I'll have to carefully edit the signature line...


Things are popping here at the law shop. As my newest pro bono work, I'm writing an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in Kimbrough v. U.S., a case which involves my favorite subject, federal narcotics sentencing. As usual, I will be ably assisted by Dustin Benham up at Carrington Coleman. In addition, we have brought aboard BLS student Matt Acosta (pictured here) to help us out. As one of his first duties I had him sit in on a conference call this afternoon, and when that call went long, had him stand in for me while I went down to class.

The one danger with Matt is that he tends to sign everything, including class assignments, "Love, Matt." For example, check out his reading reflections for oral advocacy class. While I have always found this to be kind of a fun touch, we may end up editing that out of the brief.

Comments:
Hey, it's Chemerinskinski! Let's hope Acosta is as impressive as the guy who can give an 8 hour bar review lecture completely from memory without looking at a single sheet of paper, and predicting his timing down to the last minute!
 
Oh sad...Chemerinski is outski.
 
Now he's back? Stop messing with my mind! It is already very fragile.
 
Yeah, a few years ago I was invited to speak at Valparaiso law school, and immediately followed Chemerinski and he did, well, that. It was awesome. I then proceeded to start my part of the session by being so thrilled to get a wireless mic that I played air guitar. After much urging, they edited that out of the published version, 39 Valparaiso Univ. L. R. 755 (2005).

I think Chemerinski was pretty impressed by that performance.
 
Hmmmm... Osler... nationally important legal scholar, or adult version of "Donut?"
 
You stole my sidekick!
 
Have you ever had a day where you were like... just like someone was having a problem with you and it was all in their head? Like they are having some kind of an opera in their mind and you play a small part but you have no idea why or what or what you did but they are like crazy mad at you for like no reason and you are just like HUH????


Nah me either. But I know that I have neither the time nor the inclination to star in an opera in another person's head.

I am having a very confusing day. In the words of Spencer Tracy, I'm going to just try to know my lines and not bump into the furniture.
 
Tyd--

I'm not sure I followed that one. Are you imagining that someone is imagining that you have it out for them?
 
Tyd--
There is actually a name for that syndrome and it's called "operatic transference". For instance, Paris Hilton is currently wondering why everyone is crazy mad at her for no reason and she is just HUH? Also, many husbands experience this phenomena in relating with their spouses. Fortunately, I have never had this experience with Mrs. CL
 
Are any Razor readers planning on attending the REO Speedwagon concert at Hog Creek this weekend?
 
I can't go. I'm gonna be ridin' the storm out.
 
Noo but Spencer's babysitter called me at work today and just pretty much screamed into the phopne and told us to pick him up and he should not come back and it was nothing to do with him it was all MY fault. I was stunned and I asked her why and she told me for 25 minutes and I got off the phone and I still do not really get why. She loves Spencer... he loves going there.. it was something about lunch, and do we value her profession, and about 30 other things that made no sense. It was bizarre.

I would not send Spencer back there if she begged me to now,l if only because I think she may need some medication or some caring and sharing or a maybe a colonic... we will find a new babysitter its fine.. it will be fine but it was bizarre and weird.


I think it was Donut's fault.
 
REO Speedwagon? Is Journey on the bill as well?

No, my next concert experience will be the White Stripes, a band that's had a hit in the last 25 years.
