I’m in the thick of midterm examinations right now. Remedies was this afternoon, Evidence is on Wednesday evening, Wills & Trusts is on Friday evening, and Community Property is next Tuesday afternoon, so I’m pretty busy, at least mentally
I learned this afternoon that I, along with two of my most excellent classmates, have been chosen to represent SJCL at the Roger J. Traynor California Appellate Moot Court Competition this spring. When I arrived on campus this afternoon for the Remedies midterm, I checked my mailbox and discovered a 363 page document: the “record” upon which our fictional appeal will be based. Looks like fun. Almost like working on a real case. I am excited.
I also learned this afternoon that I received a passing score (by a substantial margin, thank you very much) for California when I took the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) last month. That was a big relief, since it was the second time I took the test and they are raising the minimum passing score in January. (The first time I took the test, I missed the passing score by one point.)
Anyway, I would love to start digging into that appellate record, but I need to study for Evidence. Got a pile of hearsay exceptions I need to memorize. Doesn’t that sound like a delightful way to spend the evening?
