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 […]

As I sit in my apartment counting down until I, the last remaining out of town captive (see victim) of BU Law’s 1L class departs for a short (5 days thanks to my lovable but arguably inconvenient puppy) vacation (reprieve, parole) to my home (if I even truly have one of those) in Las Vegas, […]

“Man is sometimes extraordinarily, passionately, in love with suffering, and that is a fact. There is no need to appeal to universal history to prove that; only ask yourself, if you are a man and have lived at all. As far as my personal opinion is concerned, to care only for well-being seems to me […]

That’s pretty much what I have been looking at all day. A computer with some scratch paper, sodas randomly laying around me and my books next to me. Of course, that means it’s finals. You would think by my third year I would have this thing down, and I wouldn’t stress about it. Well, I […]

The Manhattan program was in good hands with its pro bono merger and acquisitions specialist lawyer, who knew exactly how to resolve the […]

Most people who make it to law school have always worked hard. Still, prior to law school I had always had time to go home for the holidays. I may have had to do some work while at home, but I’d never thought of skipping out on being with my family. Well, not so much […]

I have a 3rd installment of my “Inclusion” post lined up next, but I haven’t told you about my little man lately, so here’s an update about how he’s helping me rethink student debt. He still dominates the couch I wrote about 1L year, and recently, as I sat next to him queuing up a […]

The main story in a recent Newseek issue was about the food divide that is currently growing in the United States. “Foodie culture” has exploded with shows like “Top Chef'” and everything on the Food Network. Chefs across the country are promoting “slow food” and the use of local ingredients. Farmers markets seem to be […]

Most of us law students love to hear our own voices. We are former debaters, mock trial masters, model U.N. buffs, and armchair analysts who attended law school in part, I suspect, because we believed we could use our loud mouths and over-zealous opinions to make a living—and, in many cases, to make a difference.

As a person who has spent much of my time dedicated to creativity, originality, and independent thought, law school is somewhat hard to adapt to. I come from the world of film and the culture of hip hop. In film it is the goal of the story teller to find new and innovative ways to […]
