through-the-haze asked: Any sanity-preserving tips for a lowly second year?... That is to say, ways to desperately hold on to the last scraps of said sanity through Law school....
No. Losing your sanity means you’re doing it right! Just accept it. Insanity will make you a better lawyer in the long run.
castielcito-has-fallen asked: ah, is both nice and terrifying to know that law schools are fucking stressing all over the world.
I know right! No matter the jurisdiction or legal system, law students will always be stressed :(
priceofliberty asked: Personally I enjoy property and intellectual property law myself ;) I really like the blog you have going on, it's very helpful.
Aww thanks!
It’s helpful?? Uhh… Ok :S
To those who do hear the law’s music, the law is something else entirely. It is a music filled with the logic and clarity of Bach, the thunder, sometimes overblown and pompous, of Wagner, the lyric passion of Verdi and Puccini, Mozart’s easy genius, Gershwin’s invention, Brahms’ calm, Handel’s good manners, Rossini and Vivaldi’s energy, Offenbach’s boisterous panache, Copland’s folksy common sense, Beethoven’s majesty, and, unfortunately, not a little of the ponderous tedium of Mahler and the sterile intellectualism of Schönberg. It is harder to describe the song the law sings. … [its] words are words of equality, justice, fairness, consistency, predictability, balance, equity, wrongs righted, and the repose of disputes settled without violence, without undue advantage, and without leaving either side with bitter feelings of having been cheated. … It is the music sung in the world in which … the lion lies down with the lamb. It is not a world that ever was, nor ever will be, but it is a world worth living toward.
