So close…

Just one more final (ugh, Admin) and one more paper to go (Info Privacy Law) and I will be done with 1L year. 

Seriously, it can’t come soon enough. Thursday (and freedom!), here I come!

You guys have a Bluebook exam to get onto Law Review? Harsh. At my school there’s just a writing competition after finals are over.

Yep, we have a Bluebook exam. I think it’s maybe because my law school doesn’t have real grades. We have a Bluebook exam first, and if you pass that with a certain score (I think it’s around 75% or so), then there’s a writing component after finals. I know it’ll be helpful in the long run to know my way around the Bluebook, but right now it just sucks to have to study it for the exam.

… as a matter of law, the house is haunted… . While I agree with Supreme Court that the real estate broker, as agent for the seller, is under no duty to disclose to a potential buyer the phantasmal reputation of the premises and that, in his pursuit of a legal remedy for fraudulent misrepresentation against the seller, plaintiff hasn’t a ghost of a chance, I am nevertheless moved by the spirit of equity to allow the buyer to seek rescission of the contract of sale and recovery of his downpayment. New York law fails to recognize any remedy for damages incurred as a result of the seller’s mere silence, applying instead the strict rule of caveat emptor. Therefore, the theoretical basis for granting relief, even under the extraordinary facts of this case, is elusive if not ephemeral… . From the perspective of a person in the position of plaintiff herein, a very practical problem arises with respect to the discovery of a paranormal phenomenon: ‘Who you gonna call?’ as the title song to the movie Ghostbusters asks.

You know the judge is making fun of you when…
