John Yoo Saves Half the Library from the "Fire"

I was sitting in the library Atrium when the fire alarm went off and of course I dutifully shuffled into the exit stairwell with about 30 other students. We descended a flight to the marked exit only to find said exit locked.

So, we turned around and marched back up, bumping into other students who were coming down. Right as I was about to re-enter the library proper, John Yoo burst through the door saying, "No, come with me this way. I have the key."

And just like that John Yoo saved us all from our hypothetical fiery death. It was awesome.

Anyway, more thoughts on the alarms.

Check out this scenario:

1. You know campus police are all busy over at the protests.
2. You know there're millions of laptops and other valuable shit at the law school.
3. You set off the fire alarm, run in while everyone's outside, and steal shit.
4. The man who came up with this theory sees someone younger looking and not dressed like a law student poke his head into an IP class that has just resumed. Perhaps looking for valuables?

Sneaky.

Also, I'm gonna try and get some live blog action down at Wheeler later assuming the rain doesn't dissuade me.

Moran Leaves the Village

Leiter is reporting that our very own Prof. Moran is leaving for the new law school at UCI. She's a great scholar and a ummm quirky teacher. Clearly, she has an above average sense of humor and a quick-wit. At the same time, she still has the old-school, completely Socratic, closed-book finals mind-set. Shug better pick up the slack for the incoming 1Ls.

The Good, Bad, and Avoided At All Costs

It is that time again. Please route all discussion of teachers and classes for Spring '08 to this thread. Also a friendly reminder to try and limit using names of professors, so that they don't have to show up on a google search. Hilarious and rude nicknames OK.

For my part, don't take tax at 8:10 (AM). Ever.

Unclassy Classes

Open thread about classes and related issues for 1, 2, and 3Ls, per request.

-- Incoming Boalties: "So, like, do I have to like know everything about everything?"

-- Rising 2Ls: "CLR, CLR, CLR, CLR, CLR..."

-- Rising 3Ls: "We're all top 10%."

OK, this is not at all funny.

Fall 2007 Course Offerings

Per commenter request, discuss away. My thoughts:

1. There must be more classes coming.

2. Three years of waiting, graduation (hopefully), and now, now Choper teaches Constititonal Law. This will be the class to see.

3. I highly recommend Securities Regulation with Prof. Rose.

UPDATE: Invisible hand moving post up.
