“Law Revue… no V-U-E… Like the singing & dancing thing… Not the smart people thing.”

Note drafting and citechecking are making me bleary-eyed, so it’s time for a self-interested update.

I’m doing Law Revue this year! (See post title for clarification; must more of a spoken word problem, but still.)

The idea of a hoard of future lawyers performing choreographed musical numbers has the potential to be funny in both intentional and unintentional ways, and I’m okay with that. In fact, I’m pretty excited. (Also, we’re doing a few sketches I wrote! [which I’m saying inside parenthesis to show my humility and excitement, not to be mistaken with braggery {Not a word}])

So Lawblrs: Do your schools do Law Revue type things? I feel like they’re sort of ubiquitous, based on brief YouTube searches. If so, are you part of it? (Either I’m really curious, or really intent on distracting myself. Either way, answer me!)

That sounds AWESOME.  You are so brave @_@

My school does do some kind of play, I don’t know what it is exactly, but I do look forward to seeing it!

You will not read a more exciting document today than the MegaUpload indictment. This thing has it all, to the point where it refers to the company as “Mega Conspiracy” on numerous occasions. No matter how you feel about MegaUpload — yeah, a lot of copyrighted material passed through it, but the mixtape subculture, for example, may struggle without it, and Swizz Beatz needs to find a new sixth job — this is seriously riveting stuff. They will someday make a movie about Kim Dotcom, and it might be a more exciting film than the Julian Assange movie.

Just some light reading for you guys

Final exam superstition #3: When writing things over and over, must use red pen on yellow paper. Someone told me that using a red pen on yellow paper helps to commit the info to memory. I don’t know if it helps or not, but I do it anyway.
Other trade secrets: my study-buddy and I condense every class into a one page front-and-back skeleton outline. And there has to be a picture of Skeletor somewhere on there, with random quotes from class.
Also not as much of a superstition but maybe a trade secret: Sharpie Pens. How did anyone wrote anything before Sharpie Pens? I’ll never understand.
Also: we bind our outlines. It seriously makes it feel so much more legit. And what is law school if not a place to make people feel more legit than they really are. Buy this, bind your shit, make better grades. 


Must purchase yellow paper…

Legal haikus c/o my brilliant schoolmates.
