NEXT WEEK! Tocqueville on the Democratic "Heart Disease" of Individualism

Tocqueville on the Democratic “Heart Disease”
of Individualism

A lecture free and open to the public (no ticket required) by
Peter Augustine Lawler
Dana Professor of Government, Berry College

Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America explains why individualism is the primary
threat to liberty in a modern democracy. Individualism, as he describes it, is the very
opposite of personal assertiveness. It is the apathetic withdrawal into oneself, based
on the mistaken judgment that love is more trouble than it is worth. Individualism, by
isolating citizens from one another, makes them easy prey for despots. And
Tocqueville’s fear is that the democratic development might culminate in a kind of
“soft despotism” of meddlesome, schoolmarmish bureaucrats. Tocqueville also
notices, however, that Americans have some pretty singular ways of combating
individualism, including religion, strong local government, the moral doctrine of selfinterested
cooperation with others, and a kind of spirit of association. So today’s
students of Tocqueville sometimes misunderstand him by exaggerating the real threat
of soft despotism in our country.

Professor Lawler has written or edited a dozen books. His most recent include
Postmodernism Rightly Understood, Aliens in America: The Strange Truth About Our Souls,
Stuck with Virtue: The American Individual and Our Biotechnological Future, and Homeless and
at Home in America.

TIPS for the UNLV Law Fair: Max it out!

Hooray!

The 2009 UNLV Law Fair is fast approaching! On October 26 from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm, more than 60 law schools will gather in the ballroom at the Student Union to answer your questions! Does it sound intimidating? Here with some suggestions on how to prepare yourself for the festivities is Amy Urbanek, the Prelaw Advising Coordinator at the University of Utah:

It can seem overwhelming at first to see all those tables, but relax - the representatives are accustomed to talking about their schools and are anxious to speak with you, so don’t be nervous. There are no "dumb" questions, and as long as you are polite and interested you will come across just fine. You are not there to be interviewed by the schools. These law fair representatives attend many similar events so they are unlikely to remember you. On the other hand, do mind your manners. They will remember you if you are rude, and that won’t work in your favor. You do not need to dress up, but do look respectable.

Take advantage of this opportunity to explore. Don’t just visit the tables of schools you have already decided upon. Wander through the room and talk to as many schools as you can. You might find a hidden gem that you would otherwise have missed.

It is perfectly acceptable to ask what a school is looking for in an
applicant. Ask this same question of a number of different schools. You will find many areas of agreement, but you may also find some areas where schools differ a bit, and may even pick up a few good "insider tips".

If you are speaking with an alumnus or current student from a law school rather than an admissions professional, ask them to give you "the scoop" on what it is really like to attend that school. What did they like? What didn’t they like? Do they have any tips on what it takes to be successful there? While they may not be able to provide the same level of detail on the law school’s programs, faculty, etc., the more informal information they can provide can be invaluable.

As you ask questions, make sure you keep track of each school’s answers. You don’t want to get home to find you have a wealth of good information but no idea where it all came from!

Great advice, Amy! There will be a lot going on, and it may be tempting to just wander around aimlessly. It's normal to feel a bit embarrassed about asking questions, so it's helpful to know what you want to ask ahead of time.

Amy's advice implies a couple of important pieces of information about the people you'll meet at the law fair. The most important piece of information is who you'll be speaking to.

Some schools will send someone from their admissions office. These people will likely have a say in who gets accepted an who does not. You'll want to ask these folks about what their ideal candidate would be, and what characteristics they hope their incoming class (as a whole) will have. You might not want to ask the sort of factual questions that you could easily have learned from their website (i.e., Which town are you in? How many students do you have? What is your US News Ranking?). You might also want to tread with caution when asking things like "How hard are the classes?" and "Who is the easiest legal writing prof?"

Other schools will send alums to the Law Fair. These are folks who have made it through the school's program and have emerged at the end of the tunnel with a J.D. in hand. These folks will not be sitting in on the admissions decisions, and they generally won't be law professors from that school, so the questions you'll ask them will be different. They might be able to give you a sense of what the admissions folks are looking for in their "ideal candidate," but they'll also be able to give you a sense of what it's actually like to be a student there. If you ask the admissions representatives about their "favorite thing about Law School X," they're likely to say something broad (and generally unhelpful, no offense), like "we place great emphasis on student diversity and we offer a quality educational setting..." Er..ok. We'd sort of figured that out ahead of time. If you ask the alums, though, they might say "I loved Professor Smith's tort class, but you'll never make it through if you don't ____," or "The library can be loud sometimes, but there's this great little spot on the third floor where the librarians hang out..."

Amy also points out that your conduct is important. You might like to think that nobody would remember you, but don't be so sure. You really don't want to be that guy. You know, the guy who says things like, "Why would anyone want to go to law school in East Lansing, Michigan? I mean, I think that my scores are probably way too high for your school, anyway." You don't want to be the guy who knocks over the admissions official's table and then laughs as she struggles to right the ship. While your good behavior might not go down in history, your bad behavior is likely to come back and bite you. You might also consider that the dress code in Vegas is a little more, er...well, permissive than elsewhere in the country. You don't need to come in a business suit, but it might help to have your midriff covered. I can't imagine that I actually have to say all of this, though, as I expect that you already knew it.

LSAT Takers: READ THIS NOW!

Dear UNLV Prelaw's brave September 2009 LSAT takers,

It's time! The LSAT is *gulp* tomorrow! Hopefully, you feel ready. Probably, you don't. That's normal. At this point, there are only a few more things you can do to help make the process as comfortable as possible.

1. Stop fretting. Rent a DVD or something. Wind down at a reasonable hour tonight. If you need to work a logic game or two, fine. But don't go overboard. It won't help. You need to get a good night's sleep, so you'll want to take your mind off of the test for a while. If you usually exercise, you should exercise in moderation. If you're not sure whether or not you're allergic to shellfish, tonight is not the night to eat at Red Lobster for the first time. You get the picture, right?

2. Don't get wasted tonight. Keep good sleep hygiene tonight. Read a novel if you can't get to sleep. Don't knock yourself out with a six-pack or a handful of Tylenol PMs. You'll feel like crap in the morning.

3. Be sure that you know where you're going. Most UNLV Prelaw readers will be taking their tests on campus. Know where you need to be, what time you need to be there (no later than 8:30 a.m.!), and where you're going to park. If you show up late, you will NOT be allowed to take the test.

4. Make sure you have what you need. Items you MUST have include:

• Your admission ticket. Print it out TONIGHT. If you have already printed it out, log on to your LSAC account anyway, just to be sure. Sometimes the proctors need to change the location at the last minute, and you want to be in the know.
• Identification. Any old identification will simply not do. The LSAC requires "current valid (not expired) government-issued ID bearing your signature." The photo must be recent and recognizable. Really, you need your drivers license or your passport. The first and last name on the identification MUST MATCH the last name on your admission ticket. They will be sticklers about this!
• Pencils. Again, any old pencils will not do. You need No. 2 pencils. No mechanical pencils are allowed. Why? Beats me. Because they said so, I guess. They will not provide pencils for you. They will not even provide sharpeners for you.

5. Assemble the other things that you're allowed to bring. It's not much. You can put your things in a clear plastic ziplock bag, maximum size one gallon. If it's not on this list, DON'T bring it. Seriously.

• Your ID and LSAT Admission Ticket stub
• Your wallet
• Keys
• Analog (NOT digital) watch
• Medical or hygiene products
• #2 or HB pencils (not mechanical)
• Highlighter
• Erasers
• Pencil sharpener (not electric, I'm guessing)
• Tissues (not to say that the test will cause you to burst into tears or anything...)
• A beverage in a plastic container or juice box (max. 20 oz.)
• A snack for the break

6. In the morning, don't do anything crazy. Don't try to run 5 miles at 5:30 a.m. if you don't usually run 5 miles at 5:30 a.m. If you're a regular coffee drinker, have your normal amount of coffee. If you're not a coffee drinker, for goodness' sake don't start now. Don't gobble down a handful of caffeine pills. If you're not used to having a huge pancake breakfast, now is not the time to start. Be sure to eat at least SOMETHING (or you'll be really, really hungry during the test), but don't put yourself into a food coma. Moderation, folks. Moderation.

7. In the morning, make sure you do NOT have contraband on or around your person when you reach the testing center. It's a good idea to have your mom or roommate pat you down to double check. The following items are strictly prohibited:

• Electronic timers, beeping watches, alarm watches, calculator watches, or any watch with any features other than a dial and three hands;
• Cell phones, beepers (really? beepers? What is this, 1980?) pagers, PDAs, computers, etc.;
• Hats or hoods that are not pieces of religious apparel (sorry, skateboarding is not yet a recognized religion);
• Books, dictionaries, papers of any kind, calculators, rulers, slide rules, compasses, protractors, abacuses, etc.;
• Mechanical pencils, ballpoint pens, fountain pens, a tablet and chisel, etc.;
• Briefcases, handbags, backpacks, duffel bags, etc. The only bags you can bring are the clear plastic bag and the bags under your eyes;
• Earplugs, headsets, those annoying little Bluetooth headsets that make people think you're talking to them, listening devices, TV Ears, etc.;
• Recording devices, cameras, mimeographs, etc.
• Guns, knives, machetes, slingshots, blow darts, brass knuckles, etc.;
• ANYTHING electronic. If it has a battery, an AC or DC adaptor, a generator, a solar panel, a nuclear reactor or gunpowder, and it is not an analog watch, you cannot bring it to the test center. Break these rules and they will throw you out. Seriously.

8. What to expect when you get there. The proctors have very strict instructions, and they will enforce them. This is one situation where you do NOT want to stand out from the crowd.

• Listen to the proctors. They are the boss of you. They may pace around the room.
• Be prepared to show your ID at any time, and repeatedly.
• You will be thumbprinted, and you'll be asked to sign a statement on your test sheet. If you don't, this could delay or invalidate your score.
• If you are late, you will not take the test.
• You'll get an assigned seat.
• The time limits are strictly enforced. Don't think that you'll be able to sneak a few bubbles in after the official time has expired.
• You won't have any scratch paper, except for the writing sample. That will be provided by the proctor if you need it.
• You will only get access to your snack and your juicebox during the break. While you are taking the test, do NOT attempt to take anything out of your plastic bag.
• If you need an emergency potty break, you'll need permission, and you'll have to turn in your materials and collect them once you're done. Remember, you will NOT get to make that time up. If you can, hold it.
• If you're left-handed (as most exceptionally bright and talented folks are), they might have a special desk for you, but they might not. You'll probably have to suffer life as a lefty in a righty's world, just like you always do.
• If something very unusual happens (e.g., the fire sprinklers go off in the test room in the middle of the test or the power goes out), you might have to take next regularly scheduled test. You won't have to pay for it, but it will be a total pain in the rear. You'll get a notice from the proctor.
• If you create a disturbance (DON'T), or you cheat, or you try to cheat (DON'T and DON'T), or try to take test materials from the test center (DON'T), you'll get in trouble. Just don't do it. Again, this is NOT the time to stand out from the crowd.

Okay. Now you're ready, right? Right! Good luck!
