The original title I came up with for this blog seems a bit like the title of a song my high school beau’s band would have written. In my defense, it was conjured up in a Harvey Woodley-induced delirium. (Thank goodness for astute editors!)

Time Apart 

As I sit down to write this entry, it’s a rainy fall Saturday afternoon.  For law students, “Saturday afternoon,” almost certainly means we have probably already put in a few hours of work and are looking forward to spending time with friends or family this evening.  There are times when we are tempted not to do so--times when we think if only we could put in a few more hours of work this evening, we would be caught up.  Of course, when we give in to this thinking, we find that our relationships with others are damaged, and that for all of our hard work, there is always more to be done.  In simplest terms, we either remember or discover the importance of time apart from work.

Award presented to Prof. Corneill Stephens

Professor Corneill Stephens receives the coveted 1st Annual Best Professorial Facial Hair Award.  The Award was presented by Robert Bexley and Diane Kim of the Docket. 

Earlier today, those terrible 2Ls were at it again, terrorizing and traumatizing Prof. Stephens' contracts course, turning the classroom inside out with witches, skeletons, and spooky spiders!  Perennial favorite professor Stephens took the antics in stride, wholly ignoring the looming specter of doom (Ian Sansot) that lurked just over his shoulder, and began his class as if all were well and normal.  The students all enjoyed the surreal scene, especially when The Docket editors Robert Bexley and Diane Kim broke the tension and presented Stephens with his dubious Best Facial Hair Award, which resulted in multiple rounds of applause.  Curious 2 & 3Ls poked their heads in throughout the morning class to see what the hubbub was about, making sure to exit quickly, lest they get caught by Stephens' all-seeing eye and be forced to answer a question, like poor Courtney Spicer, 2L.Stephens and Death Continued: photo by Ali Makins

OMG! Backyards are so exciting! OMG!

Have I given you guys my nerd disclaimer yet? If you read my previous blog, you've probably already figured it out, but I'm going to be clear.  I am a big nerd, and not in that cool "I know more about the latest indie music and best brit punk" kind of way.
