Cool, thanks - I'm not sure if I'll ever get enough to get something good, but I have over 1000 points for each right now, so I'm off to a good start.

They give 10 points per day on Westlaw just for signing on, right? Then they also have quizzes and stuff for points. Lexis has these random giveaways for points all the time. I got 15,000 once from one. Definitely do it....the points add up. I wish they offered Westlaw points for attorneys!

Yeah, every day you sign into Westlaw is 10 points, with 15 more available for answering the True/False question. I've entered quite a few contests too; it's easier to get the points on there than on Lexis.

Before I forget, good luck with finals!

Is it me, or is there just not enough hours in a day

It's not just you...thanks, and good luck to everyone else with exams.

Lexis sucks.

Lexis was fabulous my first year and then they changed it my second year, really scaled back how many points you got.

There was one week where I logged onto Lexis at the same time (during Civ Pro) three days in a row and got 1000 bonus points. Yes, instead of giving out 100 bonus points, they gave away a 1000 a pop.

I got SOOO must stuff from them and Westlaw. Miss the free stuff. And I miss Lexis. I hate Westlaw (which is what my firm uses because the Lexis reps annoyed the hell out of them)

I liked the writing style of the opinion even less in Pennoyer, although the bright line rule was nice.

I'm kind of liking this jurisdiction stuff though - I think that makes me somewhat psychotic. That, and my CivPro professor is awesome.

KLPDaisy - I'm guessing it will hurt her, since law schools see every time someone takes the exam. I'm not sure if they see every time a person no-shows. I can't imagine it's a good thing, but I'm not sure just how bad it is in the eyes of law schools.
