Law-Di-Daw

1L | Randomness of the year-of-hell that isn't quite as bad as the Egyptian revolution, but still pretty bad.

I may have found my favorite quote for my lawyer life while researching for my capstone lol

[lawdidaw]

Chief Justice Roberts once wrote: “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” 

[lawdidaw]

You know it is late when....

So 2L has started off so horribly, I didn't have time to remember this blog existed. Back now y'all

Chief Justice Humor

Roberts: "These cases require us to decide how the search incident to arrest doctrine applies to modern cell phones, which are now such a pervasive and insistent part of daily life that the proverbial visitor from Mars might conclude they were an important feature of human anatomy."

Well, when a bird took a crap on me this morning as I was walking to school for my oral argument, I knew today would be great... Legal Rhetoric is officially over.

"The supreme tragedy of life is the immolation of woman. With a heavy hand, nature exacts from her a high tax of blood and tears." Justice Stacy. State v. Wingler , 184 N.C. 747,115 S.E. 59 (1922).

Guy at law school: are you Muslim? Because it would be so cool if you were Muslim and your eyes are green…because green is a Muslim color… right?

Friend at school while reviewing material for class: "I don't think I would want to be known as the underwear bomber. Just imagine, smuggling bombs in your pants." 

[lawdidaw]

That pathetic moment when you submit your appellate brief and think to yourself: "Now I can have my life back to study for my other classes." 

[lawdidaw]

“The Constitution does not prohibit legislatures from enacting stupid laws.” (Justice Thurgood Marshall)

[lawdidaw]

Just take 'em, I don't want my sticks no more...

"Rulers come and go; governments end and forms of government change; but sovereignty survives. A political society cannot endure without a supreme will somewhere." Justice Sutherland

United States v. Curtiss-Wright Corp, 299 U.S, 304 (1936)

I OWN BLACKACRE x

[almostviolentlydelightful]

AWESOME. DOES THIS MEAN I CAN STOP TALKING ABOUT O?

[emmeetslawschool]

Yes. And I’m not selling or leaving Blackacre to anybody. The correct answer for all hypos is now “EM OWNS BLACKACRE”. All caps not necessary.

What happens 21 years from the day you die? 

[lawdidaw]

Criminal law professor asks: Should they be punished?

Student: *silence* no.

Professor: This seems like this is the question that always seems to get to you; as your heart is bleeding liberally all over your desk

Awkward moment when George Washington pays me a visit.

Law drunk is my new favorite term. I wish I could explain it better to my friends from undergrad. "Oh yeah you went out last night with your classmates fun!" No no I think we might have emptied out the bar. People who are basically fully-grown middle schoolers should not be allowed to drink. But if we weren't I don't think law students would be willing to continue. Drink some gateraid, ignore Scalia, get ready for next weekend.

I hope you don’t mind me posting this - it put a smile on my face. If nothing else, I think the final line is beautiful advice for all. Unfortunately, I must now go read a Scalia dissent.

[lawschoolruinedme]

Officially initiating ‘law drunk’ as a term for all the lawblrs 

[lawdidaw]

Law drunk... excellent. 

Regarding Scalia --> Anyone know what I am talking about here?
