Hey, we're testing at the same center! I would recommend calling LSAC if you're really bothered by it. Personally, the air quality has not affected me too much. I know some test centers closer to the fire zone are closed.
@Bamboosprout The ninth circuit oral arguments can be found on their youtube or on their website at https://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/media/. The federal circuit can be found here: http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/oral-argument-recordings. I'm not familiar w…
Honestly, I find listening to appellate oral arguments really interesting and compelling (but I'm not sure I'd call it inspiring). Not sure about other federal circuits, but the ninth circuit court of appeals live streams at least some of its oral a…
