Deep breath! Mid-term examinations are in a couple of days. Three hours of essay writing. One on Criminal Law, one on Contract Law, and one on Torts. The study of law has already really shaped my perception on daily life. I anticipated having an additional perspective on things, but, I did not expect that I… Read More

Duty has been a challenge this week. The Duty to Act, Duty Owed to Business Invitees, Land Possessor Duty to Those Outside the Land, and Duty to Rescue. Generally speaking, it seems we are less vulnerable that I would naturally assume. It is interesting that in America, we value the individuality more than the collective.

There is not much to tell today. Spring fever has arrived and I am really not into my studies. I’m at a good place with the regular course work, but I am behind with my practice essay work. Wanderlust is the culprit for certain.

It has been a really rainy weekend. One of the really nice things I see is the emergence of spring. Things are beginning to green and critters are pairing up. My progress report has me comfortably in the middle of my class which with everything that I have to attend to in this life, I’m… Read More

It has been a busy week academically and vocationally. One quiz passed in Contract Law and one essay assignment in Criminal Law. I continue to add cyber related legal content to the http://lazarusalliance.com/horsewiki/index.php/Law Technology Law segment of the HORSE Wiki. Even though I am keeping up, I need to spend just an hour or two more… Read More

Well it is the middle of my first year today. I lost my buffer during the last two weeks largely due to work related duties that encroached significantly upon my personal time. “Shift Happens” for certain. I have five days off to catch up across the board. More to come next weekend.

It has certainly been a challenging week across the board. Maybe it’s spring fever, wanderlust, or just the need to take a mental break. I’ve probably lost my comfortable buffer over the past few days as I find every excuse I can to procrastinate this week. Nevertheless, this week I must get back into the… Read More

It is exciting to approach mid-terms not because I am a conflict junkie, but more that I am alive, kicking, and nearly half the way through my first year of law school. I do believe that the present course is exactly what the doctor or law doctor ordered.

All is well this week much to my delight and satisfaction. I have my study buffer back. I scored really well on the contract law quiz I took this week. I anticipate with persistence, this trend will continue.

The December holiday season is over! January is here and everyone is back to work. The kids are back to school. I did say kids are back to school for a reason. It seems that I spent a good portion of my two week holiday devoted to my academic endeavors. No rest for the weary… Read More

Hooray for second winds! A few days out of the office surrounded by the ones I would slay dragons for has rejuvinated my haggard self. I’ll need to pick up the pace I think and regain my study buffer. Louise bought me a complete “California BAR Exam Audio Review” on CD. This is a complete… Read More

Well vacations have started and this will give me a good opportunity to catch my breath. My objective is to regain my course buffer of a few days that I lost when my working schedule went bonkers. Individual procrastinators collectively transform themselves into corporate procrastinators. It is hard to avoid the wave of troglodytes storming… Read More

200 more weeks to go! Quite honestly, I’m really tired. I have essentially 3, maybe 4 days to work on a particular subject. So basically, I have 3 days to work on criminal law, 3 days to work on contract law, 3 days to work on torts, and 2 days to work on legal writing… Read More

What a week! The balancing act between family, my day job, and academics can be pretty tricky. I have found that holidays pose the biggest challenge to my finely tuned machine. I run a tight schedule in order to accomplish the things that are important to me. For that matter, I have plotted and planned… Read More

I pay attention to the percentage of first time Bar Exam passage. It seems to average about 62%. It certainly seems like a daunting task but one that I will apply my motto towards, “I will bludgeon my way to victory.”

It is almost Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday hands down. It has certainly been an interesting week both at home and work. I have gotten once again to a comfortable buffer ahead of my studies. Law school is a real exercise in minutia. One word makes the difference in the determination between which test question is… Read More

It has been an interesting ride so far. There have been many instances that in what I would consider to be normal conversation that is typical for me, technical, philosophical, strategic in nature, but a new element has been weaving itself into my thoughts, discussions, and analysis. This element is my new friend, law school.… Read More

Like any journey, every step brings us closer to the conclusion. All things advancing as planned, the 50 months to completion are down to 47. The biggest challenge this week is to remember the subtle thresholds that apply to a particular rule of law. I think I have a good sense for the big picture.… Read More
