Rule of Law: Government in all of its actions is bound by rules fixed and announced beforehand - rules which make it possible to forsee with fair certianty how authority will use its coercive powers in given circumstances and to plan one's individual affairs on the basis of this knowledge.

The long awaited update

It has been a long time since I have written on the blog so it is good to get back to letting you into my head. This set of classes is a lot more interesting than last year’s because I can take classes that I enjoy. I am unfortunately still stuck in Civil Procedure but I think there is a lot to be learned from that class. I am really enjoying seeing those that I missed over the summer. It is nice to spend some time with my classmates and catch up on life with them. There really is a big gap in what everyone did this summer. As you know I went to Ireland, but most of my classmates did a law clerkship this summer. I really think that they got a lot out of the experience. I hope that I can get a good legal clerkship this summer and obtain some practical experience.
Things at home seem to be going ok; I am just trying to get back into the swing of things. Between the cleaning and cooking, and handling the household chores, I don’t have a lot of extra time. In my personal life, I am experiencing a little bit of personal angst because one of my best friends is getting married next week. I am well aware that life comes to you at its own pace, so you have to keep driving down the road until you arrive at your destination. But, I wonder how far I will have to drive and if I have enough gas in the tank to get there. I know for sure that I refuse to pick up a random hitchhiker just to have some company in the car. I am growing to an age now where I don’t mind driving alone. There is so much to see outside that company isn’t needed yet. Plus I have the radio. But I wonder how long I will still be satisfied with an empty seat next to me. One thing that eases my drive is my stage in life.
