Believe it or not, I am good for more than just being a smartass. I actually did well my first year of law school, so I thought I’d pass on some bits of wisdom garnered from my and others’ 1L experiences. Ignore them at your own peril.
Don’t ever brief a case. Yes, [...]

Alright, y’all. This is my final installment of outlines for your slacker asses.
None of these classes are on the bar exam. But, they might come in handy if you need an outline for that schedule-filler class you signed up for, but don’t want to attend. Yes, I’m talking to you, 3L’s.

As promised, here are some more outlines for all you 2L’s and 3L’s out there.
These are from those not-required-yet-highly-recommended classes (read: Bar exam subjects). As you can see, I was a much less prolific outliner after first year, as I took far more classes than I actually have outlines for.

It’s a good day when I go [...]

Today marks the official first day of my last spring break ever. That is, unless I decide to go to graduate school at some point.
And that means a whole week of not reading, not going to class, and sitting out in the sun with the Terrorists. In other words, no different than most [...]

True to the predictions of our groundhogs, it looks like we’re getting an early spring, as evidenced by today’s sunny, warm weather.
Before my very pregnant Entertainment Law professor arrived in class, I gave serious thought to ditching and enjoying the weather for a couple of hours. Not like I had anything specific in [...]

Law school, being like high school, has its own unique set of social norms. Many are axiomatic: Don’t sleep with your classmates. Or with your professors, for that matter. Don’t say things that you don’t want everyone else to know (because they will find out). Just generally, don’t act like [...]
