To the person that found our site by Googling "I enjoy smoking spanked" just what the hell were you looking for?
The most interesting site clicked over from this past week was this.
The most read post of the past two weeks has been about Westlaw. To the person from Thompson West who read it, I hope you enjoyed it. I wonder if West has a job that requires a person to spend all day Googling "Westlaw"?
The Aftermath
I had a party last night.
Empty bottles of wine: 10
Beers drank: 92
Time last person passed out: 5 am
Obscene messages written on my fridge: 3
Red wine stains on my white carpet: 1
Minutes of video footage of Lance Ito, John Roberts, Sandra Gay and Scalito singing karaoke and busting a few druken moves (which I feel compelled to disclose to the state board of law examiners prior to allowing them to sit for the bar): countless.

This is why I could never be a teacher.......
Okay, so Sandra Gay and I are team teachers in a program where we go to a local high school and teach students about how the law affects their lives. (Like they care) We have seriously avoided it for the last 3 weeks, but must go back today. Both of us woke up this morning fairly happy thinking, “hey, our brief is done, today we can go to class and then come home and sleep.” And about halfway through each of our mornings, a light finally came on and we both exclaimed: “F---! We have to teach!”
I have to note for all of you, that we are teaching at an alternative, alternative high school. (Meaning our students got kicked out of alternative schools – yeah.) Which means all they really care about is Criminal Law. And we can’t teach that til the end cause it’s all we got to hold on to their attention. Which also means everything else bores them (and us).
Employment Law: “I don’t need to work, I’ll just get on welfare.” Brilliant plan. Housing Law: “It’s not as hard as you guys say to get out on your own. My homies will help me.” Good luck with that kid. Family law: “She can’t make me pay child support, I just won’t get a job!” Population control is a great idea. And finally Constitutional Law: “We like the right to bear arms right thing!” Of course you do.
So today we are going back, and you can imagine how excited we are about it. I’m sure it’ll be a great class on Immigration law – I can see it now “Why the f do we need to let more people here?!” The only thing that could make this impending headache better is if our adviser came: she of the emails “Let me know if you guys need more help okay???? Good job with classes!!!!! Thanks!!!!!” (And yes, the punctuation is accurate, and she is a future lawyer) Pray for us. We're going to need it.
Time Management, anyone?
My Rant for the Day...
Today, noon: Summary judgment brief due.
Today, 10:30 am: Class. Only 30 out of 75 people are there.
Can't anyone manage their time? Come on people, if you really need that last hour and half to finish your brief, you're screwed. We've had the assignment for 30 days. I'm not saying that you need to be done with it days ago or anything, but realistically if you are still working on it an hour before it is due you are a) extremely neurotic or b) you just don't have any idea how to manage your time.
I could understand the argument that you didn't have time to prepare for class today, but the prof told us yesterday that she would not be employing the Socratic method. It was a freebie...
Oh, by the way, for those of you who skipped today, she gave us some answers to the final. No, you cannot have my notes. Yes, I'm being a bitch.

Here is the link for all of you who are just dying to hear what Calculating Bitch posted. Note, this is only funny to law students.
Maybe I Can Do This...
So our summary judgment motions are due Wednesday (thank god thats almost over) and now we are starting to prepare for our oral argument presentations next week.
Problems with this: 1) we're really sick of dealing with this topic, 2) public speaking is nerve racking and 3) we're only 1Ls -- how much do we really know?
But after hearing this, maybe there is hope for us!
I mean, we can be lawyers, right? We're already more competent then that guy.

And you thought being a loser in law school would make it hard to get dates
No reason for anyone in law school to not get a date.
Even these people are getting dates. - Not safe if in class or quiet area in library. (not that they shouldn't, but I'm just sayin')
So for all those who (especially in my class) complain that it's hard to find someone in law school. Just think, at least you don't have to do this.
