| Summer!!! |
Oh, I haven't posted in so long!! I honestly didn't think anyone was reading, so the blog's position on my priority list was super-low. Then I got comments!! My first! I feel honored.
I'm interning this summer with a Family Law Judge. I am in my 4th week. I'm walking a tight-rope b/t satisfaction with the position and dissatisfaction. It is not a writing job ... my judge is the King of Practicality ... research is for losers, as far as he's concerned. He pushes settlement agreements like the next Crack Cocaine, and caselaw be damned!!
I also feel old. Again. I am interning with another rising 2L, and he is 10 years younger than me, graduated high school and college a clean 10 years after me, and has made it very clear on many ocassions that I don't "get" certain things b/c I'm "so old." For example: I don't understand why it was clear that the 3 hockey players who had oral sex with the same girl within like 10 minutes were not given jail time was b/c it was NORMAL for one girl (15 years old) to perform oral sex upon 3 men in quick succession. If I weren't so "out of touch" I would know that this CLEARLY is not a criminal matter.
I am not going to believe him. because my daughters ... they're 7 and 8. And I don't want them to be giving multiple blow jobs in 7 or 8 years. Call me crazy ... but I think that's gross, and really, kind of slutty.
I miss being in school. Really, I do. I miss the intellectual stimulation, and I'm not finding work to give me that. And I'm just as broke, thanks to the judicial clerkship, which is free. And while I came to law school thinking family law was for me, i'm not so sure anymore. But yet, the school I chose was partly b/c I thought ... "family law is for me." So the things which have piqued my interest ... I probably can't do from this law school. (i.e., constitutional law; appellate work).
Woe? Is that what I am saying? Woe is me? I am not sure. |

One of my favorite generation moments was when a classmate referred to 80's music as "oldies". Another was when my locker-mate heard how old I was (30s) and exclaimed loudly, "you don't look that old!".
Ahhhhh. Law School.
