Shortly after 8 a.m. this past Saturday morning, swarms of eager 1L's descended on the D.C. Superior Courthouse.  Clad in suits and toting briefcases and easels, over 100 students funneled through security to fill the lobby and all first floor corridors.  They did not come to interview for job prospects, receive outlines from Barbri, or even enjoy free booze, they came to compete in the annual Mock Trial Spring Competition.

What a great week to return from your Mexican vacation! International Law Week consists of daily events the week of March 9-13, 2009 - the week directly following Spring Break. When all of the upperclassmen arrive back to the Law School with their sunburns and stories and the lowly 1Ls emerge from the bowels of Burns Library after the journal competition (or, for some, after starting their outlines in preparations of finals), they will be in the midst of this exciting week. Hopefully it will ease the depression of returning back to the grind.

Thank goodness.  It is less than a week until Spring Break.  I don't know about you, but I've been under a hefty amount of stress these last few weeks.

I love malbec. The best are sensual, sexy, medium- to full-bodied red wines that, at a price range between $7.99 - $11.99, are a great bargain.

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

A lot has been made in the past few days about an editorial cartoon that the New York Post ran last Wednesday.  If you haven't seen it, shows two police officers standing in front of a chimpanzee who has clearly just been shot by one of the officers.
