Two weeks ago, my CivPro class went to Federal Court, and we were blown away by how bad one of the attorneys was that day...now I'm starting to think we may have been too quick to form that opinion. Maybe being unprepared in court is normal, and we 1Ls just don't know it yet...

My CivPro students challenged me today to draw the US states freehand from memory while they did a practice essay ahead of their midterm.
The results were... mixed, but overall I'm still pretty impressed!

Preliminary statement is good - starts with "yeah, judge, there's this and there's the Rule 11 because this guy is fifty pounds of batshit in a five-pound, spring-loaded can."
And - fun procedural note here for civpro geeks: Fed R Civ P 11(c)(2) specifies that a R11 motion MUST be filed separately.

But, it's good to know that there are enough lawyers on Bluesky that all I have to do to get a CivPro question answered is post the wrong procedure.

mood check on my classes this semester now that we're 3 weeks in
evidence: it's twisty and detail focused but in a fun way similar to civpro. i worry about not getting the foundations down early tho.
constitutional law: makes me the most cynical about my existence as an inevitable political entity.

My CivPro teacher used this in class numerous times first year. It was the class I did the best in mostly because it was relatable. And I get grits.

I’ll take “quotes I immediately recognize and can identify by case/source, even though I don’t use anything due process-y in my practice, because I was on call for Mullane in CivPro in 2015”
"At bottom, when 'notice is a person’s due, process which is a mere gesture is not due process. The means employed must be such as one desirous of actually informing the absentee might reasonably adopt to accomplish it.'”

Congratulations! And joining the chorus emphasizing "lazy" is the wrong word.
I didn't even know CivPro was about lawsuits until halfway through the 2nd semester. Tomorrow I'm arguing a Rule 12 Motion to Dismiss a frivolous complaint. It definitely gets easier with time and experience. Stay strong!
