Y'all. I am so lucky to have absolute quality in-house graphic design expertise (@Eric_E_Johnson). Check out the cover he designed for the statutory supplement to my crimmigration casebook, which is, like the casebook, free online (http://kitjohnson.net/casebook/statsupp.html) or...

(5) Citing outdated law. Many law school classes explain the development of doctrine over time. That said, you should answer ?s using current law unless you're asked about older stuff. If you feel compelled to use historical material, explain why it's good/relevant to do so.

(4) Missing half of a two-part question. Double check the question! Does it say answer X *and* Y? Double check the portion of the exam that's relevant to the question. Did a party argue X *and* Y? Did you only talk about X?

(3) Making up rules of law from whole cloth. I get it, you're taking your final. You're desperate. You figure, I'll just make up some law. But it never works b/c your prof *knows the law*. So, maybe, add more analysis to areas you do know? Or spot the issue/conflict and move on?

(2) Memorizing key words but not what those key words mean. Students will offer an on-point word but then go completely off the rails. If your class has key words, write them on an index card. Pop an explanation/example on the other side. Boom. You've got flashcards.

(1) Making up facts. Your essay might be set in the real world, but that's not an invite to use your lived experience to answer the question. The test is how you use the *facts you are given* and tie those to the *law you have learned.*

Grading is done for the semester and I thought I'd share a few thoughts about common mistakes that law students make on their essay exams. 🧵

Well holy fuck. I should've finished the show before tweeting. I am wrung out. To @Hannahgadsby, I heard, felt, and understood your story. If you were here right now, I'd give you the biggest hug. I'll just sent one over the internet instead.

I picked up this painting at an estate sale this weekend. It’s by Carolyn Faseler, a local artist who passed away in January. I ❤️❤️❤️ it.

Kid and I are trading sad songs. I play Somebody by @depechemode.
Kid: This isn’t sad. The lyrics are sweet.
Me: You have to imagine you’re a 13yo girl who, with all the drama and hormones of her age, knows in her heart of hearts that no one will ever love her like that.

I’ve been making scarves with leftover yarn. This one came out so great — the perfect colors for the local high school. Kiddo thought I should model it before giving it away. (PS if you have old yarn around and don’t know what to do with it — I’ll make scarves to donate!)
