Consortium is a new kind of law journal which aims to explore the social aspects of lawyering and law school http://consortiumjournal.org/ 2008-08-20T19:24:27-05:00 FeedCreator 1.7.2 2007-01-29T03:52:00-05:00 2007-01-29T03:52:00-05:00 2007-01-29T03:52:00-05:00 http://consortiumjournal.org/issue01/

So I guess this is the beginning. To say that it's not a little weird, to see this thing that Charlsie and I started talking about over three months ago finally take shape, would be a lie. To that end, though, this first issue of Consortium is like many first attempts; there's a lot of good here, that's true, but it'd be a little boring if there was nothing to improve for the second issue.

I like to write on yellow legal pads with red ink. Here I am, sitting at the conference table, poised and ready to take lots of important notes about this very pivotal deposition. My job is to sit and listen. While sipping on coffee. It will be difficult and taxing, but I am working on being good at listening to conversations that do not include or pertain to me. I am a zealous advocate for my client. And I have on my favorite suit today. Clothes make a girl.

Maybe those of you who studied accounting or engineering over the last four years knew you'd be here all along; maybe you slithering young republicans or vacuous democratic hacks schemed for years about beginning your political career with this degree. Some of us, though, didn't expect our degrees in the arts to result in the often-rote toiling that law school entails.

After realizing that they're entering a wholly new social system full of people they don't know, a brilliant idea dawns on some of these Zero-Ls: "Hey! I can be somebody new!" And thus begins a fantastic journey.
