I'm finishing up my Ph.D in chemistry now and decided instead of being stuck to a bench I'd rather be using what I've learned to help people protect their ideas/inventions because I know how much work goes into making those ideas come to life. I also will get to constantly learn new science which is fun for me :smiley:

I like this very much. I've been a software engineer for 6 years, and I'd rather help engineers protect their ideas, and also learn from them than be stuck behind a computer for the rest of my youth.

If you're debt adverse then I'd suggest UMich Law, Chicago Law, Georgetown Law and Northwestern Law. Those are the schools where people I know have gotten full or near-full scholarship with just about your stats. With your stats, you don't need to go outside T-14 to get a school with great scholarship.

I'd try Columbia, Harvard, Yale and Stanford too, just for the sake of it.

The Core Curriculum.

Thanks!

Awesome! Congrats! What is CC by the way?

Thank you! I was waiting for someone to bring this up. JY knows the correct answer beforehand so sometimes he makes his explanations fit the answer even it it's off. I also took the group to mean large institutions. I think D makes much more sense than B. B attacks the premise! Maybe where D falls apart a bit it that the computer expertise said large institutions like universities and hospitals, so that makes the sample representative? You could also look at the sample as referring to the several computer experts. We don't know what several mean in this case so it may not be representative of all computer experts. I maintain that D is certainly a better answer than B.

For Question 21, I chose C. I notice that everyone else seems dismissive of C as a plausible answer. Is the only hole in the choice the fact that the passage never mentions legal problems with the telephone answering machine?

My reason for choosing C was that the analogy between the WWW and telephone answering machine puts the WWW in a context of a familiar, old communication tool for which if you consider carefully, could suffer from "same" copyright issues of the WWW.

I chose C. I rather felt that B completely misses the point. Apparently you felt differently.

I thought of C as in the sense that the WWW is a new communication tool that we're still trying to figure out how to define its copyright parameters. The telephone answering machine is an old communication tool that seemingly has similar parameters. I guess looking back, the passage never said there were legal problems with the answering machine. In your opinion what is the gaping hole in answer choice C?

@gs556950 Congratulations!!! If you don't mind sharing, what was your LSAT score and GPA?
