Busting the Overwhelmdth Meter
I apologize for the lack of blogish infotainment this last week. I discovered that the ‘tween semester “break week” is the biggest misstatement of law school; the fact that I did no studying did not make it a break.
And now I’m three days into my final semester, wondering how on earth I’m going to get all this stuff done. Here is what is on my study plate between now and October:
- Uniform Commercial Code (6 credit hours of utter insanity).
- Community Property (probably the easiest course on this list, but boring as anything).
- Senior Seminar Paper (30-50 pages).
- Trial Advocacy (a ton of fun and a corresponding ton of work).
It is at times like this that the only thing to do is paraphrase Prince Humperdinck. I’m swamped.

So what are you thinking of doing your paper on?

My approved topic is on international law, specifically the appropriateness of intervention in the affairs of a sovereign state. I’m planning at this point to take a two-part analysis; the first will be when it is appropriate for a sovereign state to interfere in the actions of another sovereign state (mostly just war theory, but with a focus on “lesser” forms of intervention). The second part will be an analysis of when it is appropriate for private individuals and groups to intervene in the affairs of another nation, in violation of that nation’s positive law.
That’s where it stands now…we’ll see where it ends up!
