While JP, Ant, Clarince T and AKen (who's currently being held captive by NAMBLA) enjoyed this blog quite a bit as bright-eyed, bushy-tailed 2Ls and even into 3L year a bit, I think I speak for all of us when I say that this blog's theme is too nice for anything we'd want to write about, well, anything these days.So, while we're all making choices between spending 90 hours a week doing someone

There haven't been any posts here forever because all of the sudden us law students became responsible for the information that previously seemed silly to bother to learn. Hopefully next semester we'll get off to another start.Take it sleazy.

Magic. It’s what happens when we utter some words, think in a certain way, and “it” does what we want for us.As everyone has experienced far too many times, it’s pretty hard to do everything we’d like to do. Social situations are often frought with the necessity of preserving several different rapports simultaneously; if offered the chance to talk to any of these four people individually, I’m

Roland Martin, who JP'd never heard of, wrote a little polemic on marriage for cnn.com. The title is "Saving Marriages must be a National Priority," and, after chronicling his eight-year-old failed marriage, (which he, surprise of all surprises, thought shouldn't have ended) he wrote a particularly sappy and uninformative review of a movie where eight marriages aren't perfect.

From ESPN.com: 1 in 5 fans do things to improve their favorite team's luck.

California has outlawed 'Mom', 'Dad', 'husband' and 'wife' from its public schools, because they're anti-gay. Pretty soon we're going to run out of words: Isn't the word 'rich' pretty denigrating to poor people? Perhaps Schwarzenegger (he seriously is the governor of Cali) thinks forcing young people to come up with roundabout ways to express simple concepts better prepares them for a career in

Whenever I'm doing research, there's always some kind of unexpected thread tying cases together (by unexpected, I mean not the thing I just typed in the search box). Like the Richard Scarry yellow bug: not really a main character--just there. So one time, drug-sniffing dogs were appearing everywhere. Another time it was movable ceiling tiles.

I haven't had much the time to blog CNN recently, but this story is a gem. Ohio State Legislator accidentally shows porn to high school class during presentation. Obviously he isn't aware of the Establishment Clause in the US Constitution, which requires separation of schools and no-no spots.

Our favorite plaintiff has returned. Jonathan Lee Riches is now suing Bill Belichick for spying on everything. Very literally.

Good news, fans of judicial integrity! As you are aware, your beloved Clarince T is normally as steady and unflappable as the Original Constitution preserved in its climate-controlled case, but there are a few things that will set my blood to boil.

I'm sure you regular Seriatim followers have noticed a dearth of posts coming from Mr. AKen since the end of the last term when this blog began.

Topp's Meat Co. has recalled approximately 21.7 MILLION pounds of frozen hamburger in the wake of an outbreak of e. coli sickness across the Northeast.

Another campus shooting: A University of Memphis student was shot in his car around 10pm last night. Rumor has it he was a football player, although the University is waiting to release his name.

The venerable 2d Circuit recently handed down a ruling invalidating a change in the FCC policy regarding "fleeting expletives". [Fox Television Stations, et. al. v. FCC] For the better part of 30 years, the FCC has said that they would not seek sanctions against networks that air such expletives, rather they would save their ire for those broadcasts that constituted "verbal shock treatment".

A quaint little store around the corner from my chambers called Moco Market has a build-your-own six-pack deal at a heck of a price, and with a fine selection of excellent local brews. I availed myself of the options and have uncovered some shining examples of what makes Wisconsin

or this is one of the funnier lines in a case I've ever read. From Yauger v. Skiing Enterprises, Inc. (JPSLS students may remember this case from "Contracts: Law in Action I"): The first case involved an accident during a stock car race at a county race track. The plaintiff, a driver in the race, sustained severe brain damage when, after crashing through the guardrail surrounding the racetrack,

Thanks be to the JP for turning me on to the modern marvel that is Conservapedia. While he takes issue with many of their tactics, I wish to applaud them for their totally fair and balanced account of the difficulties I experienced during my confirmation to the Supreme Court.

According to ESPN.com, global golf organizations have developed a unified approach to punishing doping in golf. Before, apparently, you could dope on the Japanese Tour and then just scootch over to the Australian or Korean tours. Now, your shit won't be good anywhere."The list of banned substances includes anabolic agents, hormones, stimulants, narcotics, beta blockers and masking agents." The

Trying, as ever, to be a helpful Conservapedian, the great JP made a few additions to Conservapedia's list of bodily organs to cure some obvious omissions. 'Penis' and 'vagina' aren't on there, and if anything's a bodily organ, they are. So I added them, under the cleverly-devised guise of OverturnRoeWade. What did I get for my labors?

Student groups can be counted on for one thing: self-promotion. One of the biggest self-promotions promulgated by these self-promoters is they buy food their meetings. Correction. They don't actually buy the food. They lobby SBA to give them money so they can enjoy tastey treats and get people to say, 'wow, these guys are benevolent. Surely I will go to their meetings.' Why does SBA do this?
