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…

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….
10 Law Classroom Annoyances
A list of things I have found annoying in class. I am only minimally annoyed by any one of these and I think they are funny 🙂 1. Somebody asks a question that is so long that neither me nor the person posing the question can remember what the beginning was. 2. I ask a…
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…
Seattle
Tomorrow I fly up to Seattle for a week of callback interviews, relaxation, fun, and some law reading. It should be fun to spend some time at home during the fall. It has been 5 years since I have been in Seattle between September and December! It will not be a hectic-free week as I…
This and that
A long day of classes started at 8 am this morning. Fortunately, they still had the free tea service going and I two-fisted some Numi Jasmine Green Tea that did the waking-up job. A firm graciously provided a fajita buffet lunch that was delicious. Let’s just say I had my fair share. After Trademark class…
Coal Mining
It’s set! Mark and I will be writing our research paper for the Lawyering for Social Change course on litigation associated with the environmental harms of coal mining. The practice of “mountaintop removal” of coal mines in the Appalachian mountains destroys landscapes, obliterates forests, and pollutes streams. The fight to protect the Appalachian Mountains is…
The Mansion in Marin
Today featured the first day of patents class (it’s on the quarter system). The reading was interesting and it sounds like it will continue to be so. This afternoon I ran the dish as part of 46+ minute run, with 21:30 gate to gate, and then worked the abs and biceps a little at Arrillaga….
