sorrowmonkeySo far, I have read about 75 pages of law text today, and briefed one case. I achieved a bunch of other stuff, but that's about it on the homework front. That leaves 153 pages to read, 24 cases to brief, and 33 questions in the text for this week.

zohra has a lot of painting to do. And, we got to have dinner with the duke and duchess across the street before their vacation.

I'm getting ready to turn in, and my brain is all melty. I didn't get any more reading done, but I did brief 8 cases. I have about 11 questions to do tomorrow, and then I will be caught up for Monday. But, if I don't get ahead on the stuff for Civil Procedure (the rest) I will be hosed. There is no way that I can read 150+ pages, and brief 16 cases, and a bunch of problems on Tuesday after work. I can probably do some of the reading on the train, but if I don't get some of those cases briefed tomorrow, I'm going to be sad.
Some of those briefs, especially the later ones, pretty much suck. I will want to revist them later, but at least I have a draft framework for each one. I always think I understand the reasoning (and perhaps I do), but it really seems like my reasoning sections of the briefs are short or vague. Since that is arguably the most important point of the brief, that's not really a good sign.
At some level, a lot of this is catch up. We are supposed to stay 35-50 pages ahead in the book from what we finish in class. The first week instructions didn't has us farther than 25 pages in any of the books, so it isn't much of a surprise that we have ground to make up. I can't see how we could really get through 16 cases in one two hour class, but I don't want to find out the hard way, either.
