My first piece on Social Earth

Greetings All, I come to you with another dispatch from the world of 3L-dom. I, like many of my friends and colleagues are still figuring out where we fit in, in the law and the world that surrounds it and or is powered by it. I am still attempting to connect all the dots, and will […]

My first piece on Social Earth

  Greetings All, I come to you with another dispatch from the world of 3L-dom. I, like many of my friends and colleagues are still figuring out where we fit in, in the law and the world that surrounds it and or is powered by it. I am still attempting to connect all the dots, and […]

Anti-Social Enterprise

 To all my third year law friends, I apologize for my absence of the last couple of months. My antisocial-ness has been directly attributable to my attempt to build a social enterprise. I understand that the idea that I am not being social so that I can engage in social entrepreneurship sounds pompous at worst […]

Matters of Matriculation

3L has been an interesting, stressful, and strange year thus far. I suppose this is not the vibe that one would expect from a person on their way out of the halls of academia, which oftentimes feel like they are closing in on you. However, as an older student I feel a bit apprehensive about […]

We are family

Moving three thousand miles away to attend law school is a very interesting experiment in growth and coping skills. Prior to law school I lived within the same 5 mile radius my entire life, and for most of that time a significant amount of my closest family members also resided within a 5 or 10 […]

Dream Chasers

“Living the dream” is NOT currently and may NOT EVER be the three word phrase used to describe the three rings of hello paradise scholastic enrichment (better?) that law students experience. That said, as a 3L I can honestly say that one of the best parts of law school for me has been watching friends, […]

Blog post, Part 39

The last book that I read before law school was Chasing the Flame: Sergio Vieira de Mello and the Fight to Save the World by Samantha Power. Her previous book, A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide, began as a paper for class while she was attending Harvard Law. As I look […]

Finishing 3L and Senior Week!

Done with law school! For the last two weeks, variations of this message have cropped up on my facebook newsfeed as each of my fellow 3L’s have completed their FINAL final exam or paper. When I turned in my last paper, after two exams, I was hesitant to post such a shameless self-congratulations. But, alas, […]

NetWORKing

It has often been said that one can not underestimate the power of networking. As law students we are consistently urged to take vital time out of our schedules to attend events as often as possible. I confess that I try to do this, but I also confess the working to build one’s network on […]

Class Action…

As I reflect on the second semester of my second year coming to a close I look forward to my third year with both eagerness and apprehension. Coming off of working at the District Attorney’s Office, this year for the most part was the return to the practical for me. There was very little in […]
