Yay, Stanford Law School!

Stanford's dean Larry Kramer talks about revamping legal education here.  Of course, we happen to agree with him (see here).

We're siding with Lucy Kellaway on this issue.

In today's Financial Times, Lucy Kellaway points out that Steve Jobs was right (and impressively--and clearly--terse) in refusing to do a student's legwork for her homework.  See here. 

The best lesson that you can get from her column today is that your need to get some information may not correspond with your target's obligation to give it to you (absent, of course, a legitimate subpoena).  The second best lesson is that asking for information respectfully is more likely to help you than is demanding it based on a sense of entitlement.

Thank you, National Jurist!

Aspen will give you a taste of our book by posting one free chapter.

And we think that the chapter's a doozy--it's on how to prepare for exams.  See here for the link to Aspen1L.

Podcast that gives advice to 1Ls.

Here's a link with some helpful advice (here).  Of course, it's also a great plug for our book!

Dressing for success--in court or in interviews.

See here.  Remember, when you're dressing for an interview or for court, it's not about you.  It's about the comfort level of the people who will be judging you.

We started the day by reading Prof. Laura Appleman's review of our book over at The Faculty Lounge (here).   That is a GOOD way to start the day.
