Back Burner Blog

The problem with being in the pits of law school, as well as being a busy law clerk and single parent... there really isn't time for writing well thought out and properly researched articles. I have an outline for a post I would like to write entitled, "Originalism and the Age of Reason" but for now it is only an outline.

I also have a few thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision on DNA testing not being a constitutional right (DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR THE THIRD JUDICIAL DISTRICT et al. v. OSBORNE). This will also remain on the back burner until things calm down a little.

On a lighter note, grades and class rankings at the Santa Barbara College of Law were posted over the last weeks. I did better than I had expected. There is still quite a bit of speculation among the students as to who failed out and who is at the top of the class. There is also some misinformation and gossip floating around... No, there were no first year students that managed all A's.
