So you think you can go to law school?
I'm honestly not sure about this one yet. I mean, I've got an apartment in Cincinnati, accepted my offer of admission, and started to pack, but am I really ready? I leave in less than two weeks and I'm a little bit of a mess. I'm working full time now, and using what evenings I have to pack. What I am also doing, however, is exploring the world of law-related blogs (like the nerd that I am) and doing some research into some of the more digital support systems. Like every time I move to a new city, I agonize over whether or not I'll make friends, have study buddies, or have a good time, and really I need to slap myself sometimes... I can squeeze conversation out of a rock (I got that one from my mom), and really, who has time for that much fun? I need a night out every couple of weeks and maybe some fun downtime, like watching "So You Think You Can Dance" and my computer, and I'm pretty much set...So, on the topic of nerding out, I've started reading the ficticious case study "The Case of the Speluncean Explorers" from the Harvard Law Review, 1949. I found it here, and on my lunch break, managed to get through about 8 pages between eating and doing other non-work things (Facebook?).
The PowerPoint presentation version? 5 spelunkers get trapped by a landslide and are only in radio contact with the outside world. Basically, to keep from starving to death (which they knew would happen), before rescue crews arrive they kill one of their own and eat him, and upon their rescue and recovery they are charged with the fifth man's murder.
It is really interesting to read and presents a number of different legal perspective as to how to approach this case and whether or not the men are guilty (and the resulting punishment). Maybe I'll let you know my thoughts ... If I continue to blog regularly or not...
