This opened my eyes!

I had a 10/20 on my first exam of my first year and I'm currently studying for my next exam but I'm afraid to do, what the professor calls, a "brain-dump".

Thanks, again!

I was interested in this because someday I want to be able to become a lawyer.

I'm only 16 right now, but I'd like to know something before hand o.o..

This is awesome and really thought provoking! I really need to be more picky with my content and how relevant it is in my answer. Thanks from the UK!

@studentoflife01 I know old post,but it does in Roman Law, Capitis diminutio maxima,means the loss of a man's status,when in all CAPS you are basically a slave with no rights whatsoever. Google the latin term and you will find that this is used in our admiralty laws now. See any bank statements,credit card bills,govt. mail with your corp. fiction name on it. All caps is there for a reason and it means its a corporate fiction not a living blood,flesh being. You are not a person,you have a person!

@redskins2k I think the people who do well are generally those who are good at writing. Anyone who can organize an essay quickly and clearly can do very well, even with large gaps in their knowledge of the material. Students with poor writing skills, even those who have a perfect understanding of the material, can find themselves failing classes simply because they couldn't articulate their understanding on exams. You have to conclude writing ability must be a vital part of being a lawyer.

@ThomasJeffersonLaw Fascinating no?

Doesn't this demonstrate the arbitrary nature of words themselves? That the flesh and blood man is not some broad perception of linguistic syntax? How then can any court have personal jurisdiction over a living being unless expressed or implied?

[justaman6972]

@wind0wninja good to see you're still at it man. msg me ,I have some info for you,very useful.Peace...Jurisdiction is granted usually by trickery,the defendant has no idea what happend,hence the reason I sign everything with ALL RIGHTS RESERVED W/O Prejudice UCC 1-207 and say as much when in court,that I am challenging the JD of the court,then they have to prove they have it,and if I didn't grant it they cant have gotten it. Not w/o my consent. Anyway peace.

[wind0wninja]

@justaman6972 UCC is their code; as in theirs, meaning proprietary. Signing is merely the memorialization if the agreement meaning you already agreed to the terms & conditions. Anything else is contempt. Your first appearance in court is not your first court appearance. It's your first appeal. UCC stuff may work fine corp to corp but not against the state. Not when you're a citizen in collusion with it. If you really reserved your rights there would be no offer presented to sign; ab initio.

[justaman6972]

@wind0wninja it is their code,however one can step into and out of sovereignty and into the commercial realm anytime,so its a good idea to sign this way so as to safeguard any sneaky attempts in tomfoolery by the PTB. Cheers.

An A answer identifies correctly and fully all issues and subissues raised by the question. It states all applicable (and potentially applicable) legal rules and subrules with precision. It analyzes the facts of the question thoroughly in light of the applicable rules, and explores all alternative modes of analysis where appropriate. Finally, it applies the law to the facts to reach appropriate conclusions.

[brymarc]

this is a little BS-ish in my opinion ... i am a 2L at georgetown ... while professors don't like "brain dumps" out of a commercial outline ... they really like it when you "brain dump" their words on to an exam ... that is to say ... if you take really good notes in class, it has been my experience that if you just "dump" everything a prof said on to an exam ... you get good grades ...

[MurphGiovanni]

@brymarc agreed...i go to fordham, and most of my professors love it when students dump information, taken from their lectures, onto an exam...it is gratifying for them to feel like not everyone was on facebook during class

[brymarc]

@MurphGiovanni hahaha ... i don't know what i'd do if i couldn't access facebook, twitter, etc, etc, etc, during class though! i don't know how people used to "handle" law school pre-laptops (maybe the teachers were "actually" engaging?) hahaha

[methamp]

Good advice in general, but I think the most critical skill on exams is how to write them; and that has a lot to do with natural writing ability. Students who are able to make the most powerful argument in the least wordy way generally do better. Most students spot the issues.

Thomas Jefferson has a world-class faculty and we have many Superior Court Judges among our graduates, as well as the District Attorney, Public Defender, and many top attorneys.

[freedombiteback]

@ThomasJeffersonLaw Could you tell us the difference between legal and Lawful ? please...Peace...

@ThomasJeffersonLaw

I don't if anyone had stated this,

but David Steinberg has a slight similarity to the Austrian Economist Friedrich Hayek.
