Classes are over for me. Soon, after two weeks of exams, we’ll have the law school Hooding, where 200 plus students will turn into lawyers. In years past, it has been pretty depressing just how few graduating students I actually knew beyond a name and a face. Teaching mostly upper-level classes does not allow for [...]

Over the weekend, I attended, for the first time, the “Barrister’s Ball,” otherwise known as the law school prom. This year, over 430 people showed up. Amazing. That’s probably the most for any law school function other than graduation. The Ball was at a nice reception hall, with an open bar and decent food. But, [...]

In years past, I think there were at least a half dozen, if not more, hard core student bloggers. Now, apparently only one: Ed. Ed, can you [...]

I got my official ballot for the 3Ls Superlatives for The Hearsay. For those who are unfamiliar with the balloting, basically the third year class votes for different joke categories, like “Biggest Gunner” and “Biggest Partier.” Well, here are some of my write in categories. If I have time, I may post a few more. [...]

I promised Ed that I would stop talking about American Idol. In fact, I really wanted to talk about law school stuff when I asked Ed to guest blog here. Idol was just a way to stir up some drama for a Friday. So, now, onto the serious stuff. Last week, one of my students [...]
