Day Two of Classes [John]

Today was no different than yesterday. My professors seem very nice and the classes they teach seem very interesting. Currently I am working on a multitude of case briefs for different aspects of the law. As Eugene said, anything is better than doing briefs. But I'm getting through it...at least the cases are interesting so far. For example, in Torts, we are developing the historical content of "actions involving intent" in regards to personal injury law. We literally went back into history (back to the King's Court in 1466) and see how precedent has been developed throughout the years on this matter.

In my Lawyering Skills class, we learned that on Thursday, we have our first attempt to oral arguments. The dispute is over a monument honoring Veterans of the Vietnam War. Hopefully, I will be assigned to the right side of this issue. More details to come after class Thursday!

Currently, I am two days ahead of schedule on my homework because as I said, I have an abundance of time during the day to sit in the library and finish my homework. I know this will definitely change, but I am going to take advantage of this free time while it lasts.
