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 [...]

Hey World

Sunday, November 21st, 2010

Before people think I’ve completely given up on blogging, a brief update. As you can guess from the lack of blogs lately, this semester has been kicking my ass. The big thing was the Trial Advocacy competition. We met four nights a week for about 2 months and made the semi-finals of our regional competition. [...]

I can too say “no” to things

Sunday, September 19th, 2010

What I don’t understand is how I’m still getting over 200 hits per day when I’ve practically abandoned my blog this month. Anyway, yadda yadda busy blah blah lame excuse blah. Last weekend was our school’s intraschool trial advocacy competition. Since I made the team over the summer, I was only competing for placement on [...]

Fun in the Sun

Monday, August 30th, 2010

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 [...]

Didn’t there used to be a blog here?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

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 [...]

Don’t bring around a cloud to…

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

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. [...]

How’s life?

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

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 [...]

I’m Like Tinkerbell… I Need Applause to Live

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

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. [...]
