Library Love

Librarians, setting up a media clip:


Librarian #1:
"Parker Posie...she's a librarian favorite."

Librarian #2, nodding vigorously:

"No, really, its true."

We'd Like to Thank the Academy...

During a lunch panel on a rather serious issue discussing celebrity endorsements of politic causes:


Hotshot, Rock Star Law Prof #1: 
Matt Damion?!?! I dont' even know who that is!!!


Hotshot, Rock Star Law Prof #2: 
Personally, I would have picked Justin Bieber.


Hotshot, Rock Star Law Prof #3: 
Never... Bieber can't even vote!


(Seriously? HSRSLP#1, if you unfamiliar with Jason Bourne, I may have to rethink taking your classes...just sayin'.)

H-Bomb Comfessions

Harvard Law 3L, while visiting for a legal conference:

"I go to Harvard, which means, I'm NOT cool. . . because if I was. . . well clearly, I would have gone here [to Stanford]."

RUUUUUUDDDDDY'S

Best. Caption. Ever.

"This is what I would imagine the world would look like to a baby Rhino, if it was born during a law school party. A collection of smiles, a couple alarmed faces, and me screaming my ass off."

Colloquial Douchebaggery

JD/PhD 2L on douchebags:

"I think the bluebook is the height of colloquial douchebaggery."

2L's re: Law Talk - 

Student 1: 

"I think DEMOCRACY may very well be the opiate of the masses."

Student 2: 

"Possibly....but what an opiate it is!"

Survival Skills

"Law school is stressful. Get a plant. It helps."

In-Class Indictments

Best of All Possible Worlds

Prof on the first day of class:


I've never actually practiced law, and if all goes well, I never will!

First Things First

2L, around 11am in the courtyard:


I'm going to study now so I can drink later.

Summer Enrichment

Overheard in a munger living room:


So, you know what I learned watching Jersey Shore this summer?

In Retrospect

2L, Reflecting on the Application Process

I considered using [an application coach] until I realized there aren't that many gay, black orphans scoring in the 99th percentile on their standardized test.

-DB

Simon would never argue for that...

The latest comes from one of SLSLOL's favorite rising 2Ls. While summering in NYC, he was working on a motion with terrible facts:

Advising Attorney: "You work with the facts you're given."


Summer Associate: "Well, the facts aren't supportive, but the motion is well formed."


Advising Attorney: "Its like American Idol, when the contestant is horrible and Paula Abdul says 'Well, you look great!'"

On Statutory Language

"Lawmakers are bozos...Funny how one comma can equal one day's work"

-Rising 2L Summer Associate, ruminating on a very busy (but not necessarily very productive) day saving the world from injustice.

Funny Ha Ha

In the library:

Student 1: Remember that case, "Toilet Goods"?

Student 2: Yeah...about ripeness?

Fashion Police

ConLaw study group conversation:


"There may be a compelling state interest in outlawing skinny jeans."

The Road Less Taken...

Gotta love the end-of-quarter advice from our profs like this gem from LRW. You never know what pressing social issues might strike your fancy at SLS:

Don’t feel restricted to the typical summer internships. Read the newspaper. You'll be surprised how often you'll say to yourself, "Geeze, I didn't realize albino kids in Africa are being kidnapped and their organs sold. Maybe I want to do that this summer."

Temperate Semperate

Prof: Alright, who's got a practical argument against review?

Student: Uh, I've got a more *temperate* argument....

Prof: You're the Justice Department! I don't want a temperate argument!

Legal Briefs

Overheard at SLS:


"I'm just saying, you could totally go to CafePress and design some underwear that said BOOK and that happened to be be both blue and spiral-bound."


*Submitted by JM, who knows a thing or two about stylin' undies 

Point, but not so much Power

Prof, during lecture:

"This is probably the most boring slide I will put up in this entire class..."
