Here’s a little experiment that’s really more of a copout because I just want to get something posted quickly this morning. But still, this might be fun. For me. And that’s what it’s all about, really. 0: Number of nights I went to bed before midnight. 1: Number of job interviews I had. Incidentally, this [...]

sunday snippets 08.22.10
Law school starts back tomorrow. Meh. Having an 8:00 class on Mondays and Wednesdays (Criminal Practice Skills FTW) means that I have to set my alarm for 6:30 on those days. I haven’t woken up at 6:30 on a regular basis since, well, since spring semester, when I had to do it FOUR times a [...]
a public apology
Dear Summer, I owe you a huge apology, and I’m so ashamed of my behavior that I’m groveling publicly. That’s just how serious I am. Remember that one time I said I hated you? Your lack of structure and deadlines, the horribly blank canvas of my Google calendar? I don’t know what I was thinking. [...]
2L scheduling: a cautionary tale
So, 1L. That happened. At most law schools, you don’t get to choose any of your classes as a 1L. You get put into a section (Section 2 RAWKS!) and your section (mine was about 50ish people) takes all the same classes together for a whole year. I do think at some schools you may [...]
write on, write off
Journal selections were announced earlier this week, and I didn’t get invited to be on any of them. Which is probably because I didn’t submit a write-on packet. I had you going for a second, didn’t I? DIDN’T I??? C’mon, admit it. I fully intended to participate, I really did. I went to the first [...]
free advice for future 1Ls, part 4
(if you’re new to the series, see part 1, part 2, and part 3) Before I started law school, I got a lot of advice. I’m sure you have, too, by this stage, if you’re starting law school in the fall. Of all the advice I received, two things still stick out in my mind [...]
ahem. FREE advice for future 1Ls, part 3 (now with a complimentary rant!)
(part 1 located here and part 2 located here, both also FREE) So the other day I started writing this post, the third in my series, and then this thing happened, and then I had to rename part 3 into part 4 because now part 3 has to be about this thing that happened. Here’s [...]
what to expect when you’re expecting (a brief)
Maybe you planned carefully for it. Maybe you got caught completely off guard by it. Maybe you were secretly wishing for it but you didn’t dare tell anyone. Regardless, it’s happened. You’re going to have a baby write an appellate brief. A brief! A real, live brief that eats, poops, cries, and sleeps. Congratulations!! Now [...]
exciting news! now with gruel!
Oh, you guys. YOU GUYS. So toward the end of last semester we had this meeting and this professor talked to us about tryouts for the national competition teams. My school sends teams to competitions all over the country in mock trial, moot court, client counseling, and negotiations. Earlier in the year I was talking [...]
be my friend! right now!
