Law School Roundup Announcement

I’m pleased to announce that the student-written portion of the Law School Roundup will be taken over by ImNobody, over at Thanks, But No Thanks. Look for next Sunday’s Roundup over there!

I’ve really enjoyed doing the roundup for the last couple of years! Keep reading, everyone!

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Law School Roundup! Enjoy!

Look for next week’s Roundup at Evan Schaeffer’s Legal Underground. I’ve received a few emails from folks who might be interested in taking over the Roundup, so if you haven’t contacted me but you are interested, let me know soon! I’ll be passing the torch in the next few weeks—maybe as soon as before my next scheduled Roundup—so the window of opportunity is narrowing!

See you Monday.

Weekly Law School Roundup #106

Welcome to this week’s Law School Roundup, in which I point to a few posts that caught my eye over the last week or so. Apologies for the lateness (and for the shortness) of this Roundup—I’m struggling with the eighty-seven-millionth cold I’ve had since September, and it’s hard to think through the snot.

On that note, enjoy!

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

October 8th 2007

Law School Roundup #90

By the way, I know I’m supposed to get the Law School Roundup posted at some point, but I’m having trouble pulling it together. Frankly, the only thing I’ve been paying much attention to in the law-student-blogosphere this week has been the nightmare Lag Liv, her husband, and son have been going through.

It’s times like these the anonymity of blogging really gets to me. Luckily, not everyone is anonymous, but, face it, most of us are. Anonymity is just fine when we’re all griping about the work, the work, and, oh yeah, the work—or the gunners, the administration, the feeling of being completely lost—but every once in a while, real life comes crashing down and I realize we are NOT just floating along in a bubble called law school.

Perhaps I’m just a little introspective right now because my grand plans for next year didn’t turn out the way I thought they would. Don’t get me wrong—my “Plan B” is just fine, and might, in fact, end up better than the plan I originally pursued. But I’m actually staring Real Life in the face here, when I’m actually not really ready not to be a student any more.

The lesson to be learned is that you can’t manage your life. Oh, you can keep your ducks lined up, and make sure you cross your t’s and dot your i’s, but every now and then someone will come along with some birdseed, and the ducks will scatter, or you’ll knock over the pot of ink, and your t’s and i’s will merge with a sea of messy. I’m having to just let go lately—get through the day, and then get through the next day, and get through the following day—and the only crappy thing about that is knowing that there will always be another day, even when I’ve caught up or finished my work.

I know this hardly counts as a Roundup, but it’s the best I can manage right now.
