Spring Enrollments for Blueprint’s Live LSAT Course Now Open
Merry Spring-Enrollments-Are-Now-Open Day!
Although this time of year is always special, it’s an extra meaningful occasion this time around because starting in 2012, Blueprint LSAT Preparation is opening the doors to its live course in six new cities. As previously reported, we’re expanding to Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami and Seattle. Look at us go.
For several weeks, we’ve been hearing from students in those cities and elsewhere who have been itching to sign up. Starting today, you can scratch that itch. If you decide to sign up for a spring class today, though, be sure and do so by calling us before 6:30 p.m. PST. That’s when the new price for our course ($1,299) kicks in. The number is 888-4-BP-PREP if you have a phone in your hand right now (you know you do).

Blueprint Adds Six New Cities for LSAT Prep
Here we go again.
As you might recall, Blueprint LSAT Preparation recently spread its LSAT love by opening classes in Austin, Boston, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Washington DC. It was a big step forward in bringing LSAT enlightenment to the writhing mass of pre-law humanity, and it went so well we decided to do it again.
Starting this spring, just in time for the June 2012 LSAT, Blueprint will open the doors to live courses in (drumroll, please) Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami and Seattle. Sorry, Antarctica. We’ll get you next time.
That brings our live course tally to 24 locations — 24 of the coolest and LSAT-iest cities in the United States.

Law Schools in the News: Cooley Losing Its Cool
Here’s a fun tidbit to start your week off with.
Have you heard of The Thomas M. Cooley Law School? You should have, as they’re the second best law school in the country, according to The Thomas M. Cooley Law School. They do their own rankings, putting themselves above schools such as Stanford and Yale. This is quite different from where US News and World Report ranks them, which is right in the fourth (or “worst”) tier. To be fair, Cooley’s rankings count the important things that USNWR tends to ignore, such as number of chairs in the library and total square-footage. What good is a law school like Yale if there’s nowhere to sit?
What’s the point of all this?

Carmegeddon: What to do? Study.
All of you are undoubtedly aware of this Carmageddon thing. In LA, there’s always traffic. But this weekend, we have decided to really screw ourselves. The 405 (better known as “concrete hell” to all those who frequent it) will be shut down this weekend.
If you don’t live in Los Angeles, it might be hard to comprehend exactly how dependent people are on their automobiles. This will have far-reaching implications. What are all the douchebags to do if they can’t drive their Porsche around trying to pick up chicks? How in the world will people get to the Whole Foods that is ½ mile away from home? And what’s a weekend if you can’t valet at least 14 times?

What our Founding Fathers would Score on the LSAT
Just like new college students, the Founding Fathers rebelled against the repressive regimes under which they grew up. They lifted arms, you lifted beers. And when it was all said and done (and the Founding Fathers finished celebrating, which probably put you to shame), with what were they left? A hangover, a few papers to write (you, a PoliSci final, them, the Articles of Confederation), and a few people they had to avoid (though ducking Sarah in Psych 101 was probably less awkward than when Franklin had to duck David Hartley in Paris).
But founding a new nation wasn’t enough, and they all decided to go to law school why not? Let’s take a look at their LSAT scores: Read Entire Article…

Introducing Blueprint’s New LSAT Website
Hello everyone out there in LSAT land.

Third, there’s a fair amount of lime-colored accenting going on that should be explored.
So head on over and check it out!
New Study Shows College Students Academically Adrift
As bright-eyed eighteen year-olds, we pack up boxes of our clothes and other possessions, load it into our wood paneled hatchback station wagons, wave goodbye to ma’ and pa’, and head off to college. Once we get there, we expand our minds and learn to think critically, while we kick the hacky sack around and discuss Immanuel Kant. Right? Apparently, college students as a whole essentially learn how to cook Ramen Noodles (delicious) and learn how to make $400 last for an entire month (not a bad skill).
This is according to a widespread and thorough study that showed forty-five percent of students “demonstrated no significant gains in critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and written communications during the first two years of college.”
Breaking News: The iPhone Gets you Laid!
Just when you wondered why in the world someone would pay $400 for a pretty phone that breaks easily and gets terrible reception… The dating website OkCupid recently released the results of a shocking new study. It turns out that … Read Entire Article…
A Message to Future Judges: Don’t Play Video Games with Felons
The last video game I played with any kind of verve, regularity, or excellence was Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo when I was ten (and at that, I was a golden god), so I might not be the best guy to opine on this subject, but here goes.
Recently, in West Virginia, a judge by the name of Joseph R. Carico was discovered to be in an illicit video-gaming relationship with a West Virginian felon named Jeremy Hubbard, who had appeared in his court.
