SBA

It is not okay to spoil Game of Thrones for the entire law school.

La Raza chapter blasts school over perceived slights at the annual SBA Awards. Do they have a point or is this just a waste of everyone's time?

There are some serious scandals in the world. Then there's really dumb stuff.

It's an A+ for effort for this student who shared his campaign video with the whole Internet.

Which law school did she attend, and how did she do it?

* A Charleston School of Law student leader was arrested for stalking. I’m not sure how else Charleston Law students are supposed to get jobs. [Fitsnews] * I think this is a very poor reading of the history of the Second Amendment that is making the rounds. Sure, having weapons really helped slaveholders, but that’s not “the reason” the Second Amendment was ratified. The founders had better reasons… reasons that have nothing at all to do with the time we live in, but that’s a different story. [Truthout] * By the way, you saw that Obama nominated a black lawyer for something, right? Since the Republicans in Congress are so concerned about Obama’s record on diverse appointments, I’m sure Todd Jones will be confirmed super quickly. [Daily Beast] * Should pet owners be allowed to recover for “sentimental value”? A Texas case might answer that question. I’m looking forward to the companion case in Arkansas where pet owners try to recover from loss of consortium. [Adjunct Law Prof Blog] * I’d be shocked if this Manti Te’o thing doesn’t end up with somebody suing someone for something. [New York Daily News] * There’s going to be a law and robots conference at Stanford in April. Because we all know how much robots love law. [The Volokh Conspiracy]

I predict this will be a year of extreme inebriation among law students, led by the new class of 2015. We've got our second story of drunkenness, and it's only the first week...

Finals week is stressful for everybody, and it leads to lots of screw-ups. But some law students and professors manage to rise above their mistakes…

Bleeding, barfing, and breaching contracts is no way to go through life...

We're coming towards the end of Party Law's reign (I assume we're nearing the end; not that I want that, I wish Party Law could be elected President of the NYU SBA for life). Perhaps he's trying to exercise a little dead-hand control over the SBA? Let's see who Party Law is trying to squash now...

Kenan Gay's lawyers start to tell a different story about the man Gay allegedly pushed into traffic.

Who won the election for Harvard Law's new Student Government President? Looks like the HLS community agreed with the ATL audience on this one....

The law student accused of murder claims that the alleged victim was harassing his girlfriend...

They say campus security starts in the admissions office, but no admissions committee can truly screen out all of the bad apples. The community at Charlotte School of Law (not to be confused with UNC-Charlotte) is in a state of shock. A current student there was charged with murder following a bar fight....

Last week, we covered an unsettling rash of lunch thefts at UCLA School of Law. The problem was sending hungry students into a tizzy. Now, like a way less deadly version of the Motaba virus, the outbreak has spread to Washburn University School of Law. Several tipsters have forwarded us an all-school email sent yesterday […]

With some of the truly horrible stuff going on in law these days — law students allegedly trying to kill each other, managing partners having affairs with their subordinates’ wives — it’s almost reassuring to know that people can still afford to get crazily worked up about good old-fashioned nothing. Some behaviors are the equivalent […]

You know what's never happened? A rational discussion about abortion rights that started because a Student Bar Association president sent an email. Luckily, the SBA email about a defaced abortion poster that we're about to show you is so over the top that it's more funny than annoying....

In case we haven't said this already, welcome back, law students. When you guys are gone over the summer, we have to report on real scandals and real issues. But now that you guys are back on campus, it's time to fire up the "dumb law student story" machine. NYU Law, you're up first....

Don't you wish that gunners would just disappear? Yesterday's Law Student of the Day has an idea that, if set into motion, will revolutionize and forever change the law school experience. What's his plan, and where does he go to law school?
