So after I pass the bar exam, there will probably be a fairly long lull before I go to work for my law firm. Since the economy is in the toilet, most major law firms are pushing back their start dates for first-year associates anywhere from a few months to a year or more. [...]

Note: This is another post for International Pagan Values Month.
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
I have been thinking about the post I wrote yesterday on sources for pagan values, and I have realized (partly because of a conversation that [...]
