Woe Is Me

Legal writing and time are my enemies, caffeine is my ally. The outcome is not in doubt but reaching that resolution is already hellish.

This Is How I'm Procrastinating At The Moment

Obligatory Male Chauvinistic Post

Good to know that man still overestimates woman's ability.

The women held off the men Sunday as Tatyana Pozdnyakova used a 20 1/2-minute head start to her advantage to win the 19th annual Los Angeles Marathon.

Under a new race format called "The Challenge," Pozdnyakova, 49, of Ukraine, and 14 other women were allowed to begin before the men. She earned a $50,000 bonus prize for her winning time of 2:30:17.

David Kirui, 26, of Kenya won the men's division in 2:13:41.

That would be a 3 min. 54 sec. difference when the first woman crossed the finish line to when the first man crossed the line. That means she needed only a 16 min. and 37 sec. head start instead of the 20 min. 30 sec. that she was given.

Sad But True

I spent more time per word, editing the prior post than I have editing my appellate brief. 6:15pm tomorrow cannot come soon enough.

Bruins Sneak Into The Pac-10 Tourney

This Thursday, if the Trojans can somehow defeat the Wildcats and when the Bruins do get past the Huskies; my Bruins will end their embarrassing losing streak to the hated Trojans.

Wishful thinking, I know. No chance of the Trojans playing past Thursday.

Conversing about appellate briefs.

cabunny (10:52:03 AM): are you gonna turn in a fake copy to the library - w/ typos and such?
Bruin7089 (10:52:20 AM): that's funny
Bruin7089 (10:52:38 AM): I never thought about it that way.
Bruin7089 (10:52:52 AM): Sounds like too much work though
Bruin7089 (10:53:07 AM): I might just turn in my rough draft to the library.
cabunny (10:54:02 AM): you should put something about a fainting goat - that would be funny
Bruin7089 (10:54:52 AM): yeah... people in the state of Montana are held liable for performing sexual acts with goats after they have lost consciousness i.e. fainted
Bruin7089 (10:55:01 AM): strictly liable of course

I'll be there to greet everyone in hell.

Question Of The Day

Seriously, who intends to run only half of a marathon?

Moot Court: First Round

Not bad at all. The opposing counsel on Miranda was asked to recite the facts and she ended up taking nearly three minutes reciting the facts from her notes before one of the judges interrupted her and made her jump into her argument. She actually did really well save for the fact that she relied way too much on her notes. She didn't make nearly enough eye contact as she kept her eyes on her notes and basically talked to them. Her partner wasn't quite as sharp and also relied on her notes too much. But she did well too because she knew her position really well. Also, both of them made the mistake of bringing too many notes to the lectern and not making eye contact with all three judges to make sure they were ready for the presentation.

Peters was damn near perfect. Didn't get fazed, answered tough questions that Prof. Sullivan said he thought he wouldn't be able to answer and did so persuasively, he was calm throughout and sounded intelligent. He did so well that one of the judges tried to trip him up at the end by asking him a statutory rape question. He didn't respond well to that but that was the only question that got him. The only real complaint from two of the judges is that he seemed to dispassionate. Sounded boring to me but he was by far the best in the room at the time.

As for myself, I was a bit more nervous than I thought I would be partially because I had to follow Peters performance. They gave me tips on how to handle questions that I don't understand - rather than asking the judge to clarify, I should have said tried to steer the discussion by saying something like, "I understand your question to mean this... and this is the answer to that question" - and what to do with my hands because apparently I was gripping the lectern too tightly. I was gripping the lectern tightly because Prof. Legal Writing had made me aware of my hand gestures.

After it was all said and done they told everyone they did well and should definitely do the third round but that's what they tell everyone. I still don't intend to do the third round.

Team Bunny and Sty along with Team FG and I will be doing moot court today at 1pm. Wish the ladies and the person going against me the best of luck.

File This Under - Yeah, Right

Stummy writes, "So I'm going to say something no one would ever expect from Ms. Shopoholic. 'NO MORE SHOPPING!!' I'm quitting!" This was posted just after 2am today. Have any stores been open since? Kidding.

I'll give Stummy some credit and set the over and under at 8 days, figuring that she can't make it through next weekend without buying that really cute pair of shoes that would just complete that one outfit she has or that one really cute outfit that would complete that pair of shoes she already has. Anyone dare to take the over on this?

Sat On Death Row Today

Brandy, Danielle, Jay N., Steve C., Debbie, Jen O. Myself, Rita, Bunny, Macy, Peters, Charles, Oksana, John; that's the whole fourth row and part of the third row in Civ. Pro. II. We all got called on to answer short questions relating to trial by jury. It didn't go too bad. But that's the last time we're offering Mr. Easter Egg muffins.

Also in Civ. Pro. II, Rita brought a dozen doughnuts and a dozen mini muffins for Bunny as a sorrowful offering for all the times she missed class and Bunny was called on in place of her.

Not The One I Want Dreaming About Me

Linda just informed me that she had a dream that included several sectionmates one of whom was me. I'm not certain but I think everyone in law school has had at least one dream that included one of their fellow schoolmates. It's just one of the many ways that law school messes with your mind.

Is That A Tunnel Or A Cave?

I'm thinking Annie can tell the difference.

Arpineh Should Do The Same

This article reminded me about Arpineh's possible injury. She should test her own and not Lieber's, of course. That's what I really mean to say.

I'm sitting in Crim. Pro. and more than a few people are missing. It's nowhere near empty but for some reason it's also the most dead I've ever seen my section during a class. Maybe it's because the due date for the appellate brief is drawing closer and closer. Or perhaps it's the fact that we have a substitute professor for today and our regular professor is going to be going over this stuff on Monday. Whatever the case may be it is absolutely dead in here. Niv is not even his usual arm waving self.

Contract Lesson For The Day II

Promising to keep my pants on as a bargaining chip is an effective negotiating technique.

I'd Like To Rule 26 This Case If Ya Know What I Mean. And If You Do Know What I Mean, Please Tell Me Because I Have No Clue.

From CNN:

MIDDLETOWN, Connecticut (AP) -- A woman charged with causing a fatal car crash in 1999 says that she couldn't have been behind the wheel because she was performing a sex act on the driver at the time.

Ah yes, the ol' "It was my amazing blow job that killed him" defense. I wonder if a court demonstration will be in order.

Heather Specyalski, 33, was charged with second-degree manslaughter in the crash that killed businessman Neil Esposito. Prosecutors allege that she was driving Esposito's Mercedes-Benz convertible when it veered off the road and hit several trees.

But Specyalski claims that Esposito was driving, and she was performing oral sex on him at the time, said her attorney, Jeremiah Donovan. He noted that Esposito's pants were down when he was thrown from the car.

Superior Court Judge Robert L. Holzberg ruled Tuesday that Specyalski can proceed with the defense, despite objections by the prosecutor.

"A defendant has a right to offer a defense no matter how outlandish, silly or unbelievable one might think it will be," Holzberg said. He added: "No one ever told me in law school that we'd be having these kinds of conversations in open court."

The State's response?

Assistant State's Attorney Maureen Platt said the defense is flawed.

"His pants could have been down because he was mooning a car he was drag racing," Platt said. "His pants could have been down because he was urinating out of a window. His pants could have been down because he wasn't feeling well."

Hmmm.... A 33 year old man trying to impress his date by peeing out the window or mooning a would be racer. It's a winning argument.

Keep the following in mind when thinking about the reading assignment for Civ. Pro.'s class 14.

Also Tuesday, Holzberg denied Donovan's motion to use gender as grounds to eliminate jurors. Donovan had argued that women would be biased and more likely to convict.

Women are so catty.

Good News

Annie will have less opportunity to annoy me.

Duh II

From Ananova:

A German psychologist has concluded long-term relationships and good sex are "an impossible combination."

Dr Michael Mary says following years of research as a sex therapist in Berlin he has found trying to continue having satisfying sex in an exclusive relationship is futile.

His recipe for getting boring love life going again is to cheat on your partner.

He said: "It is impossible to get everything together. To have trust and harmony and at the same time the level of passion and desire one experiences on the first day simply doesn't exist."

Dr Mary, who has recently published a book called "Five Lies Concerning Love", also warned that putting a lot of effort into working towards creating a fulfilled sex life in long-term relationships was for nothing.

He stated: "It is better to accept living with the discrepancy between sexual desire and long-term love."

Hell, I'd settle for a bad one night stand.

Law School Memory #25: Woodranch II

Forget Stummy's version of that night. Here's what really happened:

After much harassment cajoling from Stummy and Sty I was coerced decided to go to Woodranch to hang out with other 1Ls from Southwestern. I arrive about an hour and a half before Stummy and Sty do. Go figure. Anyway, I drank two beers that night. I shouted discussed my dislike of certain section A people with certain section A people. I did not yell. I just made myself heard. I made arrangements with Josh to slap Eillen's ass on Wednesday. We effectively challenged section C to a game of softball. We started the trash talking early. I asked Liz whether or not I grabbed her ass at Hollywood Athletic Club. She lied by saying yes. As she walked by me to say hi to Bunny, I decided to slap her ass. She later told me that I have yet to grab her ass. I'm taking that as an invitation.

That was Woodranch II. Not much to it really. And actually, not all different from Stummy's version.

Law School Reflection #1: Very Fortunate

I was reminiscing with Annie about those first few days in school and I was left wondering. What if I hadn't gone to APALSA's Pre-Fall Picnic? I entertained the thought of not driving out to the park. What if Bunny hadn't gone up to Annie to talk about her laptop? She didn't have to. What if I decided not to have joined Annie's study group? It was the first day of class and only crazy people form study groups on that day.

So much decided on those first few days on so few decisions.

Quick Thought

Law school and finding love don't go together so well.

Ouch

Today, Macy hit me with her Contracts casebook, Annie repeatedly hit me during lunch and Daphne got in a couple of hits just befofe Crim. Pro.

Second Semester Blues?

Or just the moot court blahs? Hopefully it's only the latter and everything will be ok two weeks from now.

Right now I'm behind in everything and not all that motivated to catch up when I should be working to get ahead so I can have time to finish and polish up the appellate brief and prepare for this weekend's round of oral argument. Blah.

Odd Sight Of The Day

Just saw Prof. Civ. Pro. II walk into the library wearing a dark conservative suit with a blue shirt and tie.

UPDATE: He just walked out and yes, my eyes didn't deceive me the first time. The guy looks normal, almost professorial.

Last Thought For The Day

Thinking back on our conversation today at IHOP, I'm left wondering why Annie had so much trouble over at the Brass Monkey that one night.

It's Not Just Me

But actual lawyers write badly too. This comes from a footnote in a judicial opinion quoted here:

To the extent BAM has successfully persuaded me of the fundamental soundness of its position, that success should not be attributed, in any degree, to its counsel's unrestrained and unnecessary use of the bold, underline, and "all caps" functions of word processing or his repeated use of exclamation marks to emphasize points in his briefs.... While I appreciate a zealous advocate as much as anyone, such techniques, which really amount to a written form of shouting, are simply inappropriate in an appellate brief. It is counterproductive for counsel to litter his brief with burdensome material such as "WRONG! WRONG ANALYSIS! WRONG RESULT! WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!"

So there's your legal writing tip of the week. Don't write, "WRONG! WRONG ANALYSIS! WRONG RESULT! WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!" as an argument.

I should probably edit out of my appellate brief, "Because I say so. And I'm RIGHT! RIGHT! RIGHT! ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!"

Now to beat Brian and Bunny to the punch.

Yeah you are! Just try not to choke on that piece of meat or fish or whatever.

Maybe it's a good thing, knowing her law school friends, that non-members can't post comments on her site.

Stummy's girl, Angelina Jolie, was just on and couldn't help but think, "That's why people shouldn't get tattoos."

Yeah, She's Getting Drunk

Just heard Catherine Zeta-Jones say she's not pregnant this time around so she's going to be able to enjoy herself more at this year's Oscars.

Just hope she doesn't slap anyone's ass... wait... that's me but anyway....

Part I of an epic. A must see for anyone with Nester on their laptop.

Clearing The Record

So Stummy writes, "drunken nameless person slapping her ass". Two things, first, I was not drunk. I had two beers and drove myself home safely. Second, I was that nameless person. I have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

I've Got Competition Now

Stummy has her own weblog over here. It's much girlier than mine but not by much. Only complaint is that you have to be a member to leave comments.

To My Two Loyal Readers Out There - Posting Will Be Light

Catching up on all the reading that was put off because of the appellate brief. Also, I have to prepare for a practice oral argument on Thursday. Then I have to refine the appellate brief for final draft form that is due in less than two weeks. After that I'll probably be trying to catch up on reading again. So don't expect much for at least the next two weeks.

Pushing The Boundaries Of Pass/Fail

The appellate brief rough draft due in Legal Writing today had a 28 page max. The Points and Authorities, which was due two weeks ago and is the basis of the appellate brief had a 20 page max. My partner and I are turning in 18 pages of crap today. We're only two weeks behind with two weeks to catch up. Now let us pray that I this rough draft passes.

Who Knew?

But there is a diamond larger than the one to be found on Bunny's finger.

The statistics on Lucy [name of the diamond] are impressive - it is estimated to be 10 billion trillion trillion carats.

By comparison, those here on Earth are mere baubles.

The biggest ever found here was a very modest 3,100 carats.

Lucy, meanwhile, is 1,500 kilometres from end to end or an awful lot of engagement rings, necklaces and earrings.

It's just really far away.

Too Funny To Be True

From Phoenix New Times

Have you heard the one about the brown-skinned kid who showed up at the Nazi rally wearing a "WHITE POWER" tee shirt?

This was no joke at Aryanfest 2004, an "international" gathering of Nazi skinheads, Ku Klux Klan members and other white supremacists that took place inside McDowell Regional Mountain Park just north of Fountain Hills a couple of weekends ago.

Aryanfest's gates opened at noon, and about an hour later, the gathering assemblage gradually hushed as all eyes turned upon the young man who had just paid his entrance fee and was casually perusing the hate-rock compact discs, swastika flags and white power watch caps at Panzerfaust Records' merchandise booth.

He was in his late teens or early 20s, had a shaved head and sported Nazi and white power tattoos on both arms, in addition to wearing the white tee shirt with bold, black script.

He would have fit in just fine, except for one thing: He wasn't white. Not even close. There was at least half a cup of Kahlúa in his cream.

Seemingly oblivious to the increasingly hostile stares and menacing murmurs generated by his mere presence, this poor fellow, who seemed on the verge of getting lynched from the nearest sturdy saguaro cactus, was accompanied by three white kids who looked as if their primary aspiration in life was to load amplifiers for Marilyn Manson. They were outfitted in gothic black. Two had long, dirty blond hair, the other an unruly dark brown mop that danced wildly in the cold wind.

About five minutes after arriving, the group of four was approached by a cadre of skinhead security guards. These storm troopers were painfully polite as they informed the brown kid he wasn't welcome. "We're sorry, but we've been asked by the managers of this event to tell you that you have to leave. We're going to escort you out," said one.

"Why?" asked the kid.

The skinheads looked at him incredulously, and not without a degree of sympathy. It was obvious that he actually thought he belonged there, amongst white power kinfolk. "Well, you haven't broken any of the festival's rules," began another skinhead, employing the sort of "I hate to break it to you" tone of voice of a father explaining to his 5-year-old son why a bed sheet tied around his neck doesn't mean he can fly. "The thing is, you're not white."

Crestfallen, the kid stood silent for a few beats, then responded, "Okay, okay. I understand. I respect that. I just hope you know I didn't mean any disrespect by being here. I just wanted to come out and show my respect for the white race and support the cause."

"We respect that, and we appreciate your attitude, you not giving us any trouble," said a skinhead, gently guiding him toward the exit. "It's just we don't allow any non-whites here, and, you know, a judgment call was made and that call was that you're not white. We'll be happy to refund your money. Your friends can stay if they like, and if not, we'll give them their money back as well."

The four interlopers each retrieved their $30 cover charge, then made hastily for their car. Watching them go, celebrity racist Tom Metzger cackled and said, loudly but to no one in particular, "Well, what in the hell do you suppose that spic was thinking?"

Thank God I'm Not

Courtesy of Brian and Sean comes this funny clip.

Depending on the circumstances, there are times in law school when I feel like the one who wants to hit someone with a book and other times when I feel like getting hit by a book.

It's an old news story but I thought I'd post Brian's email on it to provide some historical context to my 1L experience.

Hello everybody,

So on this eve eve of a wonderful hallmark holiday, I stumbled upon this sad love story.

It appears that the saying “all relationships are temporary until marriage” is true after all. The people at Mattel have said Barbie and Ken have gone their separate ways. Have no fear they will remain friends and probably go through the inevitable on again off again, weird gray area all couples (or ex-couples) go through. So enjoy this story and have a great V-day and President’s Day.

Brian

P.S.

Who the hell writes a story about this and why would CNN.com use it. And who the hell writes an email about it?

Trust But Verify

Our Property professor had missed her last two classes and people were wondering if she was going to show up for our next morning class. So I made a trip to the externship office - I don't know why but they're the office that handles such matters - and inquired whether or not Professor Property would be making it to class. After a phone call it became clear that she would not. Apparently a family member had recently passed away.

I then inform Bunny, Turtle, Stummy, Sty, Sean and Bill about it. But for some reason I wasn't to be believed so Turtle and Stummy go in to make their own inquiries to make sure I was telling the truth. Now a person of greater sensitivity may have been offended but I found it humorous and thought to myself, "Damn, these people know me a little too well."

Hardly Seems Fair

So Harvard gets a porn mag and we get stuck with a 2.3 mean GPA.

Cambridge Update

Found out today that they will be sending confirmation letters to 20 Southwestern students by the end of next week at the latest. As for those left on the waiting list, we won't know our fate until after the April 7 deadline. It's entirely possible that they will be taking more than the 20 that they had allotted for Southwestern students and it is very possible that not all of the 20 first selected will be going. Also, there hasn't been a lot of interest in the program from outside of Southwestern, but close to 40 students from Southwestern have already applied. On top of it all, there doesn't appear to be any sort of set criteria for acceptance into the program other than that one must have a GPA of at least 2.30.

It doesn't look good for me.

Can Bunny Come Out And Play?

Nope.

Due to injuries sustained in the President's Day Softball Game Bunny has been put on IR until June 5 +honeymoon.

Today

After a near sleepless night I was fortunate not to have been called on in class today. If I had been, who knows what I would have said. And though I did seem to fully understand what Professor Civ. Pro. and Professor Torts were trying to teach today, it could have been that I was merely delirious.

Must get some sleep tonight.

I'm a CTOL

Which are you?

President's Day Softball Game

As predicted; someone, somehow, someway fell to the ground and it was funny. It wasn't only once either nor was it twice but three times that someone hit the ground. And it was the same person each time. So ladies and gents give up your applause to the well-deserving Bunny who managed to find all manners of eating the dirt.

The first time occurred when she did what looked like something of a feet first slide into first base but was probably more of a trip and slid than a purposed slide. The second time happened when she headed over to third base and tried to avoid Jay's tag. A gentle tap from Jay and Bunny was tumbling into third. Apparently not satisfied with the dirt from first and third base, she decided to get some home plate dirt by making a diving stop of a ball thrown home. She didn't get the out that time but, and more importantly, she collected more dirt on herself.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:
* The team led by Brian, Jay, Brannon, Beth, Trini, Armen, Shawn, Marc, and Philip defeated the team led by Brad, Dave, Doug, John, Joon, Macy, Annie, Bunny, and Bill by a score of 11-10.
* Beth kept her team's big inning alive by driving in two and later scoring a run. Not bad for a girl.
* I fouled off a lot of balls.
* Different rules for different genders.
* Macy made it to first base with Brian.

I know I failed to mention everyone and everything so anyone feel free to add in the comment's section.
