Welcome to this week’s (timely) edition of the Law School Roundup, featuring posts by future and current (and soon to be not) law students. Enjoy!

• Winnowing. A necessary task. Terra Nullius
• Credibility. Not sure it’s worth $150,000. Fight the Hypo
• Focus. Remembering it can be helpful. Legally Numb
• Goal. Employment is, generally, the goal, so having some is good. Butterflyfish
• Seeking. It’s out there somewhere, the perfect job. Knocked Up (and in Law School)
• Fighting. What good is a law degree if you can’t fight tickets from your (law) school? The War of All Against All
• Clique. Time and place, my friends, and eventually, it’s not either. Who Owns the Fox
• Smarts. There are different kinds. Frequent Citations
• Pictures. Really are worth a thousand words. Lag Liv
• Nutshell. Definitely worth a read. Shelley’s Case
• Flyers. Seriously, isn’t it just a popularity contest? Thrown for a Loop
• Senioritis. Law school style. I’m feelin’ it, too. Yayarolly goes to law school
• LawDad. Babies, babies, everywhere! Preaching to the Perverted

Look for next week’s roundup at Evan Schaeffer’s Legal Underground. It’ll be back here in about two weeks.

Now that the MPRE is over (damn the MPRE!) I am heading into my last week of school before Spring Break with only two things on my plate—one more edit^[1] and The Task.

I’m starting to get a little nervous about The Task. I have several pages, some of which are actually good but most of which are mediocre at best—and quite a few of which are really, really bad. I finally have a solid, concrete vision in my head of what the whole thing is going to end up looking like, but that vision has not hit the paper yet. I’ve got to get it on paper, and soon—all 60-something pages of it. With citations to authority.

So I’ve got about two weeks, maybe a little less, to get the First Draft of The Task done. I keep telling myself I work better under pressure and that once all these edits are off my plate I can just write and write and write. I hope that’s true.

1. And this means EVER—I’m almost done with the big part of my journal duties, though I’ll be doing follow-up edits for the rest of the semester. I am pretty much totally and complete excited. ↩
