Today in History (1862) - The U.S. government forbids all Union army officers from returning fugitive slaves, thus effectively annulling the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 and setting the stage for the Emancipation Proclamation. On the same day in 1865, the Confederate Congress voted to enlist 300,000 black troops, granting them freedom with the consent of their owners. Lee surrendered a few weeks later. |
With less than three weeks left before the February bar exam, I'm going offline until the 28th. Then I'll be posting until March 15 -- the fourth anniversary of De Novo -- when I will stop blogging. My law student status technically ceases next Thursday when I graduate, and the bar exam is the last vestige of it. In the interim, I hope to hear from current and future law students who have an interest in blogging and were looking for a good place to do it. I would love to see De Novo continue as an active student blawg.
UPDATE: Why I also will be ceasing to comment on other people's blogs, edit Wikipedia, or otherwise engage in online writing except as encouraged by a salaried position.
If I used to comment regularly at your blog and you actually miss having me rip on your other commenters, please e-mail.
Good luck on the bar and congratulations on graduation (I'll hold off on retirement well-wishes until it actually happens)!

The end of an era. PG, I know you'll kick some booty on the quiz. Congratulations on finishing law school (did you ever write that paper based on one of my blog posts?)!
I'll be in DC in a couple of weeks for SLDN's Lobby Days. Unfortunately, it'll only be for one night and I'm committed to visiting my Girl's brother and his family. I would like to actually meet -- finally!
Anyway, my very best to you. If you ever get out to the Detroit area, drop me a line.
