My usual class-free Friday was not to be this week. A make-up class for Lawyering for Social Change featured a field trip to Communities for a Better Environment in Oakland with a 7:30 am wake-up. It was interesting to hear about the work they do and I enjoyed the trip. After the drive back to…

A Busy One
Wednesday is usually packed and today was no different with class and preparing for class from 10 am till 7:30 pm. I am definitely a little sick, but I am feeling ok. Therefore, I was able to hit up Arrillaga gym for a little shoulder weights and cable cross-overs (my favorite, if you didn’t know)….
Foothills Trail Run
Today I went on a sweet run at Foothills Park with a law school friend. It was awesome! I am happy I finally got to see some of the cool trails in the area. We ran up the hills I look at while running the Dish. These hills are much bigger than the Dish and…
Routine Monday
Today was a normal Monday with the usual class and reading. I have just started writing my research paper on the mountaintop coal mining cases (mainly from the interviews conducted so far) and it has been interesting. In addition, we’ve got two more potential interviews to do for the project. Hopefully we will interview an…
Payoff Run
Today I had the pleasure of having a great run – a payoff run. The weather was perfect on this crisp autumn day, complete with beautiful clear skies and a light breeze. I did the Oak Creek run, putting in 48 minutes of running. It’s not that I necessarily blasted it, I just felt really…
Summer Job
I know, it’s not even November, but yesterday I got a summer associate offer from a great firm and I am excited for the experience. I interviewed a lot in Seattle and in the Silicon Valley area, but I realized that the best place for the type of work that is of most interest to…
Time Flies!
Time flies! It feels like I just finished last week and now this week of classes is finished. I guess it’s a factor of my overall business. It’s just like undergrad in that every semester feels like it goes by faster. There is basically a little over a month left of classes and then finals….
Still Busy
Tomorrow will be another busy day to round out the week of classes. Between class from 8 am to 3:45 pm, I’ve got an interview with the leader of the legal movement to stop mountaintop coal mining in the Appalachians. This is for a research paper and the issue is very interesting so the interview…
Alpine Club Slideshow
Yesterday I gave a slideshow for the Stanford Alpine Club. The show included 400 of my photos from climbs in the Cascade Mountains last summer (primarily North Cascades National Park). I talked about fast and light climbing along with the impact of climate change on the mountains. I think the people who came enjoyed it….
Cali Coast
View of Lover’s Point, Pacific Grove, CA (Photo by Jim Finney) I just got back from an awesome weekend at my sister’s new residence in Monterey, CA. It was a fun time and I enjoyed touring the sights of Monterey and neighboring town, Pacific Grove. The weather was beautiful with just enough marine influence to…
