Since you asked...

Here are some questions that have brought people to my blog lately.  Bonus:  I answer them!

do raptors know fear?

Velociraptors? No.  Source:  xkcd.


do you put that you amjured a class on resume?

Hell yeah!  I have a classmate who did a summary, like received the highest grade award in 12/14 classes because her bullet list got too long.  She listed a few examples if she thought it was good for particular firm (including Securities, Bankruptcy, and UCC).  She was wicked smaht.  The rest of us mortals have to make do with listing the 'amjurs' 'calis' 'academic achievement' (or whatever your school calls it) that we earn.  If multiple and you're short on space, you could say you earned 5 CALIs. Let them ask in the interview, I guess.


Does a lawyer look more professional with curly or straight hair?

I have wavy hair. I have a hard time making it look professional. Meh, sometimes I don't try. Sometimes I do. I therefore always see sleek shiny straight bobs as more professional.  I imagine if I were cursed with thin or limp or straight hair, I would see curly hair as more professional.  Take my opinion, straight, with that in mind.


How do butterfly fish get pregnant?

I think it was because I gave away some of Clownfish's baby clothes just weeks before I tested positive.  Bullshark has his own theory.


How do i survive studying for the bar?

Like you survived studying for every exam:  eat, sleep, study, and take breaks by googling random stuff that brings you to this blog.  Oh, and for f**k's sake, HYDRATE!


Should i write on to law review?

Short answer:  I say everyone who is given the chance should try. No sense in closing doors to clerkships unless you're really sure you don't want to do one.  Just did a whole post on this, actually. See here.  Note:  this advice differs by the tier of law school you're in -- my response might be different had I gone to, say, a top 20 school.  Then again, if I had, I wouldn't have to put things like gpa and class rank on my resume just to get it read.  (See post & comments here.)  So for the vast majority of law students, if given the chance, I say go for it.  All you have to lose is sanity and time.
