Welcome back We are

Welcome back. We are already 4 weeks into the semester and I have yet to make a post to law-new-view, but I hope that the rest of the semester will be more productive than these first four weeks have been. I was in a post-holiday hangover for the week, and the second and third weeks were filled with enough personal drama to fill a T.V. sitcom about one’s first year of law school and not a semi-serious attempt at an intellectual evaluation of an educational process that this blog is supposed to be. The fourth week wasn’t much better either due to seasonal depression or the mounting work that is ahead of me, but I feel a bit of a resurgence coming on and as my personal life settles down and my mind wakes up, this should be a good semester.

I hope to make regular weekly postings and to maintain a bit of a structure for my ramblings. I will try and break up the posts into four segments and we will see how this works. First I will talk about the interesting case of the week, which will be a discussion of some case or topic that stood out in my mind as presenting a fascinating topic of law. Secondly, I will talk about the law at large. We could call it, At Lawge, and I will discuss either wider legal themes that I am interested in or hear about, like supreme court nominations, or where I imagine my law school career going: which at the moment feels like no where. Thirdly, will be a segment called the gossip column, where I will talk about those non-academic aspects of the law school experience either from the events of the hallways or of my life away from school. Finally, I will end with a quote from a famous judge, as was a habit that I began last semester.
