What a busy week it’s been! Last week was the annual Barrister's Ball, also affectionately referred to as "law school prom." It was held at the beautiful Coach Insignia on the 72nd floor of the Renaissance Center. It was a fun opportunity to get dressed up, eat an outstanding dinner, do some dancing, and spend time with friends. This was the first year I attended Barrister's, and it was a really fun time. Yesterday, as part of our effort to enh...

As you can tell from the title, this is my very first blog EVER.  I don't just mean my first blog for UDM Law.  I mean, this is my first blog period.  And I'm very excited about it!  But I'm pretty sure my excitement has less to do with blogging and more to do with the school that I love so very much. I think I will start by telling everyone a bit about myself.  Then, I will get into how THIS WEEK has been goin...

Look guys! I have a new picture!  Today was a LONG day. Wednesdays are shaping up to be never ending. I have class from noon to 10pm. Then, when you consider that I like to get to school early to get everything together before class, it's pretty usual that it is a twelve-hour school day. Add in a half hour drive there, and a half hour drive home, and the result is an exhausted Meagan.  The nice part? I only have class on Mondays and W...

Welcome to the new UDM School of Law website! It may not seem like a big deal to you, but now I have the ability to post and edit my own blog posts, so that's pretty exciting for me. I also updated my "biography," so if you haven't read my blog before, that should give you the basics about what I'm all about. I'm also working on getting a new picture...the one that's up now was from two and a half years ago, and I never did like it. In typing th...

Hello Christmas Vacation!!   After a stressful past week (and let’s be real here, a stressful semester…), I have finally finalized the finale of my finals!! We won’t get our grades for another probably six weeks or so (you figure there are some classes of 70+ students, all-essay exams, each student writes 6-8 typed pages…), so now I’m just trying to stop the worrying about how this past semester went, and focus on relaxing and having some ...

Almost there! Ten more days until I’m done for the semester!!   I have a pretty funky final exam schedule this semester. I have three exams, and the first one isn’t until Thursday of the first final exam week. Then I have exams the following Tuesday and Wednesday. And then I’m done. Why is this a funky schedule? Because I had classes Monday and Tuesday of this past week, my clinic on Wednesday…and then I had the rest of the week off. Plus ...

Happy Thanksgiving!!   Wow, what a crazy month! November has been very hectic, but there have been a lot of exciting things going on at the law school!   I serve as a Presidential Ambassador for the University, which gives me the opportunity to represent the students at alumni events. (The interesting part is that I am an alumna of the University, even though I’m also a current student…) The Alumni Reunion Weekend was the last weeke...

Yikes. I’m sorry that my posts have been so sparse this semester! I guess I’ve just been a little busy…I know you are all dying to hear about my classes this semester, so I thought I would start with Pretrial Litigation: my first ever LFP.   My pretrial litigation class follows an employment sexual harassment claim from the very beginning, the initial client interview, all the way to a pretrial motion to exclude evidence.   The clas...

Wow, where did August go…?  So we’ve been back to school for almost four weeks now, but it feels like we just started! I think I can blame it on the fact that I’ve just been super busy. In addition to my Law Review work, and my “big girl job” search, I am also taking five classes.   Here is what my schedule looks like this semester: Monday: Business Crimes 6-8pm Tuesday: Pre-Trial Litigation 1:30-4:15pm, Professional Responsibi...

Law Review.  I realized that I’ve been talking a lot about Law Review, and “editing”…and I realized that I haven’t said that much about what it’s actually all about. Rather than talk more about how much I love my internship, I thought I would give you a little insight into this particular facet of my law-school life.  Law Review is, first and foremost, a publication. We publish articles that analyze new laws, discuss the implications ...
