Graduation and the Bar
Hello fellow readers,
I have been gone for a while and for that, I sincerely apologize. My life is completely and totally consumed with preparing for the Georgia bar! Mortgages, corporations, professional responsibility, contracts (and a host of other law subjects) now take up my entire world. While many of my colleagues likely wouldn't admit this, I have to say that two and a half weeks in, I kind of enjoy learning all that I have gained during law school. I really "feel" I know more than I think...we'll see though.
With that said, I received a friendly reminder that my blog fans wanted an update and I will do the best I can to continue to check in weekly, though one caveat - I'm not sure how good I'll be as July 29 and 30 inch closer.
Anyway, a few exciting things to share with you all:
First - Graduation was awesome! It was so nice to reconnect with classmates and spend a week enjoying graduation week events that were planned by an awesome committee of graduating 3Ls! Justice Breyer and Karl Klare (a professor at NUSL) gave really wonderful speeches and it was really amazing to have a Supreme Court Justice join us for the day. I also gave my graduation speech and I feel pretty good about it. It was a bit nerve wracking to follow Justice Breyer and a highly respected law professor, but I got through it. If you're at all interested, the video is posted here:

Second - I have accepted a contract position with Northeastern a month after I take the bar. I have some promising job leads in Georgia, but I must pass the bar to begin the formal hire processes. So, yes, I will be returning to Boston for three months to work at what is now called, my alma mater.
I hope that all of you who will be entering the NUSL class of 2011 are enjoying your summer and getting all the rest and relaxation that you can. The first few months of law school are exciting and exhausting, so if you want any advice for how you should be spending your time now, my personal advice is to R.E.S.T. That's just my $.02 though.
Anyway, that's all for now. I do hope that you continue to fare well!
