I am studying. A lot. Practicing. A lot. But I'm still freaking out. A lot.
Any last minute tips on exam writing?

I like to go through the exam and spot all the issues right away and type those in. After I have grabbed them all (or at least all the ones I see!) I start IRACing each of those individually. If you get towards the end and are short on time, try to at least do a quick 3-4 sentence IRAC of each issue even if you can't fully analyze it.
Good luck!

Thank you so much! I am dreading the 1st exam b/c it is handwritten and I am so much better about typing and moving blocks of copy around!!! Thankfully the rest are on the computer. 
Good luck to all of you on exams!

Congratulations! Doesn't it feel great to be done?
I better get back to studying for my last two exams. Ugh.

I'm back at work and clinic (although thankfully not classes yet) and I just wanted everyone to know how much I hate string cites. See, also a lot, very much, with every fiber of my being.

The thing is, most judges don't like them either. Cite a few cases and let it go.

I was updating the appendix for an upcoming petition, so I was reformatting text from Westlaw into the appropriate format - so annoying. The cite started with Meyer v. Nebraska and went through PP v. Casey - I've never hated italics so much in my life.

It's better than having to underline cites. A partner at my firm won't allow associates to use italics in cites...EVER.
