LAW SCHOOL BLOGGING SERIES Well, here we are six weeks into the semester and I have a midterm in t-1 week in Con Law and another Midterm (online at least) for Corporations. What has been a nice change of pace from last semester is that my Con Law professor is requiring weekly short essay quizzes from his students, unfortunately he is still leaning way too much on the text. We read the material outside of class, we read it again in class, and we then review the material after class. If it doesn't stick, Tough luck. As for pending projects: - 1. 25pg Paper for International Law - Topic: Generally, the International Legal Ramifications of the recent ASAT test by China. The growing militarization of space, and the present outer space legal regime has been thoroughly discussed by numerous scholars so it is not like I have to stretch for material. I'm currently in the process of writing the outline for it. I would really like to have a publishable manuscript after I am done with it. - 2. Federal Income Tax - OK, Not my most exciting class, but it is one of the law classes where one can definitely have a "right" answer - Current topics: The income tax treament of Gifts, Bequests, Devises, and Inheritances and the Sale of a Principal Residence. This class is very statute intensive. Besides, do we really need Sec. 1012 to remind us that basis = Cost, and Glenshaw Glass to tell us that income is an accession to wealth clearly realized subject to the taxpayers complete dominion and control. -3. Corporations - Ugh, were do I begin. I have a morning class with a professor who is not a morning person. Each class starts on average 10-15 minutes late and we have just started the material for week 3. (About 3 weeks late.) -4. Property - Class is definitely not the place to learn the material. I enter class thinking I know my stuff and then leave class totally confused. Today, was Common Interest Communities and Associational Standing for the ability to change and impose CC&R's. I think I have figured it out however, the prof does not want the obvious answers, but the stuff that only a psychic could divine from the sacred text, I meant case book. I'm in the process of pouring over his last exams to figure things out. Oh, and did I mention I'm registered to take law class in Salzburg, Austria this Summer. I'll book the flight eventually. Now back to studying, already in progress. ---WDR.
