Tired of me yet?

I am!

Welcome to the first issue of the Jurist for the fall semester. Special thanks to Juliet Speisman, Gregory Lambert and the SBA for their submissions.

Again, I encourage everyone to write for the Jurist. Or draw. Or take photos. Or record an impromptu chant into a tape recorder and then transcribe it. We at the Jurist appreciate creativity. Really. We do.

The next issue will be about electronic media and the law, as well as about Halloween.

If all goes well, it'll even come out by Halloween!

BOO!

The deadline for submissions is October 8. You can write about computers. You can write about TV. You can write about the ghost in your new apartment. You can write about the funny looks you got when you went trick-or-treating last year.

You can write about anything you want, really. We're not picky.

Okay, I'm done begging for copy now.

This issue's topic is learning and practicing the law. For the cover, I decided to run as many depictions as I could think of for "lawyer." I came up with corporate lawyers, civil rights lawyers, evil soulless lawyers, district attorneys, book authors, first ladies and attorneys general. Just to name a few.

Half of them are men, and half of them are women. Half of them are fictional, and half of them are real. If you can't figure out who some of them are, I listed their names and a brief description of each, which you can find on the From WCL page.

Also in this issue: An interview with Lynne Stewart, the criminal defense attorney who Ashcroft indicted for allegedly aiding her terrorist client after the DOJ listened to supposedly private conversations between the two in prison. So much for attorney-client privilege!

Juliet remembers her uncle's loving, friendly and quite humorous manner on the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

I also recount my experience as a DC prospective juror. It's like going to hell, but hotter and less fun.

Your RDA of wine & cheese is back. Well, at two pages, maybe not your entire RDA. But Greg drew a funny cartoon, and I made an absurdly easy crossword puzzle.

What's that? You want the answers to the crossword?

You cheater!

Well, those can only be found on our Web page...

[Web editor note: Yeah, okay. So you're here already. I'm touched! I may even cry a little. Keep reading anyway.]

See how sneaky I am? I lure you in unsuspectedly with my little crossword and then BAM! You have to go to the new Web page!

I'm an evil genius, I am.

But you should want to go to the new Web page! I'm going to provide links that will supplement stories, as well as post advance stories before they go to press. And there are message boards where you can talk to each other.

And this issue - like all future ones this year - was uploaded as little as a week before you grabbed this copy off the stands.

Just think. You could have read this before anyone else. You would have been special!

One final note: If this issue seems unnaturally biased against BIGLAW and the students who seek to suck at its teat, well, that's because you didn't submit anything!

With bitter affection,


Angela N. White
