• Outlining is about the process. Not.

  The gospel, according to law school, is that outlining prepares you for exams.  Do your own outlines. Don’t use commercial outlines or other student’s outlines.  When you’re finished outlining, you’ll be ready to rumble.  I…

• Be relentless.

  At the start of law school, another blawger highlighted a useful piece of advice from a professor: be relentless. Torts offered similar advice the other day: “You’re all wusses. Get a little nasty and you’ll…

• I want to stop and smell that sweet smell of the sewer.

  When all through the halls, law students were chomping to get their feet stomping.  And this is how it happened. Class finishes at 4:00 PM on Thursday.  I burst out of the classroom, only to…

  Every now and then, you stumble across a case that reminds you just how funny law is.  Frigaliment Importing Co. v. B.N.S. International Sales Corp. is such a case. I will say nothing other than…
