Absolutely wild that there are folks out there (on this site, even) that, in the midst of this otherworldly shit show we're all experiencing, are still trying to justify not voting for Kamala because she campaigned with Liz Cheney.

The guy on Tik-Tok who is live blogging his inability to get a job in the legal field just posted that he liked all of his law professors ... with an exception of 7.
Sir, that's more professors than the number of semesters in a regular law school education.
I have so many questions/concerns.

Civ Pro prof II is really turning out to be an impressively solid follow-up to original Civ Pro prof.
Did I *want* to read 65 pages from SCOTUS today?
Not really.
Is it kind of brilliant to have us read a case where SCOTUS interprets International Shoe before we read it ourselves?
YES.

Just attended a session on how to apply for the Bar exam.
The representative from the Bar Admissions office of the State Supreme Court told a story about how someone who took the July Bar is under investigation for 'continuing to bubble' after time was called.

Watching Judge Boyd tell the defendant in front of her that most people, including the attorneys in the court room, the court reporter, bailiffs, etc. have had a utility cut off at one point or another

Defendant out on bond for an aggravated assault charge

First fellow jurors identify and try to have removed a single hold out. Now the judge is going to question this individual.
...that's not how juries are supposed to work?
