011 ING New York City Marathon.
Something about being in the midst of my 3L year makes me take a reflective look back at my time at NYU Law, and I realize that being on a journal really is one my favorite things about law school.
