Study!

I am terrified. Only one more week of classes, four days to study, and then finals are upon us. YIKES! Where did the time go? Part of me feels prepared, and yet the other part of me is terrified. It doesn’t help that my mind blanks whenever I think about taking all four of my [...]

Week One – Complete!

Well, I am not completely overwhelmed with course work yet!
I have now completed my first full week of law school, and I can honestly say that I enjoyed my time in class. Some of the material that I read for homework was puzzling, specifically the infamous Neff case that still has most 1L students scratching [...]
