I am starting to plan my wedding in earnest (OH MY GOD) and am feeling very overwhelmed. I keep vacillating between a hopeful "if I get a job and we buckle down, we might just be able to pull this thing off!" and "FUCK IT, COURTHOUSE TIME."

Does anyone have any great recommendations/resources for wedding planning? …

These aren't overtly feminist, but they also avoid a lot of the shitty "men do like this, whereas women do like this!" tropes from romantic comedies:

Oh my god, I'm so happy someone finally said this. I'm in law school and EVERYONE wants to go to NYC to practice after they graduate. They're baffled that I refuse to recruit over there. I would rather pull my own teeth out with a socket wrench than pay $3k/month for a bedbug-infested 1-bedroom with a view of the…

Came here to post this and you beat me to it. Well done.

I grew up on the West Coast and therefore thought I knew my way around a weed brownie. On one of my college 4/20s, some friends came by with two very tiny brownies they'd saved for me. I found out how much they'd used and determined that I could deal with both of the brownies at the same time.

WRONG!

Within an hour…

I got involved in a workplace romance (I'm no longer working there, since I left to go to grad school, but he still is). He proposed over Christmas. Ain't no thing.

That being said, if your job description requires you to work together, or your workplace has strict rules about fraternization, proceed with caution. …

The best night of my life was when Claudio came into Quenchers and I got to eat tater tot pizza and tamales in the same night. I miss him!

You know where this "science" comes from, Republicans? It comes from Nazi research. Yes, NAZI RESEARCH! You are basing your opinions and political stances on NAZI RESEARCH. Guhh.

I wondered about that too, but I live in a fairly low-density neighborhood with a lot of parks and lawns. I haven't even seen one, and we're already supposed to be on round two! I WAS PROMISED CICADAS, DAMMIT

Yeah, I'm in Philly and haven't seen a single one either.

Amazing.

For the most part, yes, although I think this is to our detriment.

It really, really depends on the situation. Judges are definitely problematic for the reasons you mention - they're one person, subject to their own biases, who can make decisions with enormous personal and economic (in civil trials) implications. On the other hand, I worked in a fairly obscure area of law before…

Your Honor, I realize it may seem somewhat unfair that your comments came to light, but we're not inviting you back.

FedSoc (short for Federalist Society) is a nationwide group of conservative and libertarian law students/lawyers with chapters on pretty much every US law school campus. Its progressive counterpart is ACS, the American Constitution Society.

Ours are always well-attended by students of all political persuasions because they have a (somewhat undeserved) reputation for having the best food. That was definitely why I was there, and probably at least another third of the audience as well.

At many of FedSoc's events speakers are invited who say pretty conservative things, so people mostly just rolled their eyes at each other, with a few mouthing "whaaaaat" or the like. The event actually kind of fell under the radar after a couple days. We just chalked it up to FedSoc being FedSoc. Our chapter boasts …

I am a Penn Law student and I was at this event. The other "best" part was when she said she thought the death penalty could be a positive thing for people because it allowed them to "make peace with God."

Me too! I got my (dearly beloved) Honda Civic.

I'm not a lawyer, but I am a law student and I've taken criminal procedure, which covers much of this. Presumably, the public safety exception would apply because of circumstances like the ones you're describing, and the police would want to find out if Tsarnaev or his brother were acting with any accomplices/groups…
