  • I'm on a team writing an amicus brief for the Supreme Court!!

    Not only do I get pro bono hours for it, but it's for a free speech cause!

    Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast.

    Big congrats!
    3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures --1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (borrowed with gratitude from 37818's sig)

      Coolness!
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        very impressive! Is this a state or the federal Supreme Court?

            I'm certain she's referring to the US Supreme Court.

            I only recall assisting with one brief at the USC - an invited opposition to a petition for certiorari (the petition was denied).

                yeah I remember getting to argue in front of the US Supreme Court once. I won.




                Then I woke up.

                  I don't think there is anything hush hush about it. Mass Citizens for Life has asked for some Harvard students to draft an amicus brief concerning a law in California that requires crisis pregnancy centers to disseminate information on where pregnant women can obtain abortions (in some cases state funded).

                    wow.

                    I bet the abortion centers are not required to disseminate information on where the crisis pregancy centers are, huh?

                        I don't believe so.

                          Here in town we have a crisis pregnancy center right next to an abortion clinic! They really hate that. In fact you have to walk past the CPC to get to the abortion clinic (planned parenthood)

                            They just pushed back the due date for filing, which is good news for me, because it means I will be in town with plenty of time to do all my follow-up and turn in my pro bono forms without worrying about scanning and emailing them everywhere.

                            And now I really don't have to do any substantive work before my finals are over.

                              The amicus should be filed tomorrow. The supervising attorney is making sure each of us gets 5 copies.

                              I've also been invited to consider being the 1L representative for the law school's pro-life group.

                              Regardless of what my grades turn out to be in a week or two, I'm already doing the work I was called here for.
