    Offical Barbour Thread

    Hoping to get opinions on the fit of this Ashby - particularly the sleeve length. The sleeves are obviously a little short, but I’m wondering how folks feel about a little dress sleeve cuff popping out of the Barbour sleeves. The dress shirt is definitely the longest sleeved shirt I ever wear.

    Lateral associate & bar exam

    I have a question for the fellow lawyers here. I'm a young associate in biglaw and am considering a move to another state and a smaller firm. Does anyone have a sense for the typical practice regarding bar passage for lateral hires? Do large regional firms (that I assume hire from biglaw fairly...

    FS: Filson #257 Briefcase Computer Bag - Tan

    For sale, I have a used Filson 257 in Tan. The bag is just starting to break in, but you'll notice a bit of blue denim staining in the photos. I've owned this for a couple of years and used it infrequently. No rips, tears, etc. Looking for $150 shipped conus.

    Black Brogued Shoes for Court?

    Awesome; thanks for the replies. A related question: I'm starting at a NYC firm later this year, and they wear suits daily. What percentage of the lawyers, do you guess, will wear black shoes on a daily basis? edit: Let me also say that I know the shoe/attire-for-biglaw-firm question gets...

    Black Brogued Shoes for Court?

    I work in as conservative a place as likely possible (federal court). I have a pair of black PAs and some walnut Strands, the latter I wear when not actually in court. I wear my PAs often enough that I could use another pair of black shoes but don't really want another pair of PAs. I'm mostly...

    Is it worth transferring schools?

    Unless you think you're very competitive, I wouldn't transfer if you want to go to law school. As other posters have said, it's 95% GPA/LSATs and getting a higher GPA at a better school is a lot harder (cept Harvard). Given that you don't think you can get into Columbia, I would probably stay at...

    Contract Law Question

    People go to court and lose, because they don't know how to defend themselves. Even if I had been sued, my brother would have destroyed them. Gym memberships are so weak in legal terms that they can barely be enforced. But they assume people don't know any better, they get scared about damage to...

    Philosophy Readings

    Some good recommendations in here already. But I have a BA in philosophy and still haven't deciphered a number of the tomes previously mentioned. I'd recommend Richard Rorty's "Philosophy and Social Hope." It will give you a good introduction to American Pragmatism (Rorty's brand...

    Lets talk about COFFEE

    Another Gimme! Fan. This week is Ethiopia Amara Gayo through my Aeropress. But Gimme! just had their Las Mingas release party, so I'm looking to work my way through those selections, either by the cup at the shop or by the pound at home. In NYC, I also like 9th Street and Cafe Grumpy.

    "Begs the question"

    Usage matters. My intuition was that the nontraditional use of "begs the question" has come to be so predominant that it has legitimized it. I guess that most people understand the phrase in its nontraditional (and notably, a less idiomatic) sense. As such, I would argue that it's...

    Starbucks..instant coffee

    On the whole, I think Starbucks has improved quite a bit recently. Their espresso is still pretty bad, but the drip is good. I think they've dialed back the roasting a bit. I'm happy to hear that Via is largely well-received. I've not tried it yet, but I'm leaving on vacation next week will...
