Twenty-Something Law Student: August 2011
http://twentysomethinglaw.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 30, 2011. Synopsis of SMU Orientation. Before I go through and describe my two days at orientation, I wanted to share this beautiful work of art, drawn by a fellow 1L, that I feel very accurately describes everything we learned at the first day of orientation. Lastly, we have Dean Attanasio, the first (and absolutely most important) speaker, who mentioned - no fewer than seven times - the fact that SMU is comparable to, if not better than, Harvard. Monday, August 29, 2011. Let me tell you...

Twenty-Something Law Student: You down with OCI?
http://twentysomethinglaw.blogspot.com/2012/07/you-down-with-oci.html
Friday, July 27, 2012. You down with OCI? Yeah, you know. Because bitch please, if I get a screening interview, how can they resist this face? I'm making puppy-dog eyes, but you just can't see it. Trust me, it's irresistible). But if you're paranoid, you know, go for it. A call back is generally a half day interview at the firm itself, where they take you to lunch and take you around to meet and interview with several different partners and associates. It's a big time commitment, so they're given wit...

Twenty-Something Law Student: Post 1L Decompression
http://twentysomethinglaw.blogspot.com/2012/05/post-1l-decompression.html
Wednesday, May 9, 2012. All right, so 1L is done. For those of you 0Ls looking for some last-minute advice before you transition into law school life in August, I hope to write a few entries in the upcoming weeks about things I wish I had known before 1L that would have made my life a little easier in the last few months. A preemptory "you're welcome.". Also a preemptory "sorry I didn't write as much as I wanted to.". In a later post. I always thought it would be interesting to sit in on family court or ...

Twenty-Something Law Student: January 2012
http://twentysomethinglaw.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 19, 2012. I know, I know. All I can say in my defense is that the memo and finals were a lot more overwhelming than anyone not in law school can imagine, and that the last thing I wanted to do over my (very short) winter break was think about school. Sorry, my bad. But I'm back, and happy to answer questions about finals for 0Ls that are worried or curious. Seriously. I'll answer way more frequently than I'll post. But this is a post, and as such, let's get on with it, shall we? Ugh SID...

Twenty-Something Law Student: April 2014
http://twentysomethinglaw.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 1, 2014. Wowit's been a WHILE. So, it's been a LONG time since I updated this blog. But, I'm still getting questions every week, and I try to respond to all of them, so if you have any questions on a particular post, comment! I'll reply when I can! If there's any interest, I'd be happy to write a follow up post about my life at SMU and law school in general, but it will be a few weeks before I can get to it :) Ahhhh, the life of a law student/student attorney/editor-in-chief.

Twenty-Something Law Student: May 2011
http://twentysomethinglaw.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2011. I'm in a Glass Case of (Stress) Emotion! I know that it's been (gasp) almost a whole week since I've updated here. There's a good reason for that, I promise you: I've been sooooo insanely busy with everything in my life that I literally haven't had a half hour to myself that didn't have something to be done in. I guess I'd better get used to the feeling before next year, right? My head's going to explode one of these days. Wednesday, May 25, 2011. My original plan was to pack my ca...

Twenty-Something Law Student: April 2011
http://twentysomethinglaw.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 29, 2011. Now, For Something NOT Law Related. I know that this is a blog all about my law school journey. And I normally wouldn't just post anything up here. But I have to say it. How beautiful was Kate Middleton's Dress at the Royal Wedding today? I'm not one of those people with Royal Wedding mania, I swear. I didn't stay up to watch it, and I don't have "William and Kate" tchotchkes on backorder from all of the different vendors selling t-shirts, mugs, coins, or even refrigerators. Well,...

Twenty-Something Law Student: March 2011
http://twentysomethinglaw.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 28, 2011. 0L Preparation: A Lawyer Walks Into a Bar. Law students, in general, tend to be high-strung overachievers with slightly neurotic tendencies. You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. And in a majority of cases, future law students are desparate to find a leg up on the competition, even before getting to the hallowed halls of their chosen institution. They try to prep for law school before ever setting foot in a classroom. A Lawyer Walks Into a Bar. Is a documentary film following 6 Cali...
