Law School 101 for pre-schoolers – so easy! My son will be 4-years old this Friday. Wow. Hard to believe he is getting to be such a big boy, but he is. He’s quite interested in studying and my law school books. On Saturday while I was studying at my Mom’s house (way easier than at my own house where said 4-year-old and his 1-year-old sister would constantly interrupt me), he called me.

Let me tell you – that’s a LOT of cleaning up and putting away. I’m frustrated. I’m tired. I’m lonely (which is odd since I don’t have 10 seconds to myself)....
If Weak Appellate Brief is Written and There’s No One Around to Read It, Does it Still Suck? This is a project we work on during the entire first year of law school culminating in what hopefully is a well-written appellate brief and an intelligent, well-prepared oral argument.
