The other day, my little boy brought me a clay pot that he had planted a seed in awhile ago and he was concerned that nothing had ever grown in it (it had, but unfortunately we have a mischievous cat that likes to pick at and eat young growing things). I realized that we [...]

So here I am in Chicago, with one day of the bar exam down and one to go. Today was essay day, and it was the day I was most worried about. There were a few questions that I just flat-out did not know the answer to, so I just… made up law where I [...]

I’m sitting in a trusts and estates class here at my fancy-schmancy law school. The class is supposed to be about estate planning, but today the professor is going through the entire Uniform Trust Code, provision by provision. He’s reading things out loud.

I’ve been doing a summer internship at a New York City law firm, and I just had my exit interview where I was informed that I will be getting an official full-time job offer for next year after I graduate.
