A friend of mine on the takeaways from Harvard’s Law Firms class.

1. You’ll never get a job. 
2. Even if you do, you’ll be miserable.
3. If by some miracle you get a job and manage to stay, you’ll never make partner.
4. Even if you make partner, your life will still be miserable until retire.

In other insular news, my International Law professor is kind of a big deal. 

Marisa Tomei’s floral jumpsuit has brought me around to jumpsuits.

Lea and I watched My Cousin Vinny last night.  It has some great courtroom scenes and, of course, the jumpsuit.

I put my senior thesis online: Media Infringements on Informational Privacy in a Digital Age.  This thesis destroyed my previously held belief that the law is rational.

Oh SCOTUS….

The aspect of law school that I am most excited about is the kvetching about Supreme Court justices.

On the list of supreme court justices who invoke my ire, Scalia has traditionally , historically, been, in the past, the worst offender.  This week, I would like to congratulate Justice Clarence Thomas for overtaking the Hon. Antonin Scalia as the worst member of our highest court.  Thomas has been a rising star on this list for some time now, thanks to his refusal to write or express original opinions, as well as his apparent distaste for the notion that someone might, at some point, ask him to actually adjudicate something.  He clinched the title this week, however, by noting that he is uneasy with the concept of rights.  That’s correct, folks, Justice Thomas isn’t sure that people should have rights, or indeed that inalienable freedoms ought to exist as a concept.

Kind of makes you wonder what the Senate was thinking when they confirmed him…

The Honorable Justice Clarence Thomas: “I have to admit that I’m one of those people that still thinks the dishwasher is a miracle.” (via nytimes)
