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.

Professor Jack Miller

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.

Basic Legal Accounting

I can't take credit for the grading method described in this cartoon (click for bigger version). Dean Seamon did in fact use it for Civ Pro II.

Denied

The law school's plan to open a branch in Boise was "dismantled" by the Idaho Board of Education. Plan B is a 3rd year program in Boise. The University of Idaho will continue to build its "legacy of leading" from the prominant location of Moscow while the applicant pool faces the temptation of a private law school in Boise. Meanwhile, U of I Law students will continue to commute for internships, externships, and semesters in practice in Boise.

Mandatory Meeting

At the podium is Anne-Marie Fulfer, Director of Career Development. These meetings generally cover the basics of job-hunting. Attending this meeting are my classmates, Dave, Hope, and Matt.
