Bar Bound: "...Let's kill all the lawyers"
People use the phrase often without much regard from where it came. Do you know who said that? Dick the Butcher in Henry VI. People who use that phrase to disparage lawyers are generally ignorant people; few know that Shakespeare intended the line as praise of the lawyer’s role in society—Dick the Butcher knew that lawyers were the last stand against tyranny and chaos. He knew that to eliminate freedom, you had to eliminate lawyers. And he wanted to kill them.
Why do you think it is that there hasn’t been a mass execution at G-Bay? Because of lawyers.
Medical students enter school with the charge, Primum non nocere—First, do no harm. Law students enter school with no such imploration, but we should. We shouldn’t forget our task, nor the good we can do.
Do no harm.
Do good.
DONE!
HOLY SHIT. Just turned in my LAST paper and I am officially done with law school.
Can’t figure out citation?
Delete sentence.
Guess who sumbitted her last Law School final exam paper?
This girl.
Now to finish my ULWR and I AM DONE WITH LAW SCHOOL.
So, break tonight and finish tomorrow? I think so.
I’m drunk again.
And I still haven’t finished this freaking paper.
Historical Parallels? Civil Unions and Plessy
Maybe its because I’m writing about Plessy v. Ferguson for legal history, but President Obama’s made a comment about Civil Unions today (“I’ve always been adamant that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally….and I had hesitated on gay marriages in part because I thought that civil unions would be sufficient”) and I can’t help but draw a parallel between separate but equal railway carriages and civil unions instead of marriage.
Separate facilities are inherently unequal. Separate isn’t equal, equal is equal.
