Fridays From The Frontline

Welcome to Fridays From the Frontline, Clear Admit’s little look-see into the lawfully lived lives of law students (and, perhaps one day, law school aspirants). This week, a number of students were finding themselves getting over the urge to complain about the law workload, and focusing on slightly happier topics, though this was not an entirely universal experience for bloggers.

3L ‘10 Kel linked to figures exploring how many hours law students study each day and asked readers how their study habits stacked up. 3L ‘10 (In)Sanity Gal was going to try to curb law school over-work complaints. Harvard ‘11 Cat posted a rejection letter that she found particularly entertaining while Yale ‘11 SB was making her own ‘no thanks’ communications. Minnesota ‘11 Jansen’s classmate gave him quite the table of authorities time saver. 2L Abbie threw a party where the legalese was kept to a minimum. 2L Bob ‘live blogged’ his constitutional law class, minute by minute,  until its early dismissal.

UT Austin ‘12 Mariel shared the three expressions one most often would find on her face having during class, and decided to run a marathon. Columbia ‘12 Soleil found the vocabulary used in student evaluation reviews entertaining, and a professor’s turn of phrase equally amusing.  1L Huma had a visit from her mother that was not without its ninja mind tricks, and had her first legal podcast posted on Social Media Law Student. Northwestern ‘12 Jeremy talked Torts, and why they are of particular interest to JD/MBA students. Miami ‘12 Goateed 1L attended an optional lecture due to the dynamic nature of his professor. NYU ‘12 Reckless wondered what came first, the hipster ‘look’ or the hipster body type. 1L Molly celebrated her birthday with Torts and decided it was best not to discuss exams after having taken them. 1L Law School Ninja found herself in a class quagmire.

And that concludes our totally terrific trek through the law school blogosphere for the week. We hope you come back next week to learn more about the law student experience, and continue to encourage those of you out there blogging to let us know if you’d like to be included in Fridays From the Frontline … it’s as simple as sending an email with your link to bob@clearadmit.com. Until next week, have a great Halloween!
