Until Next Year – Lesley
April 22, 2013 at 9:09
I’m officially signing off. It is time to go into the deep, dark, hole where sweatshirts, yoga pants, tennis shoes, and hats live.
This year has been crazy-busy but also exciting and rewarding. I worked, competed in a regional and national mock trial competition, studied, laughed, cried, screamed and experienced any other emotion you can think of.

Started From the Bottom… – Lesley

So, there is s song that has inspired this week’s post. Hopefully, if you know it you won’t judge me for using it– I really only know two or three lines. The reason it has been inspiring is because, as the song says we “started from the bottom now we’re here.”

Representing An Alleged Murderer – Lesley
February 25, 2013 at 4:00 pm
I did not think much about the criminal world when I applied to law school. I knew why I was coming and it had nothing to do with the criminal realm (unless it was white collar). I had no desire to represent or defend alleged criminals.

Let The Games Begin – Lesley

Last night, Americans marked the end of football season with the
BeyonceBowlSuperbowl and now TU is gearing up for competition season.Last week, I competed in the Rocky Mountain Black Law Students Association Regional Mock Trial Competition in Dallas, TX. I must admit that I had no idea what to expect and as the trip got closer my nerves kicked in. I’d been confident up until the week of when I could not help but think there was something that I was forgetting—that I’d missed some crucial piece of evidence in the fact pattern.

It depends…. – Lesley

For those of you considering law school that like linear things, black/white, yes/no, up/down, get it all out of your head now. In your 1L year you will learn that the answer to everything is “it depends,” in practice this is also true.

Where does the time go? – Lesley
October 17th, 2012 – 10:41 am
I cannot believe how quickly the time is passing! We are now in our 9th week of school; there are some serious pros and cons to this.
Pro, that much closer to winter break! Last, time we chatted I told you that I still found time to sleep. I am sad to report that sleep has been escaping me lately.

And there’s still time to sleep – Lesley
September 19th, 2012 – 10:55 am
Somehow, I made it. The first year of law school can be terrifying at times. It’s sort of like boot camp for those of that are not inclined to wake up at 5AM and run mile after mile while someone screams at us. But don’t be fooled, I saw 5AM more times than I care to count. Sometimes it was because I went to bed early and woke up early to read. Somtimes, it was because I went to bed late and still woke up early. Other times, I stayed up frantically attempting to make my brain retain all the information I was reading.
