Seriously, OP! You have a sympathetic case - and with his track record, maybe he won't even show up to the courthouse!
I would ask for the $200, another $250 to cover the "services" of your wedding guest, add on an estimate of the number of hours you spent trying to communicate with him x $50, and then add another $500 for a nice spa day for you and your hubby to handle the emotional damage!
Pick up this book at your local library to help you with all the details. It's really not too complicated.
For the interested:
Generally, a golfer has no liability for unintentional shots, provided you adequately warn parties in the path of potential injury (another good reason to liberally use "FORE!" even if you know they probably can't hear you; in the law's view, it's providing the warning that is important, not necessarily reception).
It does not matter what the course says, what signs are around, or who/what you hit. The course is sometimes liable depending on the circumstances, but they have no motivation to admit that.
That said, the law does not always follow what people think is "the right thing to do" and not every state has settled law regarding these types of injuries/damages. To you, it might be worth it to pay a couple hundred just to get a broken window guy off your back or because you like the karma or feel bad for the person.
Now, if your traditional slice hits a 4 year old in a swimming pool adjacent to #12, offering a couple hundred might just make mom/dad more pissed off, so that situation probably needs to be handled differently.

Sure! I think I would like to practice in the Boston area, but I'm not positive. I don't really have any desire to go elsewhere right now, but I'm sure that may change. My understanding is that it's relatively easy to get into NY, as there are more firms there, and therefore more openings available. I know that DC is an extremely competitive market, even for students at GULC and GW, so I'm sure it is pretty difficult to break in there.

Everyone says to relax before 1L and try not to prepare, and they're right.Though, I read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Students-Guide-Law-School-Academic/dp/022606705X

I thought it was pretty helpful, as it told me what to expect on law school exams, which nobody in school has explicitly explained so far. So I'm kind of tailoring my learning to keeping the endgame in sight. Other than that, maybe familiarize yourself with the structure of the court systems, but you can do that in 10 minutes.
A quality pen, but not so nice they won't want to use it.
Additionally, this book is great.

We used Beazley in my LRW II class. I thought it was very straightforward and helpful.

I loved it, but wow, was it a tough read.
You might want to consider reading Levine's The Law School Admission Game: Play Like an Expert and The Law School Decision Game: A Playbook for Prospective Lawyers first. I found them very helpful, and then I just reached out to friends who were lawyers and/or detail oriented/strong writers and had them proof things for me.
First? Holy shit, you are just an amazing human being.
Well, here's my genius plan.
I bought my books already and planned on panicking and hurting for money until I could refill my coffers by some source of miracles. I overheard someone in class talking about Reddit, and then decided to search Reddit for said miracles.
The books I needed are here:
I have one more class that still doesn't even have an instructor listed. It starts on Tuesday, and will also require 2-3 textbooks depending on which professor takes it over.
I did some quick math and have spent $202 in books and supplies like paper so far.
So all of those have been purchased, and I am now sitting in the wake of an empty bank account and a growing credit card charge. It's okay though..money is fluid and something can always work out if you allow it to.

This is not always true. It depends on the fact pattern. Try this book.
Did you read this book? It's great!

The best explaination I've read of how the Constitution is interpreted to (when it comes to religion) is in this book: Law 101.
