Miami was great. I attended some really interesting discussions of LGBT legal issue, met some interesting (and sexy) people, got a tan/sunburn and had lots of fun at the 2010 Lavender Law conference. I can’t wait for next year’s conference in Hollywood. I’ve never been a drinks-by-the-pool or book-on-the-beach kinda guy. If I’m travelling for [...]

Okay, so it looks like I’ve fallen off the blogging wagon the last few weeks. I can’t really say I’ve been busy, quite the opposite. Anyway, so I finished out the summer internship at the beginning of the month. It was a really good experience and made me feel like I’ve finally found the right [...]

We had rain today, which kept us stuck at our desks through lunchtime today. Nice break from the heat, but still… So I’m working on this big project taking a look at state lobbying laws, and the more I work on it, the more I think this entire area of law is a fucking mess. [...]

Yesterday morning I fought Fordham’s registration system and came away mostly successful. I got 3 of my 4 first choices. The one alternate is the same course with a different teacher and time. Other than Monday, all my classes next fall will be late afternoon or evening. I’m taking Corporations, Employment Discrimination Law, Fundamental Lawyering [...]

More videos are up on the Follies channel, including the song I “wrote” and my big solo. Context: It kinda sucks to be a law student looking for a job right now. It used to be that law school was a one-way ticket to moneyville. Not any more. Too many law students, too few jobs. [...]

I know I promised months ago that I’d link to some video of our Fordham Follies performance when it was available. One of our directors has finally had some time to upload a few clips. Here are two that feature me, but you can check out more at the Fordham Follies YouTube Account. For context: [...]

Finished with finals until December. I still have next week’s writing competition, but it’s good to be done with this semester’s classes. According to the lawyerometer, I now know enough about the law to be dangerous and cause huge problems, but not enough to be useful to society. I think I’ll celebrate with a few [...]

As promised, the deets on my birthday are on facebook. Is it cool to say deets instead of details? Do I sound old? Is it true that you’re only as old as the last person you made out with? I feel like I’ve been on a bit of an emotional roller coaster this week. Had [...]

So yesterday’s adventure in hacking seems to be behind me now. Aside from some damage to my reputation and a handful of deleted emails, the hackers didn’t manage to do much measurable damage. Of course, the whole experience was frightening and upsetting. It appears that they managed to get into my yahoo account somehow (I [...]

It’s been an eventful few weeks. Since it rained on and off all day, I’m in a bit of a reflective mood. (Really, I’m just procrastinating and avoiding any more Torts reading). This is the last week of classes before finals begin. That doesn’t necessarily mean things have been slowing down. As soon as finals [...]
