Two, the law school

2.1 early impression

Now is to go to law school, the main library IUB just went to the hall.

School of law office, classroom, library in a building, very convenient.

There are various areas, the law school library everywhere sofa, there are talks and reading area, reading area, comfortable, quiet, very pleasant, said many foreign students to mix law school library, sometimes thrown out.

2.2 classes

So listen to a week of classes, contract law, administrative law, corporation, "race, society and law, constitution design."

The first impression is, any class, the teacher began to speak, not with the microphone, the sound is normal, more than 100 people in the large classroom, the back can also hear. The classroom quiet only hear the teacher's voice, percussion keyboard sounds, clothes friction sound, unless the discussion begins, no other noise. Analysis for several reasons, one is the students tuition is more expensive (JD a year to about 50000 now), make so much money, he does not learn, delay myself nobody will do; two, because is GRADUATE, undergraduate, (listening class, most of JD class, some of the LLM to listen to), know what they want, so the initiative; three is the classroom in good condition, all central air-conditioning, carpet, seat all students high backed chair, not easy to echo.

Second is a course of law, America, because of the common law tradition (CASE LAW), each class is almost the case discussion. The scientific system of American review cases not mentioned. Our Supreme Court has just issued 12 guiding cases. These courses are through the case in terms of theory (restatement), you do not read the material, class basically white. I came to nothing (no books -- America law thief Guia, 200 knife upward, contract law, JD said to rent textbooks at $130 a semester, I asked how much the price, he says he didn't want to know; no data -- not in advance with the teachers, is not included in the ONCOURSE system, so the no data), basic.

Third, the impression is the teaching management system, everyone to his own account, you can see their chosen course, teacher and data upload. It's so convenient.

Fourth is the teacher in charge. In each class, the teacher have a class on the written description, requirements, how to score and course briefly directory. Then each class will be ahead of the required data upload. Each professor should have his assistants, in fact, a class of students. More than 100 people, difficult teacher to remember the names of all the people, but it seems that most people's name, with the teacher asked the students to make a card to the teacher by email format, in order to use.

Fifth, is the teacher's enthusiasm and patience. Professor AMAN Corporation, Professor HENDERSON and Administrative law upon receipt of my mail soon after I joined the class list, you can log on to ONCOURSE system, data download each course, including courseware, case study as well as reading material; race, society and law LOVELACE taught me about 10 a.m. Friday morning talks, tell me the structure of curriculum, some background of the case, see me USA law book good expensive, made the "MAKING CIVIL RIGHTS LAW", the civil rights movement USA 1930-1960's, which mainly is a former Supreme Court justice THURGOOD MARSHALL (now Lord Justice Thomas is connected with his class) was a civil rights lawyer when do contribution to the civil rights movement, not strictly legal textbooks, just reading data, popular, best-selling books. I think Professor LOVELACE's course should meet me on the USA civil rights movement and the relevant cases of interest.

Three, rich and colorful campus activities

Law school lunch is often in the classroom lectures, each lecture, have offered free meals, pizza, sandwiches, enough, the student is a draw.

Provide law school about the lease contract free pizza:

A variety of campus activities are also many, associations, student activities, each activity seems to have free Food and small gifts, the temptation to everyone involved, with two rubber yellow duck.

KELLY Business School (it is said that the global ranking, should be within 10.) the student activities, free food, eat brace (a friend Micro message that I say eat, Is it right? In America hungry, not really, American eating is not expensive, generally 7-8 knife a meal, some BUFFET also this price, the formal point will be more expensive, I wanted to lose weight it):

Homemade hamburgerAs well as

Last night, eat a free dinner, Kelly support, 5:30 went to the discussion about the SNOWDEN law school, 5 experts, 10 minutes each time, fast to the host will remind (every expert with the 10 minute limit "). The last is the summary of the old Mr Hamilton (head of white hair, similar to the domestic Jiang Ping teacher level figures, like Congress what officials and Obama quite familiar to meet every two or three days, speak, speak in measured tones, slowly, the speech model, hear more clearly, the middle also from time to time, humor, criticism of NAS, deliberately said to be NASA, then said, "this two mechanism does not seem to be a ah", set the whole room roaring with laughter) caused by, maybe SNOWDEN is doing wrong, but the result is good, the executive branch of the government USA too bold, monitoring Americans import America (even among Americans themselves) email, phone, set up a huge database, intelligence how many people do this, how much money do not say, this is? That is counter, you use these things against the Americans do other what to do (the government can rely on these data to find USA citizens think ballast, Xue Manzi, China to combat prostitution way to combat rumors)? The Congress branch and the judicial branch would restrict administrative branch, branch of government budget, personnel requirements and obtain information, required to achieve the free speech rights of the constitution, to national debate, in order to achieve personal freedom and public security balance (balance between liberty and public safety).

American vigilance to the government authority that is not generally high!
