Law Students

By George

Posted on September 06, 2008
We had our first working-parents-with-a-sick-kid experience yesterday, when our daycare provider called to tell us Becca was sporting a 101.7 fever. Yikes. She'd slept an unusual 12 1/2 hours the night before and woken up feeling slightly warm, but seemed...

Three Years

Posted on June 12, 2008
Three years ago yesterday, Dan and I and our small entourage drove up to Springfield, MA to get married in a public park. A lot has changed. For one, that entourage included three unmarried couples. One is getting married on...

Getting My Name Out There

Posted on June 10, 2008
Today I learned that the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights (and also the ACLU of Northern Cal) is filing an amicus brief in an appellate case on immigrant rights, and they want to cite...my 3L paper, which was sent to...

Love on a Stick

Posted on June 10, 2008
Yesterday was a particularly miserable day in the apartment; anywhere not within 5 feet of the air conditioner was uncomfortably humid, and for most of the day outside was worse, so I felt like a prisoner. A prisoner in charge...

That's Hot

Posted on June 09, 2008
Our apartment, that is. Leading to some creative sleeping arrangements, like Becca on the living room floor near the air conditioner, me in bed half the night and on the couch the rest. We had a small drama because the...

Don't Worry, I'm A Doctor

Posted on June 06, 2008
Here is where I say J.D.s are obviously not really doctors so M.D.s and Ph.Ds don't hate me. The robe was nice, though Dan points out that my mortarboard can never beat the velvet octagonal tam from his graduation. Three...

the gala

Posted on June 04, 2008
There was wine, and a live auction, and this teenager playing the violin who was SO good, but what really got to me was when a current fellow who's leaving in 2 months said, "You'll probably get that case. In...

Yikes!

Posted on June 02, 2008
There's a formal gala for my future organization tomorrow night. I either need same-day alterations or a new dress. Leaning toward the latter, going to the mall with Becca as soon as I finish my Corporations podcast. Have a hair...

She Likes To Hear Herself Talk

Posted on May 30, 2008
Bar study is going better than I thought; it's not interesting or anything, but I'm getting the job done and basically on the schedule I made up last week. Yesterday Becca and I took a walk around the neighborhood and...

Study Snack

Posted on May 28, 2008
A bowl of frozen grapes can make even parsing the different types of deeds bearable.

a new week

Posted on May 27, 2008
Back from a disappointingly gray weekend in California. Lots to say, but the basic thought is that I remembered why I used my family for so much inspiration in my writing. My 2L year, when I shared a novel chapter...

Westward Adventure

Posted on May 22, 2008
Becca and I leave tomorrow for a long weekend in California. I have no idea what it'll be like to fly cross-country with a 4-month old, but she's got her own window seat (for her carseat) and I think that'll...

Time Flies

Posted on May 20, 2008
Miss Rebecca, ages one week and eighteen weeks.

Bar Study Begins

Posted on May 19, 2008
The Massachusetts bar exam is in 10 weeks and 2 days. Today was my first day on the job. The BAR/BRI classes don't start until next week, I think, but today I cracked open Dan's 2006 Conviser Mini Review and...

note

Posted on May 19, 2008
The person who died last week was my Aunt Jeanne, an incredibly loving and warm-hearted person - and one of the best cooks and cake-makers ever - who even inspired some of my writing. We're all doing OK, and I'll...

Baby Becca: Month 4

Posted on May 17, 2008
Dear Becca, Guess what? You're still a great baby. You sleep well, eat quickly, and love books with things to touch and toys that are easy to grab and shove toward your mouth. You love Mommy and Daddy too, which...

Marrying Out

Posted on May 16, 2008
CM writes a post that reminds me what it was like to date my ex-boyfriend, who is Indian and whose parents expected him to marry an Indian girl of their particular ethnicity and religious denomination, although he had never shown...

A Happy Anticlimax

Posted on May 15, 2008
Okay, it's over. School, that is. I'me done going to school full-time, forever. I just emailed in my last paper. Now, the paper isn't that great. And Safari got stuck on me the first time I was sending it. And...

Careless Detention

Posted on May 13, 2008
The Washington Post has just put up part 3 of their 4-part series on health care in immigrant detention. It's absolutely stellar and I hope they win a Pulitzer Prize for it - they've got video, copies of every major...

short hits

Posted on May 12, 2008
- It didn't last. Becca woke up at 3 last night to eat, and yelped at 6, although that time her pacifier satisfied her. Oh well. She's not even 4 months old, so I'm not busting out the bells and...

Happy Mother's Day!

Posted on May 11, 2008
BEST PRESENT EVER: On Friday, Becca slept through the night. I woke up at 5:22 full of milk, checked on her, and found her sucking her fingers in her sleep. Yesterday, she did it again. Crazy baby! I also got...

good times

Posted on May 09, 2008
So yes, I tried out for Jeopardy on Wednesday. It was...well, it was weird, because I knew exactly what to expect, and I recognized the staffers, but this time it was for me instead of for Dan. It was great....

Occupational Hazard

Posted on May 06, 2008
On a much lighter note, yesterday I got a hickey for the first time in...eight years? Ten? FROM THE BABY. Becca has recently decided that everything near her mouth must be apprehended and sucked on, and she doesn't quite have...

More Tales from Detention

Posted on May 05, 2008
I have to link to the NYT's big story on detainee deaths, which includes the full list they got from their FOIA request and a disappointingly boilerplate statement from ICE. The stories are absolutely heartrending. Three years, 66 deaths, and...

Roasted Veggies on Whole Wheat Pasta

Posted on May 04, 2008
Dan and I went to Houston's recently to have the best veggie burger in existence, and when we went they had some sort of gas line problem that resulted in their fry-making doohickey being out of order, and so I...

Saturday Night

Posted on May 03, 2008
The graduation update is as follows: the 3L paper is submitted, and I've got two more 15-20 pagers due by the 14th. The good news is that largely due to Dan kicking me out of the house again today, the...

Baby Galactus

Posted on May 01, 2008
I will lick this planet first, and devour it later...

Tales from Detention

Posted on April 30, 2008
PT-Law Mom's post reminds me that I haven't posted about immigration in a while - spending all those hours writing my 3L paper about it kept it off the blog inadvertently. Although I did mention the general crappy state of...

Biking for A Good Cause

Posted on April 29, 2008
So for the charity portion of our Jeopardy spend-a-thon, we decided to take several thousand dollars and split it three ways: a joint donation and one for each of us. The joint donation went to Friends of the World Food...

Marrying the GOP

Posted on April 28, 2008
LL writes a great post in response to a question that has always bewildered me: "How can you be married to a Republican?" (People have asked me this question both while laughing and while seriously shaking their heads.) The short...
