Boom Time Ladies and Gentlemen,
After a long day of LAW (10 hours of class to be exact, shoot me in the face), The Law's Law's brain is still firing on all cylinders. The only choice was to post something on le blog.
Tomorrow is a day of epic opportunities: The Halloween Bar Review. Now, people still do not understand what a Bar Review is. It is NOT when law students go and study for the bar. I gently told a certain associate of The Law's Law the other week to buy me a bottle of Kettle One for the Bar Review and was abruptly asked, "Excuse me, that is not how one studies for the Bar." People, a Bar Review is when law students go and "review a bar." What is really fun about bar reviews to The Law's Law is that law students 1) get drunk off one drink and then go wild and 2) every person there thinks they are a perfect 10 when in all honestly at USC they would be lucky to garner a 2 from The Law's Law.
In either case, the review is at one of the old stomping grounds for The Law's Law. The previous time I attended this venue was mid-July. I favor the middle open air bar because Madame Bartendress and The Law's Law could not stand all of the Hollyweirds (thanks to Sir Phd for the nomenclature inspiration) there and decided to drink lots of varieties of alcoholic beverages (The Law's Law could not summon her name but hopefully I remember by tomorrow).
With the impending Halloweekend coming up, The Law's Law would like to invite everyone to give one big adios to Rocktober and a loud Hello to the holiday season. As sad as The Law's Law gets to saying goodbye to Rocktober (almost as sad as Sir Creature gets when he sees worms or snails), November will be joyous as Sir Big Ball Pete never loses.
Expect a pre-Rocktober / post-lame (rad) Bar Review post Friday.
All's well that ends well,
The Law's Law
P.S. Stay Classy.

A Beautiful Day / Mind
Readers,
The Law's Law would first like to give a response to Sir Creature's comment that there are underlying messages in this blog. First, The Law's Law is a believer in the legal philosophy of interpreting documents / cases by their "plain meaning." This is an approach that most Supreme Court Justices (the rad ones) take in interpreting the U.S. Constitution. The other side of the spectrum is interpreting the Constitution as a "living document" that can be constantly reinterpreted (which is lame because then the original intention of the framers of the Constitution gets skewed at least in yours truly's opinion). With The Law's Law's legal philosophy in mind, please interpret this blog by the plain meaning. There are no underlying messages and The Law's Law means what he says and says what he means. This is in addition to his belief that every word spoken shall be carefully chosen and meaningful (should practice this more often myself).
With that in mind...
In addition to today being the U2 concert (the bass from the concert literally rocked my house from the Rose Bowl), today was just absolutely amazing. In addition to it being a great day I must say that I cannot believe we have to wait yet another 3 weeks for a home game. I find it absolutely unconscionable that we have to wait for such a long time for another home game. It is literally like waiting for Christmas to come. One only has to ponder...
In unusual Law's Law fashion I must sound off on a couple of subjects:
The Sweepstakes: Nothing like waking up in the morning on the couch to find out that you missed Beaches (to drink some delicious Fireman's Ale) and that your friend tried to do big things with a certain maybe. Sir K to the Hawaii, the sweepstakes is on and I cannot wait for next weekend, hahaha.
The moment we've all been waiting for: The Blue Ribbon Award goes to Madame Birv. I have no clue how to explain how much this girl hates blogs (for more info on this, please visit The Law's Law bro's site http://dirtydigz.blogspot.com/). All I have to say is that we like to have fun and blogs facilitate that fun. When you are hungover on Monday morning, you will understand. However, the Birv does not win this award for this reason. Usually The Law's Law awards the award for exemplary behavior. However, today it is awarded for inactivity. Congratulations to Madame Birv for partying for 72 hours straight, complaining about her "homework," only to let us know on Sunday that her work only consisted of writing a 2 page paper (which according to an 8p Sunday BBM was still not done). The Law's Law has probably already written 2 pages on this post and he is rolling deep while scribing within 5 minutes. Honorable Mentions go to Sir Slow-Cotte for taking two wallets from the House of Lords (aka Chateau Bleu?) and for Sir Chairs for puking on his BB.
OreGONE: still a possibility of going to this game especially since The Law's Law has been cordially invited to stay in Auetzen, Oregon. However, The Law's Law Halloweekend costume may prevent such thing from happening since it is just so good: The Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World" (TMIMITW). Pretty pumped to not shave for a week and to spray my hair gray.
ASU? The Law's Law unfortunately signed up for the MPRE (Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination) and will most likely not be able to take this roadtrip (although The Law's Law did already skip on this exam in August in order to do an NYC plow, so you never know).
This is the last week of Rocktober. The only good thing that The Law's Law sees coming out of this is that November 1 marks the first day one is allowed to play Christmas music. I was talking to my neighbor the other day and he told me to get ready for a Christmas season unlike any other. No clue what that means but it got me pretty pumped up.
I have not been to my regular Monday Yardhouse lunch in a month. Tomorrow is my first day back. Hopefully Madame Bartendress is not too disappointed in me (we became pretty good friends actually in September mainly bc shes a 10+)
Boom Time,
The Law's Law
P.S. The New Songs, DVD's, and photo albums and whatnot that have come out of this weekend have been absurd.
P.P.S. Sir Fratellis, I was a little disappointed in your performance on Saturday at Beaches. One must strive for the Blue Ribbon Award. Let's pick it up on Halloweekend.
P.P.P.S. Thank you to all of my loyal followers for pushing this blog above 600 original clicks. Big things to come and this has inspried The Law's Law to write a book and possibly some memoirs.
P.P.P.P.S Hope you all enjoy the new blog template.

Blue Ribbon Honorable Mentions
All-
Upon further review, I would like to add some Blue Ribbon Award Winner Honorable Mentions from Chicago. This is the first time this has been done because The Law's Law was not complete in compiling his research on Monday (busy two days, my most sincere apologies). I also either did not see these occurences or was not present at the moment because I do not know how I could have missed or forgotten it.
Now, these two gents have received the Blue Ribbon award before (Tonga Lagoon plunge) and apparently made a HUGE push for the prestigious award again. Therefore, congratulations to Sir Large One and Sir Darkness for both TRULY living up to their names and doing huge things on the stripper pole at Mother's. You two are the first Blue Ribbon Award Honorable Mentions.
For those of you that need evidence of this (and believe me you do need to see the evidence), please take a look at their FB pictures in Sir Large One's little sister's FB album " chi chi chicago!" (Sir Phd, I will never figure out how to put pictures on this thing).
Congratulations again,
The Law's Law
P.S. I am in my boring class again and actually burst out laughing when seeing the pictures. The Professor also equated a recession to Notre Dame which was pretty f-ing cool. Apparently he is also making a push for the award.

Home Weekend
After some ridiculous weekends out of town The Law's Law is excited that he does not have to jump on a plane and actually gets to spend a Thursday in the City of Angels. I am in my dead boring class right now "Remedies: Damages, Equity, and Restitution." For the Chicago bus-mates, this would be the class I listen to Party in the U.S.A. while playing Scrabble, while watching Postseason.TV, and now while blogging.
Un-real weekend in Chicago. Could not believe the amount of people that 1) said it was warm (it was freezing) and 2) showed up. Millions upon millions of 6-man miracles. I was also really impressed by the amount stories involving Boats. One involved Thursday night at Mother's where 4 of us got super excited that "I'm on a Boat" came on (what bar plays that song, seriously) and had such ridiculous moves on the D-Floor that we literally scared 20 people off it and had pictures taken of us. Not surprising for celebrities I guess. My other favorite boat story involved our Friday Boat Cruise where the Cash Bar-tender was shocked that Sir Large One and myself bought vodka shots mid-day (I mean come on, we were in the middle of a river freezing, it's a natural way to get warm). After tipping he told us that we were brought up well and to please thank our parents for bringing us into the world. That would be the first (and only time probably) that anyone has said this to him and I. Needless to say we were pumped.
Saturday was unreal (even though I hate the refs more than anyone I know). Favorite story from there were the rest stop urinals all overflowing at once (4 total) and Sir Rank Amateur slipped and fell straight into the "waterfalls" (although I was not so pumped when he laid on my hotel bed upon return from South Bend in his pee infested jacket, lame).
Chicago trip ended as it only could for The Law's Law with it taking an hour to get to the airport (budgeted only 30). Literally got to the airport with 20 minutes to flight time. The shuttle guy forgot his credit card machine so a couple from La Canada lent me 20 dollars (clearly I had no cash from Saturday and had to give them a check). I was so late I could not even use the automated check-in, had to go to the counter and have myself escorted to the plane. Made it with 2 minutes til flight time (ask Sir ATO about how everyone in the priority line let me pass, it was pretty amazing). Another funny Sunday story was that The Law's Law and Sir Zeth went to be tourists Sunday morning and asked a random public bus driver on his break where Milennium Park was. Instead of just telling us he told us to hop on his ride and took us directly there (basically turning a public bus into his own bus, so random). He then went on a rant about how he doesn't believe in Global Warming.
Blue Ribbon Award of the week goes to Sir Master and Sno-mander. Instead of being a normal human being and coming to dinner with us on Friday night, this child decided to drink by himself at Mother's for 3 hours and got kicked out 3 separate times. According to Sir Darkness the bouncer said that he tried to rush the door to try to get back in. Unreal.
Hope everyone makes it a great week and here's to the Dodgers ACTUALLY showing up for tonight's game.
The Law's Law
P.S. Sir Hans, your father is a champ for coming on the bus with us.
P.P.S. I expect the blogs to be firing it up tonight...let's go domhatesanimals.blogspot.com

First Live Blog Update
Negotiations Midterm Update:
Before the Midterm we were assigned our "roles," had a side to defend, and were assigned a person to negotiate against. Briefly, my role was to defend a museum that lost some expensive artwork due to some pipe breakage and had also given away some artwork that was not fully paid for. Clearly the Professor did not know that The Law's Law is a huge patron of the arts (as said on Friday before Fusion to Sir Creature, Sir Darkness, and Sir Law of the Firm's SF Branch, I like to compare my writings to paintings by Van Gough and Picasso--"Broad strokes, you fill in the details").
Now, the midterm was an hour long videotaped negotiation (which, will be emailed to me and there will be a viewing party at the House of Lords) against my assigned opponent in a room by ourselves. As soon as the hour ended and the videotape cut my opponent literally (cannot make this stuff up) said to me:
"I feel like I just got taken for a ride." -Anonymous Opponent of The Law's Law
The Law's Law knew he won but never would have thought that such honesty could come from a future lawyer. Therefore, I shall make Madame Opponent of the House of LLS my Blue Ribbon Award winner of Tuesday (or technically Wednesday at this point...traffic was terrible due to rain).
Over and Out,
The Law's Law
P.S. I love the blogs that have been starting. The amount of posts literally keeps me on my toes and forces me to at least match the amount of post-age. Furthmroe, as The Law's Law it truly brings a tear to my eye to see http://domhatesanimals.blogspot.com/, http://dirtydigz.blogspot.com/, http://talesfromporto.blogspot.com/, and http://celebritystache.blogspot.com/ picking up some major steam.
P.P.S. Let's keep it going and may The Law's Law somehow learn how to actually live blog from his BB (and also upload pictures, still cannot figure that one out for the life of me).

ACTION!
Colleagues,
One may be asking what in the world is Action. Well, along with being my future slogan when I run for Senator in 2040, it is going to be the theme for the Chicago trip.
Now the word Action and myself have had a troubled yet fantastic history. Not only was it a recurrent theme during Sir Zeth's presidency, it was also a recurrent theme whenever I had a qualm during our Frat Exec Meetings. For example, "Let's throw a $5,000 party instead of a $2,500, ACTION!" Or, "Let's put our Spring Social Budget on USC winning the National Championship, ACTION!" (thank god we did not do the later). Or simply, "Take a shot, ACTION!"
Now the word Action and myself have had about a year hiatus. Thanks to Sir Zeth's bbm on this rainy Tuesday (why he would want me to bring Action back is beyond me), the fact that I have a Negotiation midterm in 15 minutes (1 on 1 videotaped session for an hour, Godspeed to my opponent), and that Chicago is about 36 hours away, I would like to officially bring back the word ACTION. Whenever someone is being lame, feel free to call them out on Action!
Many of you may get tired of my word phases (like Boom, Bam, Thizz, and Granola for starters), but Action means so so much more. It's way of living!
So here's to Action and the many things it brings.
Boom!
The Law's Law
P.S. This post was made in an effort to quell my reader's concerns about the lack of posts. Come on, I am posting literally before a Midterm. Action!

Tuesday Negotiation Midterm
Ye Old Faithful,
The Law's Law would first like to thank the House of Lords and everyone for the birthday wishes & birthday weekend celebr0-tions (please forward this Thank You to Sir Rico of the House of Patron and Madame Meliss at Shell because they are absolute Saints for putting up with me this weekend and especially two weekends ago). The Law's Law is truly humbled by the love and support that everyone has given him on the 25th anniversary of coming into this world.
Speaking of which, The Law's Law needs to sound off. Many many asked if I had a Quarter Life Crisis. I would like to say that I have never heard that phrase before. Why would one be depressed and have such thing? Let me count the ways that I have a reasons NOT to have a Quarter Life Crisis: Family, Friends, Babers, MB, Pasadena, Newps, Airplanes, and Life as a House (first Mobile Upload ever). Only people like Remy and Gary have Quarter Life Crisis-es
Now...
Between 1200, Fanta a la 1200 style Shots, Keg in Sir Creature's Room, Keg Stands in Sir Creatures room, Shell, Lendale White, Michael Bush, Marty Smarty, Sir Creature's New Blog, Sir Ph'd's Current Blog, The Doctor, Bankrupting Vons of their Andre, future Pool Party at Madame Birvs, Sir Darkness' photos, Madame Provident making fun of Sir Fratellis (there is your shoutout haha) and the Cleaning Party, A+ weekend once again.
From what I have heard I have inspired many to creates blogs. I love this. But some have decided to give a little bit more incite into their lives (i.e. Sir Phd aka www.dirtydigz.blogspot.com giving explanation into the chemistry he does and Sir Creature sounding off at www.domhatesanimals.blogspot.com and Sir Chairseo sounding off about North MB / El Porto at www.talesfromporto.blogspot.com all while Sir Hans continues his obsession with the mustache at celebritystache.blogspot.com). Therefore, everytime I blog I will give a Law Word of the Day and pick out my Favorite Sentence out of a Judicial Opinion of the Week.
Law's Word of the Day: Res Judicata
Sentence of the Day: ‘Upon the appeal of any cause in equity, or of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, or of prize or no prize, a transcript of the record, as directed by law to be made, and copies of the proofs, and of such entries and papers on file as may be necessary on the hearing of the appeal, shall be transmitted to the Supreme Court: Provided, that either the court below or the Supreme Court may order any original document or other evidence to be sent up, in addition to the copy of the record, or in lieu of a copy of a part thereof. And on such appeals no new evidence shall be received in the Supreme Court, except in admiralty and prize causes.’ (Craig v. Smith, 100 U.S. 226, 229)
P.S. Sir NHL 2010, you would appreciate this blog: http://www.supremedicta.com/2008/04/funny-legal-words.html
Pretty jealous you are going to Chicago on Wednesday
P.P.S. Make it a great week. Cannot wait for Chicago. Not talking more about it because the Notre Lame blog will be intense (i.e. whole paragraph about turning our Sheraton hotel tub into a huge cooler, my favorite thing to do in life).
P.P.P.S. I would like to leave everyone with a review I got from my Negotiation course Professor (she read me like a book):
"Jesse:
Thank you. Your review of your performance was an ok first attempt.
For the midterm dig deeper on each question. You are still confusing
underlying interests a little bit. Although the competitive approach
may have put her off, it was necessary to get the best price. You are a
strong negotiator with a natural communication ability.
Prof. Bulmash"
P.P.P.P.S. www.abovethelaw.com
P.P.P.P.P.S. Here's to the next 100 years!!!

Sentence of the Day: ‘Upon the appeal of any cause in equity, or of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, or of prize or no prize, a transcript of the record, as directed by law to be made, and copies of the proofs, and of such entries and papers on file as may be necessary on the hearing of the appeal, shall be transmitted to the Supreme Court: Provided, that either the court below or the Supreme Court may order any original document or other evidence to be sent up, in addition to the copy of the record, or in lieu of a copy of a part thereof. And on such appeals no new evidence shall be received in the Supreme Court, except in admiralty and prize causes.’ (Craig v. Smith, 100 U.S. 226, 229)
P.S. Sir NHL 2010, you would appreciate this blog: http://www.supremedicta.com/2008/04/funny-legal-words.html
Pretty jealous you are going to Chicago on Wednesday
P.P.S. Make it a great week. Cannot wait for Chicago. Not talking more about it because the Notre Lame blog will be intense (i.e. whole paragraph about turning our Sheraton hotel tub into a huge cooler, my favorite thing to do in life).
P.P.P.S. I would like to leave everyone with a review I got from my Negotiation course Professor (she read me like a book):
"Jesse:
Thank you. Your review of your performance was an ok first attempt.
For the midterm dig deeper on each question. You are still confusing
underlying interests a little bit. Although the competitive approach
may have put her off, it was necessary to get the best price. You are a
strong negotiator with a natural communication ability.
Prof. Bulmash"
P.P.P.P.S. www.abovethelaw.com
P.P.P.P.P.S. Here's to the next 100 years!!!

Welcome to Rocktober
Letters to the Editor (via Gchat): "bro, your readership demands more blog updates"
Please excuse and I send my sincere apologies for the lack of posts lately. When there is a The Law's Law away trip Yours Truly needs to cram in a lot of Law that way he can enjoy the weekend without worrying about the impending Monday.
With a loud "YA BABY" The Law's Law would like to cordially welcome everyone to Rocktober, one of the best months of the year since its the time to party right after Summer and to pre-game for the Holiday season (arguably The Law's Law's very most favorite time of the year). Additionally, this year is quite special because within this year's Rocktober is the Weekender (legendary Weekender this year), The Law's Law's Bday, Notre Lame trip, another home game, a cap off USC game at Oregon, and Dodgers getting low throughout the month and blowing through the playoffs.
Weekender: Excellent excellent time (and definetly a top 3 Weekender). Not sure whether the absoute ownage of Cal or the City of San Francisco in general was more fun. There are three Blue Ribbon winners this year: Sir Darkness, Sir Zeth, and Sir The Large One. Now in case you have not heard (which if you're a reader I doubt you have not), these gents decided to take a dip into the Tonga Room pool / pond / moat (there was a legitimate debate as to what to call the body of water therefore it is the official poll of the week) in order to grab their Blue Ribbon awards. This means that the stakes have been driven up out of this atmosphere for the award. Thus far in Blue Ribbon lore we have an "detainee," a whole group bar kick out, and some serious butt kicking on the D floor to win the award. The award has become so prestigious that I almost refrain from awarding without an undeserving recipient.
A bone to pick: there has not been a female winner since last year's football season (when Sir Large One's sister took the award home for 2 weeks straight after some epic Newport weekends). Being that this is The Law's Law, a Legal Social Commentary, we try to be as politically correct as possible. Therefore, these is an epic chance for this to happen:
The Editor's B-Day Bash will take place at the House of Lords (1200 Manhattan) on October 9, 2009. The House of Lords has once again exceeded expectations and have been gracious enough to host this soiree.
Therefore, I look forward to seeing all followers and loyal readers there on Friday. It should be a time to remember and with no SC football and no Dodger playoff game on Friday, there will be nothing to distract everyone from making sure their cups are filled and their feet are moving to the sound of whatever ridiculous soundtrack the House of Lords has playing.
Over and Out,
The Law's Law
P.S. Fact Check / Errors: I forgot that the last actual female Blue Ribbon award winner took place on Blake's Birthday celebration in May.
