Professor Jack Miller

Business Entities tax is quite the beast. Prof. Miller is more cheerful than I am, at least at 8:00 am. "It's not bad enough to warrant sarcasm," he says. So when he says, "This is it, this is the heart of darkness." You know for sure that the code is big fat and wrinkly.

Dean Don Burnett

The Dean teaches PR. PR stands for legal ethics. My favorite quote of his is "Some Clients may insist on that sort of chicanery." I had to look that one up. And believe you me, we have read about the worst chicanery in the book. The book of chicanery, also called Problems in Legal Ethics. Anyway, I now have every intention to act professionally, and to get fewer than 900 parking tickets.

Turns out, doodling during class—or meetings—may actually help your concentration.

So says Newsweek anyway. I agree.

Doodling can be a good thing. If there's a choice between doodling and daydreaming, you're better off if your students are doodling. Of course, it's best if you aren't boring them at all, but doodling isn't necessarily a sign of your students being naughty—it's a sign that it may be hard for them to concentrate without something visual.

Professor Michael A. Satz

I took a class called "consumer law" from Professor Michael A. Satz. Consumer law is about the good ways consumers can protect themselves, assuming they haven't received an envelope-stuffer relegating them to binding arbitration.

My most legal-rific cartoon ever

This one appeared here in the latest issue of the Advocate, Idaho's State Bar publication. The Ninth Circuit came to hear some arguments at the University of Idaho Law School's new and schnazzy courtroom. These three judges are, from left to right, Senior Circuit Judge J. Clifford Wallace, Circuit Judge N. Randy Smith, and Senior Circuit Judge Stephen Trott.

Visiting Professor of Law Nora O'Callaghan

Prof. O'Callaghan teaches Con Law. And now I will complain about the US judicial system. The judicial branch is considered the "least dangerous branch" because it doesn't have a purse our a sword. I'd say it should be called the fuzziest branch. Its as dangerous as any other of our branches. The judciary shapes our society, and that's just as important as our money or our army.
