Lawyers should go for Olympic Gold, too!
Article Abstract:
The practice of law is compared to various Olympic events. Events have titles like 'Sequestrian,' in which lawyers compete to see who can extend a criminal trial the most while keeping jurors isolated from family and friends and 'Uneven Bars' in which lawyers go shopping for the best forum. The Legal Olympics would also include several new events which would demonstrate skills key to effective lawyering.

The Bluebook blues
Article Abstract:
The author humorously explores the marginally useful and often obscure terms used in 'A Uniform System of Citation,' known commonly as the Bluebook. He suggests trimming it down and removing much of the Latin, especially op cit, passim, and cf, and takes issue with the use of see, accord, contra, id, and hereinafter.
