• "an excellent way to escape from the valley of despair -- an escape right into the abyss of despair."

  
  Letters in Bottles — Authority: 484
  An Althouse commenter homes in on the folly of the increasing number of young people trying to escape the economic downturn by going to law school.

• Eye Contact

  
  Law Ingenue — Authority: 120
  Last week in my favorite (not) administrative law class, I was called on to recite a case. Despite knowing the facts, the courts analysis, and reading from my notes, I stumbled through the case, painfully and laboriously, because the professor kept asking obtuse questions that no one but the professor could possibly ...

• 2L turkey

  
  Balancing Acts — Authority: 409
  There will be a turkey at my house on Thursday. I will stuff it, cook it, and eat it. But the holiday is being toned down. I have no desire to have a house full of people, no desire to put an entire day into preparing, another into partying, and a third into cleaning up. No time, no energy, and no desire. I have a one ...

• Constitutional View, Not Catholicism, Behind Scalia’s Opinions on Abortion

  
  Marquette University Law School Faculty Blog — Authority: 431
  As a Catholic whose views are in line with those of Pope Benedict XVI, US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia personally opposes abortion. But what explains his opinions in every abortion-related case that has come to the court since Scalia became a justice in 1986 is not his Catholicism but his “originalist” ...

• Stare Decisis - Great for Law, Bad For Teaching Methods

  
  Thinking on the Margin — Authority: 139
  Stare Decisis - "Maintain what has been decided and do not alter that which has been established" Why do so many law professors continue to use the Socratic method?
