A Beacon of Change

There is nothing eminently funny or entertaining about law school; anyone who has spent time wondering if their em dash looks italicized knows this. Thankfully, that doesn’t stop the Administration and Faculty from trying.

For example:

Today we had four hours of CrimPro. Besides the “Miranda Dance” and the phrase “attenuation of taint,” (hehehe . . . taint) there is nothing inherently amusing about four hours of CrimPro. Someone realized this and our efforts were rewarded with pizza.

On a larger scale, in an attempt to personify the phrase, “We Serve You,” tonight, some of the professors and Deans will put on chefs’ hats and serve the students breakfast for dinner from the hours of 10 - 12.

A few months back, many complained that the second and third floors put themselves before the first. It appears someone listened. Free food with the added personal touch is certainly a step in the right direction.

Tonight when I’m studying, I may not be able to laugh about covenants of seisen or an ejusdem generis but I will probably laugh about attenuation of taint (gets me every time) and the Dean will be wearing a funny hat; in the big scheme of things, that’s all that really matters.

If you’re looking for comedy and it isn't too late, turn on channel 26 where you'll find Baylor v. Kansas in basketball. I just received an IM that reads:

“Baylor Mens Basketball looks like a bunch of midget autistic children trying to compete in team rhythmic gymnastics. They are 1 for 16 shooting and have scored 3 points in 11 minutes.”
