Congratulations to Seth Ragosta ’08 and Lisa Perrygo ’08 on their engagement!
Congratulations to the UVA Extramural Moot Court Team on recent successes in the Sutherland Cup and the Phillip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court competitions!
Congratulations to Section I for winning the 1L Softball Tournament!
Thumbs up to Larry, the new employee of Courts and Commerce. Conveniently enough the term “bookstore ladies” is actually gender neutral, so ANG can continue using it. Seriously. Check Websters.
Thumbs down to the overall breakdown in library etiquette that occurs every time this year. Exams are no excuse. If it is no longer rude to sit right next to ANG when there are seats open elsewhere, it is no longer rude for ANG to kick you in the shins every six seconds until you leave. Fair is fair.
Thumbs down to seminar professors who make the final paper due before exam period, as opposed to well after it. Now ANG can’t ruin ANG’s summer by procrastinating as long as possible before scrambling to turn in subpar work. Thanks a lot Professor McRuinsANG’s plans.
Thumbs up to Justice Antonin Scalia for sticking around after his speech to teach a 1L Constitutional Law class. No, ANG does not know why there was a dude in a polar bear hat there, either. And yes, ANG thinks it’s as stupid as you do.
BUT, Trains on time to Justice Scalia who arrived late and thus began his talk over fifteen minutes after its scheduled start time. ANG understands you’re “important” and all, but the Masters were on, and that’s just inconsiderate.
D. Martin: You mean you can’t just say sovereigns will be sovereigns, like boys will be boys?
Student: Sex is essential to the marital relationship.
Class: [laughter]
T. Nachbar: Hey! To the extent that there’s going to be eighth-grade snickering in this class, I’m going to be the one who does it.
G. Rutherglen: The more you teach, the more you discover stupid laws.
S. Smith: I’m free to view porn and go to strip clubs. I’m never going before the Senate Judiciary Committee. I feel good about that, in a number of ways. . . . There was a Hook article the other day: why are there no strip clubs in Charlottesville? Great question.
Why should I have to drive all the way to Richmond or Washington?
M. Riley: Judgment. I’m generally pretty happy with your judgment, until I read the Law Weekly.
M. Schwartzman: We learned a few things [from Scalia’s Con Law 1L lecture]. . . . Wearing a stuffed animal on your head won’t get you killed, but the Secret Service will seriously consider it.
E. Kitch: So what kinds of animals did they leave off?
Student: Amphibians.
E. Kitch: Oh, yes. Dolphins!
K. Sinclair: I hope you have your lead breeches on.
D. Martin: I miss John Lennon.
B. Cushman: Now that the evaluations have been completed, we’re going to do things a little bit differently around here . . . I’d like to start with some calisthenics . . .
A. Johnson: I assume you’ve never built a house?
Student: Not with my hands.
W. Crigler: I’m not an academic professor. I’m not just here to stroke you folks.
T. Nachbar: I'm completely hip to the Eighth Amendment, but we're not studying it.
