"Offensive Non-Mutual Collateral Estoppel" would be great to have on a t-shirt like a band name. And I would totally watch a civ pro themed lawyer punk band with that name.

I did. I think visuals make things so much easier to understand.
But you can take it too far. For example, no one appreciated the slide deck and charts I made for our family vacation.

And this is why I took every UCC class available! It was definitely one of the best decisions I made in my legal education. It was also fun!

Static cling sticky notes! I got some at an ABA conference 15 years ago and they still stand out as my favorite swag.
Also: Fresh fruit. Put your sticker on it and call it done. There's a total lack of fresh fruit at most conferences and people will be grateful.

I'm so impressed with my costume skills. I was gluing stuff together in the hotel room on Sunday morning! IMHO the bird makes the outfit.

If I answer a call, I *do* say "hello" followed by something friendly generic.

I have set my phone so that "unknown" calls don't ring at all. My voicemail says that this is what happens and that I won't know that they called unless they leave a message. I don't say my name in any of these things because of scams that can use recordings of your name and "yes" for voice cloning.

I'm just happy that ANYONE made an underpants gnomes reference for ANY reason. I make them all the time and I just get blank stares.

There was a 5.4 earthquake in California on Day 1 of the July 2008 bar exam in California. I also think there was an ExamSoft outage during that same administration. It was unclear if our results were captured. It's always something.

This is so cool! One of my friends is having a baby and I think I'll need to get this for him.

I have to read all the latest buzz to see if workflow has been redefined. The hardest part of all of this is keeping up with words that have changed meaning!
