If you had fun with the Africa quiz, go see how many of the 192 UN Member States you can get in 10 minutes. This weekend was fun. When I wasn’t getting stuff done, I was out serving as 2L social liaison to the 1L class. They know how to have a good time. See [...]
I really, at some point, hope that I gain the self-restraint not to visit Dizzy’s blog every time Doug links to it. Unfortunately for me (probably fortunately for certain others), I don’t yet have that restraint. So here are some quick thoughts on some posts. In her cutting the crap post, Dizzy spends a post insinuating [...]
A few weeks ago, I talked about why anonymous blogging just doesn’t work. A commenter said “If a person cares anything about their future in the legal profession, maybe anonymous blogging is the way to go.” Now, there are a whole host of underlying assumptions to that statement. One, of course, is the assumption that [...]
Kim likes to sketch when she should be paying attention in class. Specifically, when presented with a ‘lemma’ (a proven statement that’s used to prove a bigger statement), she envisions this skittish little llama looking creature. This week in Crim. Pro. we started talking about probable cause, fifth amendment, etc… and we read the phrase “Cruel [...]
A few months ago I posted a call for articles for a new “law” journal (”law journal”?, law “journal”?). Well, we finally got our act together and finished up the first issue. For the most part, when I wasn’t at trial team practice, I was working on Consortium… and now that’s done. You can see the [...]
I don’t read Dizzy’s Blog, except in those instances when it’s linked by someone like Doug, which it has been a few times in the last week or so… and it looks like it’s SSDD over there. Generally, it’s hundreds upon hundreds of words about such riveting things as: why all guys at law school are [...]
So, after more than a month off, I actually had to go back to class today. This was a shock to my system because I think I almost forgot what it was like. It wasn’t as bad as I remembered it, though I really do abhor being forced to get up any time before noon. A [...]
The trial team has been selected, and I made it, which I’m happy about. I’m an alternate, which is obviously not as good as being first-string, but what can you do? There were a lot of extremely talented people at the mock trial competition who did very well, and I didn’t do as much prep [...]
The law school started back today, but I slept in. Don’t worry, mom, I didn’t skip class. You see, I have the world’s best schedule. I only have class three days a week. No Thursday or Friday classes. We also get monday off, so my break was over a month long. That’s pretty awesome, really. I’ve [...]
How does a person whose only real legal skill is oral argumentation submit one of the top 16 briefs on his issue in a moot court competition and not advance to the octofinals? Who knows, but that’s exactly what I did. It would make sense to me if I had gotten oral honors and not advanced, [...]
