A Woman in Law School

Yes, it's an art to be mastered.

And I'm trying to weave the notion into my tired head.

At times I feel as if there is no such thing as privacy in law school and thus, "the art" of it comes into play.

It's not a new idea. In general, people are clueless about the space around them and about the conversations we all become a part of. I recently worked my way into a conversation after I had eavesdropped for a good 15 minutes. I was happy I did as the two professors had lovely ideas and suggestions for me. However, I still overheard their private conversation making it far from private.

So, take note! We are always listening. Nothing you say is per se "private." Especially to law students, as seen HERE!

Judge Brennan's take: "Baby mama" does not refer to any particular race. It is currently a trendy pop-culture term for a single mother, as evidenced by the recent Hollywood movie (released on DVD in 2008) titled "Baby Mama," involving Saturday Night Live actress, Tina Fey, playing the role of a white single mother.

For the rest of the exchange including why a baby mama even needs to be defined go here.

Ever watch St. Elmo's Fire? I went twenty-some years without seeing it and life was just fine. Now my appreciation for 80's movies will never be the same. Eh... Here, enjoy a clip! It talks about law students!

My new favorite commercial.

Above the Law posted its list of the top 10 legal songs.

I love Stuff White People Like. I cannot stop laughing over some of the items.

The Law humor bin. Funny but remaining skeptical.

And this new found gem!

The Faculty Lounge has a great post today on courses that may be more useful to law students than others. Humorous to read now, most likely wished to be true a year from now.

I chuckled over this on Terr Nullius. She's got a great sense of humor!

A young lawyer, starting up his private practice, was very anxious to
impress potential clients. When he saw the first visitor to his office
come through the door, he immediately picked up his phone and spoke
into it," I'm sorry, but my caseload is so tremendous that I'm not
going to be able to look into your problem for at least a month. I'll
have to get back to you then." He then turned to the man who had just
walked in, and said, "Now, what can I do for you?"

"Nothing," replied the man. "I'm here to hook up your phone."
