GREs aren't that bad! There are more people with law degrees than positions out there, even the ABA knows it and has admitted it. I know many J.D.s with no job at the moment.

I used to teach an undergraduate informal logic class that typically had lots of students using it to prep for the LSAT's. So any informal logic textbook or critical thinking textbook or class should be helpful on the LSAT's.

Usually these questions are closely guarded by the State Bar but this one was let out.



~~~~

A terrible storm was raging in the city and around. Visibility was very poor and the roads wee extremely wet and slick. Two automobiles were speeding down 2 different streets. The driver of the first car was speeding. The second driver was not speeding but was driving in violation of a statute which stated you may not drive while intoxicated.

The storm knocked out power in some areas but where these two streets intersected, power was not knocked out but the storm had damaged the street light controls such that the traffic lights in BOTH directions now both showed GREEN.

The municipality's traffic department had been notified of this condition at this intersection 3 hours earlier but had not sent out a crew or done anything else yet to rectify this condition..

The two drivers arrived at the intersection at the same time.


BOOM !!!! There was a HUGE crash.

How's the place across the tracks doing these days (post USNWR cheating revelations)? Applications down?

As far as I know they're still doing okay but have dropped in rank. After the former dean was arrested in a prostitution ring and guilty of weird condescending emails along with the USNWR fiaso its definitely a big black eye on the whole school. My friends on the program say their classes are still full so I guess its doing well enough.

Driver #2: DUI - Determination made by On-The-Scene LEOs.
Malfunctioning Street Lights - Not an issue in this circumstance.
MTD: ***** happens. Union CBA allows days to repair lights...get over it.

Short and sweet?

Driver 2 gets ticketed/arrested for DUI/Property Damage/Driving Against Court Orders/Violation of Probation-Court orders to consume no alcohol while under jurisdiction of court and/or probation control.

Driver #1: Ticket for "Driving Too Fast For Conditions."

Malf. SLs: They get fixed AFTER the storm.

MTD: See Union CBA Lawyers and enjoy the dance on the pin-head.
