Since I have been in law school, I have used this blog primarily to speak about the sometimes awkward, sometimes difficult, always fun, refreshing, thought provoking challenges that I have experienced since I have arrived here in Boston. And though I would be lying over-simplifying if I said that the adjustment period is over or […]

In law school there is never enough time. Time takes on a very different meaning here and you begin to realize that you value your time much more that you ever did before. Yet in that valuation of time you realize that despite how much you value your time…it really isn’t your time to value. […]

I love reading the news… I mean… I REALLY REALLY LOVE READING THE NEWS On facebook (and other social media sites) I am what you call a serial poster. I mean…I truly have a problem… A problem which in many ways has yeilded a solution to other problems… I didn’t understand just how this […]

As winter break is coming to a close and as I reflect on both the short time I spent at “home” in Las Vegas over break (5 days) and the time I have been in Boston (5 months) I have thought about what “home” means. As a person who lived in the the same 5 […]

Law school is an interesting place in that it forces otherwise highly intelligent, capable, academic rock stars to become overly self-conscious, timid workaholics who melt under the sheer weight of the experience and the intimidatingly obvious intellect of their professors. Of course this proverbial scrambling of the egg heads is all par for the course in […]

Being a first year law student who is older on average than most of the 2nd and 3rd year law students can pose interesting challenges. On the one hand it is cool because you are not alone, if you are savvy, you can typically find a couple of other students (indeed two of the people […]

It is often said that with great power comes great responsibility. I think that I would take it a step forward and say that the journey towards great power also necessarily comes with great responsibility. Since my arrival at BU we have been told tons of times about how everything we do can have repercussions, […]

In torts class we have recently begun to discuss “assumption of the risk” as a defense for negligence. Briefly defined assumption of the risk is a defense when the plaintiff has voluntarily and knowingly assumed the risks inherent to the (dangerous) activity in which he/she was participating at the time of the injury. If I […]
