How To Succeed in Law School was extremely helpful. I learned how to brief cases and accepted that Socratic method means that the teacher always wins (sort of like a Casino).
I’ll reread the book (and Getting to Maybe) in Minnesota. Both books make feel that I won’t be as blind-sided by the experience. I’m excited.
Oh, and Law School Discussion is hilarious. There was a post about whether blogging in law school is a good idea. Most people didn’t think so: the argument is that you’re likely to say something stupid and make people think you’re a douchebag.
There’s always a percentage of the class that hates the nicest person in the room. I am not suggesting that I’m that “nicest guy” – but I doubt blogging is going to make me a pariah or offend any future employers.
I’m sure there are plenty of other ways to do that – just not here.
No controversies on this blog.

June 23, 2008 at 3:47 amI look at blogging in a number of ways with one of the top reasons to do it in law school as a way to write. To write and express yourself as simply as possible. Besides, how many law students out there will actually hunt down and loyally read blogs by students at their school? The net is just too big.
