When I work from home, a lot of my lawyering time is just me walking around, looking for my bourbon glass.

@earldean71 Yes?

Goosebumps.

For all its faults, Western Christian culture is still worth defending.

"So you have the game on the line?"

"Yes"

"You're already in FG range?"

"Yep"

"Your QB Carson Beck has thrown 3 picks already."

"Thats right."

"And you decide to let him pass with 30 seconds on the clock in the 4th?"

"Mhm"

@Parkerlawyer Have you ever flown out of Greenville, SC?! It is delightful.

One of the things that some law students sometimes think after getting their grades is that doing well or poorly suggests innate ability (or its absence) in particular fields. If you get an A in Torts and and a B- in Contracts, you might say, well, I should be a tort lawyer instead of a contracts lawyer—I'm better at that. Not all law students think these sort of thoughts, but my sense is that some do.

If that includes you, here's a thought-- read on.

That is not the way things work, in my experience. Grade variations among exams could reflect a lot of quirky differences. Variables such as how a professor happens to grade (there are lots of different ways); your luck or lack of it in the particular questions asked; if you had a good or a bad day; misreading a question; whether you happened to "get" that particular professor; possible variations in curves; etc.

Your grades overall do, I think, reflect a certain level of skill in articulating legal analysis on a timed exam. It's a certain skill. But I don't think that skill is subject-specific. So don't make career choices based on which of your particular classes led to higher grades or lower grades.

And for what it's worth, my lowest grade in law school was a grade I received in several classes. Among them: Criminal Law and Procedure, which I now teach.

Georgia finished 102nd nationally in rushing yards per game (21st in ‘23, 19th in ‘22).

85th nationally in yards per carry (11th in ‘23, 5th in ‘22).

29th in scoring offense (5th in ‘23, 4th in ‘22).

Had the most drops nationally.

There is a huge disconnect on offense. That really can’t be argued at this point.

You read that right. One.

Oh. And they cost taxpayers up to $175,000, each!

Fyi, this person is teaching at a CLE tomorrow at the @StateBarofGA.I spoke to the director of the Federal Defender's Office NDGA, and they refused to disinvite her, even though many long-time Jewish attendees objected. It was my favorite CLE. Now I can't stomach attending.#gapol

This was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on television. Conan's setup, the clip, and the reaction were all perfect.

I hate when people ask stupid questions, so in hindsight being a lawyer was a terrible career choice
