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.
(F.A. Hayek) The Road to Serfdom

Why Lawyers get paid.

Reification - Intangible rights are embodied in a tangible object

It is words and definitions like this that make law so "Sucky". I am confident that this is a made up word. GOOOOO Law School :(

Relax

Today is a Day where I simply need to take a deep breath and relax. Who would have thought that life could be so hectic in the third week of school. I am feeling like I am a 1L again and having the moment of panic. I think that law school teaches you how to deal with stress by throwing you into the fire. When you think you have a handle on stress, they crank up the heat. I need to remember that God won't give you any more than you can handle. Even writing this blog brings down my stress level. I am lucky to have people who care about me and read my blog. Ultimately though, I can't wait for midterm #1 to be over so I can move on with my other numerous jobs. Note to Self - Take life a little less serious and you will enjoy the ride. No point riding in the car with your head in a book, you might miss the real story.
