The adventures of a middle aged law student

dependent relative revocation

Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Who comes up with these names?  It's a sort of "oops, can I have a do-over?" legal doctrine.  We move on to Wills and Trusts, and on again to Professional Responsibility.  And on.  The line up seems endless.  What began as an attempt to keep up in assimilating the onslaught has come to this:  a whimpering child slunk down behind the garbage can, hoping for an end soon to the snowballs flung by the neighborhood bully.  When will they run out of snow over there?

Alas, this thing has been done before, so surely it can be done again.  We mark ourselves against each other, against the national averages, we cringe at missed issues in an exam, and wonder how it was we could forget so much.  We laugh about the daily, almost hourly crisis of confidence that is followed by a sense of competency, followed yet again by darkness and doom.  I can't, I must, I will, oh shit.  All in a day's work.
