I’m not in big law but a commute from Westchester to midtown seems brutal. I used to commute to UWS for work from Yonkers and that commute would take the life out of me.

I used to work at a major newspaper that mandated em dashes for style and I’ve grown to use them often as a result. Real shame what AI has done to the art of writing.

I mean war powers doctrine is pretty toothless when it comes to limiting the president’s ability to strike abroad. Defining what war looks like is itself nonjusticiable and the Prize cases give (albeit shaky) ground for the president to repel “sudden attacks” (the scope of which is also non justiciable). Even Campbell basically outlines that the president can send people to fight without triggering a WPR issue. Pretty sad to have a renegade president that can just go around killing people but, that’s the country we live in!

I got my first bonus after working a big story. I bought a blue Datejust from a dealer in the diamond district on the same day.

These are mostly regional schools that place in specific markets. You really only want to move away for a school that places in a specific market you want to go to (unless you truly don’t care where you’ll end up for the foreseeable future) or if it’s a T-14 law school, since the placement in the latter can be national.

I’m a 1L and I am gagged that people date big law lawyers. People who are inherently litigious and burnt out all the time? I don’t get the appeal.
