The Speech
This is the text of my valedictory speech, offered on May 31, 2008, for the San Joaquin College of Law graduation. For, you know, posterity. Or something. I’ll try not to be too boring or take too long, even though … Continue reading

Bar review is frustrating. So far, after a couple weeks of pretty intense studying, I remain convinced that the only way to pass the bar is to work hard, learn the law, and practice. So what exactly are the bar … Continue reading
Star Wars + Bar Review = HyperNerd
The best part about this article is the picture at the top, in which George Lucas is seen wearing a “Han Shot First” t-shirt. Brilliant. (Also, “Han” is in the picture.) For those not in on the joke, it’s based on … Continue reading

In re Marriage Cases
Yesterday, the California Supreme Court struck down a statutory regime that gave same-sex couples essentially the same rights and duties as married couples, but called them “registered domestic partners” instead of “married couples.” This, the court said, violates the equal … Continue reading
Goodbye, Republicans
I’m glad Mike Huckabee didn’t make it past the primaries. Reports a New York Times blogger: When his speech to the National Rifle Association was interrupted by a loud noise from backstage, Mr. Huckabee quipped, “That was Barack Obama. He just tripped … Continue reading
