I am a Donut!

You Are a Caramel Crunch Donut

You're a complex creature, and you're guilty of complicating things for fun.
You've been known to sit around pondering the meaning of life...
Or at times, pondering the meaning of your doughnut.
To frost or not to frost? To fill or not to fill? These are your eternal questions.


Okay. I lied. One more post before settling into reality-TV-moot-oral-argument-induced hibernation. And how can you not love a "What Donut Are You?" quiz?

American Idolatry

No blogging for a while. I've been consumed by the madness that is American Idol. Between that and my moot (March 2!), I'm going to be taking a break from the real world for a while.

lessons in law

I was blindsided by my LSLAP client in my first ever settlement conference today.

Note to all potential claimants/plaintiffs/defendants/accused persons:

Your lawyer cannot represent you adequately if you are not completely honest with her. In fact, your lawyer will not represent you at all if you are not honest. I can't provide a full assessment of your case unless I know all the facts, and if you withhold facts from me, then I cannot fulfill my duty to you.

Meh. Looking like an idiot in front of a judge sucks.

At least I'm learning this now, instead of when I'm a 3 year call...
