So I haven’t posted in like two weeks. Terribly sorry. I really haven’t even been all that busy, although I’m supposed to have been busy this whole time. My motivation has flown out the window and I’ve been waiting for it to come back. Okay, okay, I cannot tell a lie. The truth is, I [...]

Faster than you can say “hideous monstrous rabbit squishing a young girl,” we’re halfway through our fall 1L semester. Can you believe it? No, that’s not Ninja Kid. I have no idea who this poor little girl is BUT GOOD GOD LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT RABBIT! Anyway. I forgot previously to write about [...]

Well, week 7 is in the books. We’re nearing the halfway point of 1L fall semester. I know a lot more than I did seven weeks ago, that’s fo sho. But the thought of exams coming up in less than two months now… [please hold for major panic attack] Seems like the only class with [...]

So apparently the blog has been down for a little while. I’m not sure exactly how long, but I know it was longer than 24 hours. Apologies if you were trying to access the site and you got an error message. Hopefully the problem has been fixed and we’re good to go. In case you [...]

Week 5? You mean more like week 5… hundred? Seems like I’ve been a law student for FO-EVAH already. Let me ‘splain it to ya. On the one hand, I am certainly still more confused than not regarding the big picture. I think this is why some people suggest waiting to start outlining until later [...]

Four solid weeks of law school and I’m still standing. Must give credit where credit’s due. BREAKING: we’re all gonna die!! Ninja School of Law has announced a special swine flu policy for this semester. Basically, they’ve realized that the current policy of allowing five absences before your grade gets docked will result in people [...]

Apologies in advance to both of my loyal readers. This week’s edition of Law School Lessons will be brief for two reasons: (1) I spent the better part of my weekend working on a draft closed memo, (2) the season finale of True Blood is on HBO in an hour and nothing — NOTHING — [...]

Thank heavens for three-day weekends! By the end of last week, I was completely out of motivation to do any reading. So, I just didn’t. And now I’m a tad behind. This is why Barack Obama invented Labor Day, right? I hope he invents another Monday holiday in October because I’m pretty sure I’m gonna [...]

JUSTICE = PROCESS PROCESS = JUSTICE I realized yesterday that after five days of Civil Procedure, the above four words plus the two symbols represented the sum total of notes I’ve taken during class. In case you’re curious, that’s 28 letters, or 30 characters total if you count the equal signs. That’s all. *sigh* Apparently [...]

Well. The first week of law school is over. Do I love it? Absolutely. Is it going to be a huge challenge? OMG. Yes. So rather than bore you with a lengthy account of my first week, which was probably very similar to your first week as a 1L, I thought I’d just do a [...]
