Early thoughts on law school

Here I am in California, leeching off my neighbor's wireless connection until our net is hooked up. (Tip to anyone reading this: put a password or some sort of security on your wireless network to keep us moochers away.) It's getting close to my bedtime (8 am class tomorrow means I have to get up before 6 am.) so this will be quick. I will try to post about the big cross-country move, Orientation at school, etc. when I get a moment.

So far, law school seems doable. I read in another law school blog that the way to coast through law school is to go to your safety school. Since I only applied to 4 schools and didn't get into either of my 2 reaches, I have followed that advice by default. So far, it has led me to almost fall asleep in my classes -- each and every professor has gone over the same basic info (ie: law school focuses on case decisions as compared to black letter law like statutes.) This information is available to anyone who Googles "law school." It should not require 10 hours of explanation. All the repitition almost made me thankful for Torts where we went 20 pages past the assigned reading the first class. Almost, but not quite.
