Hello HS20, Good day. Yes, I completed the course. I apologize for the delay in responding to you. I did not visit the forum for a long time. After completing the Constitutional Law, I took Admin Law for the Jan-Apr 2024 term, and I completed that, too. The positive side was that the assignment submissions were due every Monday. So I could study on the weekends. But I had to give up all the weekends and evenings on more than one weekday to prepare for the study and assignments. The teacher was excellent and helpful. Answered questions within the next business days. While working full-time, this is doable. I am now thinking of taking two courses in the next term. -

I never understood the impetus to take a specific class for bar prep purposes given how differently certain subjects may be taught by a particular prof. My business associations course was fairly policy-based with little focus on any bar-tested content (academic led). In contrast, we covered a lot of the bar-related "what does the Act require for X to happen?" type stuff in an unrelated seminar (adjunct led). If you have no intrinsic interest, you would have come out of the former class pretty disappointed to find you just put in so many hours to be nowhere closer to your goal of learning the bar content. But I agree everyone should be taking some business law in law school. Even if you're not working in corporate law, you'll likely be running a business at some point in your career. -

You might have to move down a level or two in firm status / size. That is, find a firm where the mere fact you're a [Sister]-trained lawyer is impressive enough for them to hire you, irrespective of your lack of specific experience in finance. That's about all I can think of, assuming an internal move is off the table. -

I am old school, so I believe all law students should take basic business law (and tax, and evidence, and remedies, and family, and wills, and employment -- probably others). It's part of a basic legal education. Having said that, business law is fairly statute-based so it is probably one of the easier ones to "teach yourself" if you have to go that route. Lots of books on the topic. -

That's the thing. There is no "what they usually pay" at small firms. They will pay you the lowest reasonable amount they can negotiate. They may well pay different associates in the same year of call different amounts, particularly as they move up in seniority. If you can somehow gain intelligence on what colleagues in your year of call are making at similarly sized firms, that will be powerful. Otherwise, all you have (as suggested above) is a rough calculation based on a percentage of your expected cash collected. In this case it would be very helpful to also know what the firm sees as its overhead-per-lawyer figure. Does it have nice offices and lots of staff? Finally, if you don't care for negotiation you may be in the wrong profession .... -

Accepted with 157 LSAT and L2 around 3.9. I truly did not think this was even possible for me given my LSAT so I'm very grateful and will be accepting my offer.
