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 [...]

It’s a milestone kind of day here at Chez Ninja. This is my 100th post! Hard to believe. So, to celebrate, I’m completing a half-finished post from a long time ago while watching Get Smart with Ninja Kid and eating tons of leftover Halloween candy. Hey, don’t hate me cuz I know how to par-tay. [...]

Last week in Contracts we had a practice exam over the Statute of Frauds. Prof. K told us from the get-go that we’d probably all fail it but that he’d spend a few days the next week (this week) going over the proper way to take one of his exams. So one of the deals [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
