    The $100 Fed Courts Class
    We had a "make up" class today for Fed Courts. We have not missed any classes, so it's a bit unclear what we were "making up" - apparently, the professor made a typo on the syllabus, and numbered two classes with the same number, which meant (to her) that we had to have a make up class, or else we'd run out of classes.

    On any other Friday, a make up class would not be a problem. I only have one class on Fridays, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. Then I typically go to the gym, and then try and get the next week's reading done until I need to pick up the girls from their after school program. But *today* - with the convergence of religious holidays, the girls had no school, and no after-school program.
    I had thought of dragging them to Administrative Law with me, and then just going home. They found that intriguing, since they want to know what law school is like (poor kids). But that was before I also had Fed Courts.

    My babysitter was fortunately free, so she came and played with the girls while I was in class. She arrived at 8, so that I could make my 8:30 class, and left at 2, since Fed Courts ended at 1:20. Total cost: $90.

    Damn!!!

      If you don't have it - get Chemerinsky's fed jurisdiction study aid. The bomb. :)

      a classmate recommended the same. I bought a Civ Pro horn book during first year, and i literally never cracked it open.

      During my last co-op, I used Chemerinsky on Constitutional Law, a *lot* and loved it. So if I'm feeling desperate near the end, I'll consider it.
