New Book about How to Succeed in the First-Year of Law School. Know someone who is considering taking the law school plunge? Put them on the path to success with a copy of 1L of a Ride: A Well-Traveled Professor's Roadmap to Success in the First Year of Law School (West 2009). Hot off the presses, 1L of a Ride is the only book that provides a step-by-step blueprint for achieving both academic and emotional success in law school's first year. Includes real samples of Socratic dialogue, exam questions and answers, student case briefs and class notes. Written in a lively voice, using humor and dozens of true-life anecdotes. Check out a new book review of 1L of a Ride (on p. 16) in the Spring issue of The Law Teacher, published by the Institute for Law Teaching and Learning. Speaking of the book, I've been blogging about it for the Center for Engaged Law-Learning (CELL) blog. Part I addresses psychological distress in law students. Part II explores the perilous second semester. Part III offers some surprising empirical answers to law school questions you may have wondered about. Strange Judicial Opinions. Every time I think we've captured all of the old judicial gems, more come pouring in, including a 1920 case in which a judge ruled that men are "cavemen to the pleasures of the bed" and a 1964 Massachusetts Supreme Court cookbook of fish chowder recipes masquerading as a judicial opinion. Meanwhile, staid U.S. Supreme Court justices seldom offer much in the way of amusing opinion-writing, but Justice Roberts' recent foray into the genre of hard-boiled noir crime fiction in a routine drug case stands out as a delightful exception. Strange Judicial Opinions. Weird Legal News. I can say with confidence that you simply are not going to believe U.S. Patent No. 7,122,000, a sexual stimulation device inauspiciously titled "Method of using a water pipe."
