My loyal blog readers, This blog is about to go though a right of passage of all law blogs. The blog will turn into one giant whining/venting outlet for my bar exam stress. I’ve watched many a blog go through this change and few come out on the other side intact. Sure, blogs keep going [...]
I’m done with law school and all of my obligations associated with that. I feel totally weird. I’ve been in “law school” mode for so long that I’m in some sort of bad habit of thinking that I have a million things to do at all times. Admittedly, the bar exam still looms in the [...]
