Tonight my cite-checking partner and I finished the final cite-checks for my case note. I have a few more polishing changes to make, but it is pretty much done. I'll be giving it over this week; Friday at the latest.
It's kind of weird. I've been working on it, sort of, for the better part of year. For true symmetry, consider the fact that tomorrow is the big "you should write for Law Review" meeting. Our job is basically to convince 1 and 2Ls that they should write notes and comments, respectively. It appears it has been somewhere around a year, then, that I first went to a similar meeting. Granted, my case hadn't come out yet, and I didn't do as much over the summer as I should have, but it still has been a long time.
I'm actually looking forward to the law review stuff. I think we can have a bunch of great student-written materials to publish, and I really look forward to helping to make that possible. I've heard from a number of my classmates who are interested in writing comments, and, while I'm not a comment editor, I'm happy that they are interested and proud of my class for being ambitious enough to have that many people who want to do it. I really hope they all follow through, because I think they'd be good at it.
In other news, spring break is next week. This will give me a chance to catch up on my outlines and clean my house like crazy. It's nice to have some time to catch up. Of course, I also have to work on some job applications so that I can perhaps have a job ready when I graduate. It really never ends.
