Welcome

Thanks for stopping by my little place on the web. This parking spot is not for me to rant (though there will certainly be some of that), but as a place for my former and current students to converse about the full gamut of law school questions and about the class assignments and goals: you know I feel that conversation is the best learning experience.

So, follow. Check in every few days and chat away: anything is fair game (remember, I live vicariously through all your wild lives). To start, some of you already in law school can express some wisdom since decision time is beginning to arrive for this year’s seniors, and those of you currently being abused can ask the world your questions about the class assignments.

This is for you. Enjoy.

From the "you can't make this stuff up" files:


Several court and legal related programs were criticized this week in one Republican senator's annual "Wastebook," which chronicles the top 100 projects that voters might consider a waste of tax dollars. Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) singled out a Michigan program that was literally "flushing down taxpayer dollars," when Michigan used $10,000 from the Department of Transportation for 400 talking urinal cakes to fight drunk driving, the report said.
For the male Michiganders, one of the messages, read by a female voice, says: "Listen up. That’s right! I'm talking to you. Had a few drinks? Maybe a few too many? Then do yourself and everyone else a favor. Call a sober friend or a cab. Oh, and don't forget. Wash your hands."
