Congratulations to third-year Andrew McCarthy on his engagement to Megan Madaras.
Congratulations to Professors Abraham, BeVier, and P. Mahoney for being named the David and Mary Harrison Distinguished Professors of Law.
Thumbs up to Section J for bringing a beer pong table to use during breaks at the 1L Softball Tourney. You all were the (im)moral victors of the Tourney, if not the best team.
Thumbs down to the 1L section that harassed the umpire during its game, but thumbs up to all the umpires who harassed 1L sections.
Thumbs up to Raisin’ Caine for donating tons of chicken fingers for the 1L softball tournament. It was a great change from ANG’s usual Copeley Power Lunch of a pine cone and peanut butter.
Thumbs up to the Federal Appellate Judge who made a cameo appearance at NGSL Song Night to sing a rousing two-song set. But just so you know, ANG’s going to hang on to those photos.
Thumbs up to the 2L who got cited by police while on a callback trip. If that firm hires you . . . best firm ever.
Thumbs up to fall break. ANG really needed a respite from all the days full of golf and nights full of smuggling heroin and running guns.
Thumbs up to the bin of toys in the courtyard. Now if ANG could only find the bin of adult toys. . .
Thumbs down to recent alumna who complained about the noise at the Foxfield afterparty. Why exactly are you still in Charlottesville?
Thumbs up to Professor Sprigman for sending out an absurdly long Copyright reading assignment the day before it was due. You helped clear ANG’s conscience for not doing the reading.
J. Jeffries: “I don’t understand why people listen to Dave Matthews. What happened to rock and roll? Why do people listen to this nambly-pambly type of music?”
D. Leslie: “Dean Jeffries is here now. Before him was Scott, and before him was Moses, because Scott was here a hell of a long time.”
G. Mitchell: “Interestingly, and don’t ask me how I know this, a small amount of urine in coke is not noticeable.”
D. Leslie [referring to student’s comment]: “See, there’s the lawyer. You see something crooked and you say, ‘Don’t worry about this. I can fix it.’”
G. Robinson: “...needless to say I have bad memories of this period of early cable regulation.”
T. Nachbar: “I have bad memories too; it was one of the first years I was out of pre-school.”
A. Woolhandler: “People are smiling-I don’t think I’m being funny though. I’m just paranoid.”
A. Woolhandler: “Being a federal judge is a good job—people laugh at your jokes.”
Student: “What is the difference between primary and secondary distinctions?”
J. Jeffries: “It’s just gibberish.”
Student: “Well that makes me feel better.”
J. Jeffries: “Well, it shouldn’t, you could have figured it out by yourself.”
G. Mitchell [incredulously]: "Am I losing my voice? No. I’m becoming a man."
Student: “I wanted to ask about something that struck me in the Yonkers case...”
G. Mitchell: “That’s funny... something that struck me, last night, was my wife.”
B. Garrett: “We don’t need a fake courtroom to be fake lawyers.”
J. Harrison: “There is something to be learned from the fact that the British fail to respect the distinction between ‘which’ and ‘that.’ First you go soft on the pronouns, and then you lose the Empire.”
S. Smith: “If you were smart enough to get into medical school, you wouldn’t be in law school. That’s pretty much a given.”
