Bar Review Diaries: The End Is The Beginning
If you took the bar exam last month, you might be trying hard to forget the experience, or you might be flying far, far away on an exotic vacation. Maybe you are counting the days until results come out in November, or maybe you’re frantically searching for employment before those organ bill collectors start knocking. […] -

* Opponents of “three strikes” hope that the SCOTUS decision requiring California to reduce its prison population by 33,000 inmates will help them to repeal three strikes.

Law Library Misplaces Tortured Clown
I was explaining to new Above the Law helper Natasha Lydon how things work in the ATL, and I said: “Basically, from now until finals, we’ll be able to run a ‘stupid law student story’ every day. The kids are stressed, and it’s starting to show.” On cue, I received an email from a law […] -

The Best Law Schools -- For Dog Lovers
In the past week, we’ve learned about the best law schools for getting rich and the best law schools according to law firm hiring partners. So let’s do one more ranking: the best law schools for dog lovers. This ranking, as it turns out, looks a lot like the U.S. News law school rankings: there’s […] - Sponsored

Are Urine-Soaked Harvard Books Evidence of A Hate Crime?
I’m on record as being generally uncomfortable with hate crime designations. I’m not against hate crime laws across the board. You show me a guy with a demonstrable history of bigotry who then goes around beating people of some particular group, and I’m all for enhanced punishment. But in general I don’t think the state […] -

Duke Undergrads Expelled From Duke Law Library in Preparation for Finals
Last spring, Duke Law students had a fit because Duke undergrads were taking up valuable space in the law library. I admit, I enjoy having a little bit of fun with Duke Law students (haters gotta hate), but I’m with them on this one. Undergraduates have two or three libraries (or maybe more, I don’t […] -

Hot Models Get Busy in Brooklyn Law Library
The library at Brooklyn Law School is fast becoming the most sexual law library in America. Last week, the class of 2010 dedicated a plaque inside the library warning students, “It’s supposed to be hard.” This week, we’ve learned that the law library also plays host to some hard bodies. Apparently, Brooklyn Law allowed models […] -

Who Let the Dog Out? Not the Yale Law Library
Earlier this week, we reported on the Yale Law School library apparently allowing students to “check out” a stress-relieving dog named Monty, for 30-minute periods. This precious pet perk was not offered during my time at YLS (but we barely had a library for two years, due to extensive construction). Alas, the commenter who noted […] -

Yale Law School Going to the Dogs?
I routinely make fun of the U.S. News law school rankings for taking into account the size of a law school library when ranking law schools. We live in a world where you can get everything online. Well, not everything. Leave it to the perennial U.S. News darling, Yale Law School, to come up with […]
