Update

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

  Another semester bites it. I turned in my last paper earlier today. Since I’m not travelling this year for the holiday, that means nothing but free time until next semester starts. Well, if you ignore the jury duty in January. And the script writing I need to do for Follies. And the fundraising for [...]

Where in the World is Jere?

Friday, November 4th, 2011

Hey, all. Let’s pretend I still keep a blog for a moment. Things have been going well this semester. September is a hazy memory. The Intraschool Competition for Trial Ad that I helped run went off without a hitch.   A few weeks ago, in mid-October, I got to compete in the St. John’s hosted [...]

Disaster!

Friday, August 26th, 2011

 No, I’m not talking about the rare east coast earthquake, which I experienced while laying in bed surfing the internet. Nor am I talking about the coming Hurricane Irene, which has the city in panic. My 3L year begins on Monday (maybe). Assuming the subways are working on Monday, it will be my last first [...]

More Follies Videos

Saturday, May 21st, 2011

Of course, as soon as I posted the blog about Follies, one of our directors got around to uploading a whole bunch of videos from the show. I’m only in a few of these (most of my numbers haven’t been uploaded yet), but I thought I’d share them all anyway. First up, the introduction of [...]

Trial Advocacy

Friday, May 20th, 2011

Not all my extracurricular activities involved writing things that needed to memorized and performing to an audience. But most of them did. I was selected to compete in another interschool competition with our school’s trial advocacy team this semester. The Brendan Moore Trial Advocacy Center helps students compete in mock trial competitions, learning skills such [...]

Fordham Follies

Friday, May 20th, 2011

My second major extracurricular activity of the semester was another year of Fordham Follies, the law revue parody produced annually to mock the absurd and entertaining parts of law school. This year was a lot of fun, and I got a lot of opportunities to take center stage. I was the stage manager for the [...]

The Vagina Monologues

Friday, May 20th, 2011

My first big project of the Spring Semester was co-directing The Vagina Monologues. It was the first time our law school produced the show and it was quite successful. We held a couple events leading up to the show including social nights, a sex ed trivia contest, and a panel on women and violence. Throughout [...]

How time flies…

Friday, May 20th, 2011

Well, first things first, since it only emphasizes how long it has been since I blogged… I’m still waiting to hear back on one grade, but the semester is over. I’ve got about two weeks of downtime before my summer position at the ACLU begins. What a semester it has been. I’m about to publish [...]

Half-man/Half-shark

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Just finished my final exams for this semester – now I’m off to do some drinking. So, wow, according to the Lawyerometer™, I’m half-way done. I’m on a flight home to Utah tomorrow. I’ll be there until the first week of January. I’m definitely ready for some time with my family. This might also mean some time [...]

It Gets Better

Monday, December 6th, 2010

As I watch the Prop 8 hearing in the 9th Circuit, and after reading about a study finding LGBT youth are likely to receive harsher and stricter punishment from school and legal authorities, I thought I’d share our Fordham OUTLaws “It Gets Better” video for Dan Savage’s It Gets Better Project. I shot the footage [...]
