What moron thought making the graduation ceremony on the 15th was a good idea? Even if it's the only time all the professional programs can get together on the same day, it's still stupid. Why? Well, allow me to give you the direct quote:

As you may be aware, convocation falls within the Skills and Professional Responsibility Program.   Attendance ( Read more... )

Yep. That's me. Internalising my hysterics as we speak.

I flunked out of Tax Law. Just looked down at the exam and froze. When I woke up an hour had passed. I had written nothing and I still had no idea how I was going to tackle the thing. Total and utter blank. I never finished. So I have to take a supplemental . . . something. I don't know what ( Read more... )

Well, if anyone's interested in how I satisfied my inner nerd, here is the essay I handed in to my professor for my Popular Culture and the Law course. Because that's about all I've been doing this week.

And I really am. Especially since the blinds where I'm staying are those "privacy" kinds and don't actually do all that much about the sunlight coming in the window. And isn't the point of having your only class of the day start at 3:30 in the afternoon that you can sleep until noon and still have time to do your readings that morning ( Read more... )

Last two hours before my first final exam. Two weeks before it's all over. I can't believe my first year of law school is almost over. I feel like I ought to put up a countdown to the end of the year like the one up on Phoenix Song to the release of Half Blood Prince. Of course, I don't know how to do that, but it would be nice. As it stands, the ( Read more... )

Property class is mind-boggling. I mean really. If there ever was an area of law that someone needs to sit down and revamp from the bottom up, it's property. I mean, the rules that prevent people from doing this that or the other thing are maddeningly stupid. All because of historical precedent ( Read more... )

The week is almost over. So I have to wait through the last ten minutes of class, which I am doing right now. And obviously not paying attention to the discussion of Vested and Congtingent interest. Because I don't want to pay attention and because this will keep me from shrieking at the woman in front of me to pick a freakin' Y. She's playing ( Read more... )

Lawyers have them. They just have no morals. The distinction is there as anyone who has ever taken any philosophy courses, even in high school the distinction is made. And that's the problem. Lawyers have a very strict code of ethics that almost gurantees that you will be a horribly amoral person at least once in your career ( Read more... )

I love the way we're talking about the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada and how things like whether or not the Judges on the Supreme Court were smokers would have affected their opinions on whether or not there ought to be a ban on smoking advertisements. I mean, really. I should be paying closer attention but I find listening to Supreme ( Read more... )

I'm actually in Property Law at this very moment. I mean, we have wireless access in the law school and I now have a laptop. Toshiba and it cost $1,500. That's all I can tell you about it. I'm about as not computer literate as you can get having been born in '82. He's babbling about the midterm. In the midterm in which he asked questions like, " ( Read more... )
