Sneak Preview

An interesting factoid about the BBB: Future BBBs are available by entering the date of the BBB at the end of the url, after "http://www.law.berkeley.edu/students/services/bbb/bbb.php?date=" in the form "mm-dd-yyyy". For example, next week's BBB is already available (minus the "Announcements" section) here.

In other news, final exam schedules should be available no earlier than the first week of March, per Student Services.

Last, feel free to discuss class ranks in this thread. I honestly don't think it violates the "Honor Code," which prohibits disclosure of class rank "for any professional purpose other than obtaining a judicial clerkship or academic position." Anonymous discussions about class rank don't really qualify as a "disclosure" in the way the Academic Rules use the term. But even so, a discussion on class rank is useful to those applying for clerkships, and therefore any "disclosure" is for the purpose of obtaining a judicial clerkship/academic position.

Nice 1L legal reasoning... I'm sure it will carry you far.

does anyone know the top 10% cutoff for class of 2009?

Anonymous discussion is not "disclosure," unless it's a secret that *someone* is ranked #5 in the class or whatever. Plus, I don't think this blog counts as "a professional purpose." Anyway, I think your reasoning is fine.

as exciting as a thread about class rank is, boaltalk.blogspot.com has some comments in an unrelated post about how to remove those magnetic sensors from clothing when the "salesperson forgets" to do so...

Sorry to be off-topic but tomorrow in room 105 from 9-12n I will present an MPRE prep lecture. Because it's the first time I've tried this, I recommend that you don't rely solely on my lecture. All Boalt students are welcome.
