Can someone share what a timetable could look like in 1L?

The welcome package indicates that 1L courses are selected by the admin so we don't necessarily get a say in which class/section we enrol in. Wondering what does the schedule usually end up looking like? 

Looking for specifics on: days we have classes, class times, number of lectures per week, etc. 

Also, is there any way to get a say on which class we could enrol in (e.g., can I request to be enrolled in a 10AM section as opposed to 8AM?)

This is what they shared in the welcome week slides!

I know that we won't have classes on Fridays, and it seems like they just enroll you - no requests.

You don't have a say in when your classes are, at least based on preferences that fall short of actual accommodations. You are assigned to a "small group" seminar-style class with about 12-18 other students, and you have the same schedule as that group. In the sample schedule @JungleMean posted, that would be Tort Law A with Moreau. Small group classes meet twice a week, are full-year, and are evaluated based on papers and class contributions instead of an exam. Usually all of your classes will start at 9:30 earliest.

You have absolutely zero say in when your class times are/what classes you take. Most 1Ls this year had classes starting as early as 9AM and as late as 4PM (and beyond in some cases). This semester, many of us had days that would start at 9 and end at 530. Every 1L has 15 hours of class per week, but the times these classes are at and the semesters these classes are slotted in varies based on what your small group is. All small groups take all classes together except Legal Research and Writing.
