I get asked the above question quite often. I’m graduating in May and so there are a series of questions I get asked by fellow attorneys and those who are familiar with the legal profession. First, I’m asked if I have a job yet. Now, that seems a bit prying but I guess people are [...]
Last week in my advanced legal research class we discussed the cost of the big legal research companies and whether there were viable alternatives out there. My first big revelation was how much Westlaw and LexisNexis actually cost. We were given some proprietary numbers for individual searches and it was STAGGERING how much it costs [...]
Back in the early days of The Pearl Cup in Dallas (you know, last year) it tended to be a nice, quiet place to study. As the Knox-Henderson area has continued to grow in popularity and variety of offerings, this coffee shop has grown in popularity as well. They were honored with D Magazine’s “Best [...]

Law school bloggers have one terrible trait. We ALL blog voraciously at the beginning of law school, the beginning of semesters, and the beginning of a new year. However, when finals start to come along, the blogging comes to a grinding halt. It’s really the nature of the beast. We’re so busy trying to remember [...]
Lately, many students in the blogosphere (especially the 1Ls) are hitting that wall, where they have to go back and reconsider why they’re in law school in the first place. I understand that moment, where I’ve been working so hard, I can’t even remember why I’m doing this and a few minutes of looking back [...]
Finals are always a special brand of fun. The 1Ls are in a state of total panic, the 2Ls and 3Ls are basically zombies and tensions are high. Even though I’m a typical law student in that I stress about school, I have a unique sense of humor during finals time and so I present [...]
