Weekest Link

With flyback week now behind us, I hope each class has accomplished the goals it had set out in the beginning of the year. I certainly hope the 1Ls have now begun their outlines, grasping the subtleties of damages for breach of K, etc. At this point you should also be realizing just how useless the rainbow outlines really are, but of course, as a genuine obsessive compulsive law student you will not change. For some strange reason I'm still on the 1L school e-mail list, so I get the cryptic e-mails from the CDO about the impending doom that is summer employment, which of course conveniently coincides with finals. Be prepared to to learn MailMerge AND 12(b)(6). So the anxiety you felt building up all this week is just a tiny sample of what awaits you in the months to come.

The 2Ls have it a lot easier. They have less time than Nicolas Cage in "The Rock" to decide the rest of their lives. Judging by the record number of 3Ls who interviewed during OCIP this year, I'd say it's more than enough. Oh and don't forget who it is that actually runs every student group, journal, organization, cult, secret society, flock, etc., at Boalt while looking devilishly good in their sartorial splendor.

And finally 3Ls are are rumored to be working on a few construction projects personally developed by Dean Edley in an effort to boost the school's "percent employed" numbers for US News. Details are hard to come by, but one 3L murmured something about Skadden at least allowing bathroom breaks every odd day.
