Got the appellate brief finished last night, it’s beautiful. At first I thought that Erica (my partner) and I might have problems because neither of us are exactly “get it done early” sort of people, but we worked together really well and after seeing how many problems other teams had when “get it done early” [...]

No joke, this is hilarious — the sad thing is that there are classes (property, for example) in which I am the special ed kid. My elementery school had a good special education program. As a part of this program, the special ed kids went to regular classes for a few hours a day. However, while [...]

With the new South Dakota bill that was signed into law which makes virtually all abortions criminal, it looks like we’re headed for a new round of heated abortion debates. A number of years ago I had my horizons broadened a bit by a chapter in Carl Sagan’s Billions and Billions titled “Is it possible to [...]

Woman flips out after notes on her pharmacy receipt label her as ‘crazy’ — She’s not doing much to disprove them.

A brutal rape/murder in the Pacific Northwest has brought the issue of rape and “blaming the victim” back into the spotlight. Jay Tea at Wizbang has a fantastic post saying exactly what I said when all the blog drama went down a few months ago. His basic thesis is summed up in this sentence: “But the tragic [...]

One of my law school classmates sent me a link to a Google Video showing a group of people who more or less shut down the perimeter in Atlanta by driving the speed limit. Today before CivPro KTown and I watched it. It was hilarious. If the video doesn’t play, click here.

I used to really, really enjoy reading The Attractive Nuisance then, at some point, she mysteriously became unfunny. Now it’s a train-wreck, which is sad. I’m not one to judge, of course, because it’s a personal blog and she writes about personal things and that’s totally allowed, so I’ve resisted the urge to comment here [...]

Welcome, IU 1Ls, to brief week. It will be fun and exciting and by Thursday you’ll hope that your LRW professor found his or her way under a swiftly moving bus. But, let’s face it, this is what we’re all here for: stress, late nights, and making 100% sure that whiny bitches don’t get to [...]
