SLS LOL would like to announce its full endorsement of the "Free Coffee for Law Students" campaign.*
An excerpt from a 1L email discussion highlights one of the most compelling arguments voiced to date:
Why, with free coffee available from Coupa Cafe (at least for now) and 50 cent coffee available at the bookstore, is the best deal on coffee regularly available for students within the hallowed hall of SLS $1.55?
At Harvard (used here as a contrasted peer, clearly not as a superior example) a dean fought to get free coffee for all law students and was successful. That dean now sits on the US Supreme Court.
I am tired of seeing classmates run to get bookstore coffee between morning classes and worse, missing time spent together in the Law Lounge discussing brilliant legal things, because the economically prudent decision is to get coffee outside the law school.
If there is Justice to be found in law school (arguably no) then the coffee situation at SLS would be changed.
We, here at SLS LOL, Strongly Agree!
*The the Free Coffee campaign provides no direct benefit to the editorial board of SLS LOL who do not actually drink coffee (Go Diet Coke!). The SLS LOL endorsement is based solely on the recognition and commitment to defending the fundamental, unalienable Right to Caffeine that is granted to all law students by virtue of their station.
I love this line of reasoning. LOVE IT. But what about the non coffee drinkers? What about some hot cocoa here??
