Obiter Dicta...
I've been at Starbucks for about 5 hours now, my iced quad-venti vanilla latte is long gone and my empty stomach begging for attention. So this is what law school is all about.
I've finished the Civil Procedure reading for tomorrow, though having finished Buffalo Creek last week, it was fairly easy. The written assignment, finding the federal circuit and district court jurisdictions for various places around the country was easy but tedious. While I don't have a reason to assume I fucked the assignment up I've checked and rechecked every detail and am unreasonably anxious about it as it has to be handed in and will be Fullerton's first impression of our abilities. (Honestly though all that it could possible show is our deft Googling abilities, or lack thereby)
I've just finished the reading for Tuesday's Constitutional Law class and briefed (in my own rudimentary way) Marbury v. Madison. As an undergrad philosophy major I took a Hermeneutics and Deconstruction class and can say Heidegger's Being In Time and Derrida's Margins read like a John Grisham novel in relation to Supreme Court decisions in the early 1800's, or maybe I'm just partial to the ramblings of European men....
For interested parties, the New York Times Magazine, available yesterday to delivery subscribers like myself, or today for the plebian "per-issue" mob, featured an article on the future of the Supreme Court. Even if you're bogged down in class work take the time to give it a quick read though on the subway or toilet.......
Word of the Day: mandamus
Is it possible to use mandamus in a sentence having absolutely nothing related to law........having spent more time than I care to admit trying to I'm going to grab some food at the "greasy spoon" down the block........

One little tangential note here, Gryph.
Socrates would turn over in his amphora at what we call the Socratic method. Mostly because it lets the students talk for too long. If they said anything more than: "yes, Socrates" or "I do think that's what love means, Socrates", they weren't allowed to come to the next Symposium ;)
