Free Lunch weeks
In the beginning of law school life here, there are lots of event you can have 'free' lunch. The meetings held by various kinds of student associations, Student Bar Association, Corporate&Tax, Hispanic, Muslim, Asian, provide free lunch. (Most meeting are held during lunch hour.)
It was quite a good chance to know the various interests of our students. The representative students present the yearly plan for their associations at the meeting.
If you have any special interest around the law, you can fulfill it with other affiliates here.

1L life started
Well, it's a little nervous start for me. As the only foreign student, I mean a student who just moved from a foreign country (Korea), it's not easy to listen to English all day. ^_^ My classes in this semester are Torts, Civil Procedure, Contracts, and Legal Analysis. I guess most of law schools provide the same subjects for 1L. None of them are easy to me.
I'll do my best to survive, anyway.

[info] What's "Motion in limine" ?
A request submitted to the court before trial in an attempt to exclude evidence from the proceedings. A motion in limine is usually made by a party when simply the mention of the evidence would prejudice the jury against that party, even if the judge later instructed the jury to disregard the evidence. For example, if a defendant in a criminal trial were questioned and confessed to the crime without having been read his Miranda rights, his lawyer would file a motion in limine to keep evidence of the confession out of the trial.
