Hey guys! This Week at Law School I developed a complex about my ability to write a legal paper and now I am having lucid nightmares that will probably haunt me forever... Also, it was Halloween!

This Week at Law School I had to get back into the swing of things after the placement break. I struggle with a difficult concept in my contracts class. I got to watch the Armed Forces Court of Appeals hold court at the law school. Also this week, I interviewed the brilliant Jameson Gardner who already has a PhD in something that I don't know anything about and is looking like he will probably destroy law school as well. Finally, I am including a special musical number from my property class this week with the permission of Professor Fee who performed this while playing the dobro and accompanied by one of our classmates, Kate Raynor, to help reinforce some of the legal concepts we have been learning about. Thank you all so much for your support of the show. I have been so grateful to those of you who are listening and giving great feedback on this. I hope you enjoy this episode of This Week at Law School.
