My trip to Maine was a great weekend getaway. We made a quick stop in Freeport on Thursday night to break up the long drive, do a bit of shopping and have dinner. Then we drove the final two hours on Friday morning and arrived at Mount Desert Campground for a relaxing couple of days. [...]

A heat wave is just starting to settle over Boston. With temperatures over 100 degrees, it is hard to focus on just about anything. My garden, however, is loving the heat. Tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers have finally started to explode and in a week or so I might have to start eating salad for breakfast, [...]

I am just returning to campus after an amazing coop at the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts working for the Honorable Judge Nancy Gertner. Working in chambers far surpassed every expectation I had. The Judge took a lot of time to discuss cases and court proceedings with all of the interns. I [...]

Two days into finals week and I already have one completed! Last quarter not having a reading week was quite the shock, and now I’ve spaced out my time in a much more effective way. As a wiser 2L I have decided to take the slow and steady approach. The final paper for one of [...]

Within days of putting my applications together for the Spring coop collection, I found myself with a few interviews and soon accepted an offer at the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts with the Honorable Nancy Gertner. I am really appreciative of the opportunity to coop with her and know that my skills [...]

The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in the Phelps v. Synder case today. The case began in 2006 when US Marine Matthew Snyder was killed while serving a tour of duty in Iraq. At his funeral, Rev. Fred W. Phelps Sr. of the Westboro Baptist Church and other members (mostly family) came from Kansas [...]
First Coop!

I wasn’t sure how I would feel on my first coop after spending so much of my life in school, but I love it so far. When I joined Boston Medical Center’s Medical-Legal Partnership I was assigned to the income supports team. The Medical Legal Partnership is a joint effort between lawyers and doctors over [...]
Acadia, Maine.

Sometimes I think the best preparation for finals is to get away from school and relax. Of course, I have tons to do and not enough time to do it, but the truth is, if I’m not mentally ready for the challenge ahead, no amount of studying could adequately prepare me. So, with just two [...]
