I had a dream last night about petitioning.
I am at work and Jill walks in. Jill looks extremely tired and distraught. She plops her bag down and sits in the cubicle next to mine:
Jill: “Did you start petitioning yet?”
Me: “I pick my packet up tomorrow. How is it going?”
Jill: “I just finished reading all of the materials.”
Me: “How long did it take you?”
Jill: “Two days.”
Me: “Eek, how long is the petition?”
Jill: “964 pages.”
I woke up, walked the dog, and decided that if the petition was under 964 pages then it wouldn’t be that bad – and I was right – the petition is a third of that length…

I’ve got no interest in law review, but might try to get onto one of our topical journals which is more up my alley.
Good luck!
