Not a valid form of birth control

Every time my corporations professor mentions partners prematurely withdrawing I can't help but snicker.

Law school wouldn't be nearly as much fun if I weren't twelve.

I'm Not Saying...

But I am wondering...does this indicate something about the practice of law in Montana?

The Greatest Client ever!!!11!!!!!11

I think he may have filed most of his cases pro se, but still... May I present to you:

Jonathan Lee Riches. Enjoy.

PS- please don't ever represent somebody like this, I will hate you with the fire of a thousand suns.

Ironic...in an Alanis Morissette kind of way...

We're the #4 Google hit for "law school isn't for you."

Headline News #2

In the school's daily announcements this morning, this headline caught my eye:

"Public Safety offers 50 percent off unpaid parking citations this week only"

"Sweet!" I thought, "A sale." Being a law student on a budget and a cheapass all around I'm always looking for deals, so I actually took the time to read the full news clip:

"To say "thank you for a great semester" and to provide students and employees with an opportunity to clear their records before the end of year, Public Safety offers 50 percent off the price of any unpaid parking citation(s), with no late fee charges and no questions asked, from today, Wednesday, May 9, through Friday, May 11, at the Public Safety office. Remember that outstanding parking fines can be billed to student accounts at any time, and vehicles with three or more outstanding citations may be immobilized at any time with full citation fines, late fees and administration fees assessed at the driver's expense, so take advantage of this great opportunity now, as this discount has never been offered before and may never be offered again!"

So, I'm guessing that there are still a lot of unpaid parking tickets out there and this is their hope that students will actually pay them. Its a shame that the last time I had an unpaid parking ticket was in undergrad six years ago and then the going rate was $35. I wonder what they go for now?

I'd Like to Buy a Vowel

Homeless people waiting at stoplights with signs are pretty common where we go to school. Today I saw a woman holding this sign:

F U CAN PLEASE HELP

Of all the letters to drop, "i" probably wasn't the best one.

Fly our friendly skies.....

So, somehow I came across this newspaper article, it's been all over the press:

Dead body in First Class Cabin

So if you read the comments from people about the article, you'll see that many people think that Mr.Trinder was being a pompous ass and just didn't want to be around poor people. I say, give Mr. Trinder a break, he was actually pretty sane throughout the whole ordeal, you just be happy that you weren't dealing with me, because I wouldn't have had such a humorous attitude about it "sack of potatoes," hah. Because dead bodies are gross. Like, really freaking gross. If I had paid a shit ton of money for a first class ticket, and they started dragging a dead body in there, I would have thrown a tantrum, I kid you not. I mean, all is well and fine when it's an embalmed body in a casket that you don't have to go near (and I never do mind you, because again, dead bodies are gross) but when it's being propped up next to you for 5 hours, that's nasty. It may be that I'm overly sensitive, and that it's all my fault for reading one too many Catherine Coulter novels that describe what happens when a body dies. Also, at work once I was researching something TOTALLY DIFFERENT (I swear) and this case came up in my search:

Clark v. Smith, 494 S.W.2d 192

Take a look at it in Westlaw, but not while you're eating and you'll see what I mean. So yeah, I would have freaked the fuck out. I'm pretty sure when you buy a first class ticket, you don't intend to sit next to a dead body. And I also read that some American airlines have what is called a "body compartment" - you know like when you put your bags above your seat? Same thing, only it's larger and near the back, for a dead body. I now think being a stewardess is not such a great career move. Also, imagine being the family, sitting around your loved one's body for hours? Let's just hope this doesn't happen to me anytime soon, or I can bet you all that I will be on the news for requiring a plane to land because I wouldn't calm down.

Scooter Libby: Someone's bitch

Okay, so unless you were buried in a cave somewhere with Osama bin Laden, and I'm pretty sure he even knows about it, Scooter Libby was found guilty. This man:

Two things: First, his name is freakin' Scooter. Second, look at that face. This man is so going to be someone's bitch in prison. Just the name alone calls for repeated beatings, but that face? Well, he's just screwed. Ahem.

And while I'm just a 2L, I believe I remember something about cruel and unusual punishment, so I'm thinking his lawyer should consider this in the impending appeal, I mean, he is going to be in some pain, you know, cause he's a tightass. Man, I'm on fire today. But seriously, look at him. Then again, maybe cruel and unusual punishment is having to hear him whine all day about how his "sheets are too rough," and "where is my chianti I asked for?" and blah blah blah. I think that's how rich people get to be in prison. I hear Martha Stewart got to make cupcakes, so he has hope.

Didn't see that in the paper box...

I don't know what's worse: when you go into a porn shop and the cashier asks the guy in front of you whether he'd like to rent or buy the 6 videos placed on the counter, or the fact that he throws a copy of the local metro newspaper on top of the stack. Like he came into to buy a newpaper and not the porn.
