This blog is a collection of what goes through the mind of a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a lawyer (not your lawyer), and a storyteller, all competing for attention in my head.
The golden rule applies here.

Law School With Children
Means reading up on professional responsibility in the dining room with Barney blaring in the living room.
Steve, I have three words for you: Bose Noise-Canceling Headphones. (Maybe that's four words--who cares?) They're expensive, but indispenable for getting through graduate work.
What I want to know is which is more boring -- professional ethics or Barney.
I went to law school with a delightful man who was also the most fundamental of fundamentalist Christians. Everyone in my year paid the $100 dollars for a one day professional responsibility seminar. He refused, saying the Bible was all he needed. He was the only one in the school's history to fail the professional responsibility exam. It just never occurred to him that legal professional responsiblity is a completely separate animal from Judeo-Christian ethics and morals!

Ahh yes, been there done that!
law in a Flash a' la Barney
Just change all the names in the cases to Barney, BJ or Baby Bop, use the songs as a memory aid.
