Are you a licensed attorney in the State of New Jersey?
If so, have you had the fun of attending the infamous, and required, Skills & Methods course (a.k.a, "ICLE")?
If not (and if you are planning on attending a taped session at Seton Hall Law School), let me provide a few tips:
1. Do the homework ahead of time and bring it with you. This is for two reasons: 1. most of the people will be sitting in the auditorium actually doing the exercises while the tape is playing, and if you have any questions, you can either ask them, or; 2. get the answers to any of your questions from the tapes. You *could* bring the materials and do the homework while the tape is playing, but I don't think that the seats are space-condusive for doing so and the lighting stinks. If you do opt for the latter, try to snag a seat under a light in the very back row.
2. If you do hang out in the back, be considerate of your neighbors. First, even though it's not a work week, please remember to shower. Also, that BarBri rule about stinky food should be reinstated by the NJICLE. Lastly, if you do engage in a full-out sleep, do not, gentlemen: 1. sleep on one's back and; 2. develop a clearly obvious protuberance. [Dude, some guy actually creeped up on you and took a cell-phone picture... eew!]
3. Bring a variety of reading materials.
4. Arrange to have friends call you with "urgent" news.
5. Bring caffeine. While the folks at Seton Hall couldn't be nicer, it's dead there and you'll have to trek over to some sketchy, Newark-hole-in-the-wall to get coffee.
That is all.
