Week 3 Down

I've made it this far relatively unscathed. Then again its 1:30 in the morning on a Friday (I guess now its Saturday morning) drilling civil procedure. Its a very straight forward class. Its a series of rules that come into play at various points in a law suit's timeline. So long as you know when they are triggered you're good to go.

Although, the professor for the class is a bit unmerciful at times. If he thinks you didn't do the reading or brief a case he'll make sure you're embarrassed to the point of never making the error again.

Everything else is going swimmingly. I tend make friends a little slower than everyone else. I have no idea why. I guess its just shyness on some level. It seems like there is a constant element of networking that makes it difficult to tell if you're dealing with a person who is genuinely interested in what you have to say rather than what you have to offer. That said I've made a bunch of friends and I have a great time at all the social things the school does. I think the most fun I've had was after the final from the summer course. Right after everyone walked to The Local and just kind of hung out.

A random civil procedure side note: After looking up a bunch of rules I don't think there are any repercussions for a defense attorney to just use 12(b)(6), failure to make a claim upon which relief can be granted, no matter what. I don't see why attorneys don't just go for it no matter how bogus their reasoning is behind it. It can only help or leave you where you started.

I'll be back at it in the morning.

Goodnight!
