This week in law school...

So this week in law school is "Bridge Week" for me. Essentially, all the regular classes I have this week will be converted into one class called "Law in Context" that's worth 3 credits which is half the credits of a regular law course. Basically, our schedules are the same but the content of the classes are different. In each class we get to learn a different facet of all the ethical duties, potential professional conficts, and disclipinary actions that could arise if we happen to be total fuck ups as lawyers.

Did you know I can receive disciplinary actions based no what I do outside the office, I guess being lawyer means scaling back my dreams of becoming an international playboy. No blatant drunken-coke-induced debauchery for me. Only covert drunken-coke-induced debauchery... (in international waters) for me.

On a another note, Heather's heading home on Thursday for her convocation. I'm so jealous... i was so tempted to book a ticket and head home with her, but unfortunately there is no flex in my schedule. After bridgeweek, i'll have 4 writing assignment all due the next friday. Plus, I've got an LSLAP (Law Students Legal Advice Program) clinic the following monday.

The LSLAP program is the UBC legal aid program that provides legal advice to low income families and individuals. Its run entirely by volunteer lawyers and students. Basically, at the start of school, they said join this club or you won't get a job. So I joined, as did the rest of the 200 other fearful 1st year law students. So, with the help of a volunteer lawyer, I get to utilize my supple 6 weeks worth of legal education to help deranged homeless people or uppity-rich-folk-pretending-to-be-poor so they can get free legal advice about their 4 beach front properties.

Craziness.
