Y'all—
Some of us here are about to "graduate" to law school. Various members of our community (myself, @allison.gill.sanford , @alexandergreene93 ) have been discussing plans for a pre-law-school/0L study group.
The content will:
[Reading] basically be a copy/paste of @"Nilesh S"'s advice (Short and Happy Guides for Torts and Contracts, Glannon's Civ Pro Examples & Explanations).
[Meeting] Sessions to discuss concepts and practice issue spotting (using hypos gathered from various sources).
[Project] Practice exams exchanged/discussed by the group.
I think starting in mid May would be ideal. That would give us about 3 months to work on this before we're all likely to head into orientation week (ours is the very last week of August).
Interest? Ideas? Mostly we're looking to learn some black letter material and build our chops a bit before we head into the storm.

guh, come on yo, EST is the only important time zone, should use that as the base time :D :P
Invites may be received in different time zones than mine (Central) due to your Google Calendar settings. A quick Googling of "what time is X GMT in Eastern time" would resolve this for you.
Check the invite again. Check the time zone.
I think it is tonight. The email says Hong Kong time which would be tonight at 8 since they're 12 hrs ahead of us
@jhaldy10325 I agree. Can we get some clarification?
soooooooo email saying organization is today, but kickoff is tm... does that mean we are figuring out what we are doing and then actually starting whatev we decided to do tm?
We're having an organizational meeting on May 10th—we'll have a group discussion as to what we want to do then, days and times, etc! Right now it's looking like either Monday/Tuesday and Saturday but again, we will discuss to see what we want to do etc.
Ordered the Torts and Contracts books off amazon. Luckily I already had the Civ Pro book.
Looking forward to next Tuesday.
I believe an email was sent out for those who signed up with the times
Did we settle on meeting times?
bought all the book, but it looks like it might be a week or more before i get the civ book ( bought a cheap used one)
Just a little bump to invite y'all to use the sign up form :) http://goo.gl/forms/yJZeD6wYRM
Amazing! I had never heard of this site.
Thanks for the shout out @nicole I would also recommend using the audio outlines from audiooutlines.com - they are free and if you listen to them and transcribe them out, you will have a good foundation of law to build from. All the best.
done!
In!

Please count me in.

I'm glad I decided to check 7sage today! Count me in.
Sweetness!
Unfortunately we won't be doing any Canadian content. I know exactly nothing about Canadian schools or curriculum. While there will be some overlap as both countries are common law-oriented, once we get out of common law matters (like into UCC stuff for Contracts), I'm afraid I can't speak to how useful that would be for Canadians. Perhaps you guys can start your own group? Per LSAT Island's offer below:
This isn't an official 7sage thing, just a bunch of (s)nerds(/s)enthusiasts getting together.
I'll set up a Google form for you interested folks to fill out :D
<3
This sounds great, I've been wanting to do some prep work, count me in!
Definitely interested in this, count me in!
i am down. an invite only dropbox to share docs?
@nicole PM me if you want help with org/start up details
