Sorry for the lack of updates over the last month, but there realy hasn’t been any moviement on the law school front. My apartment in London is now basically set up and I’m continually moving (non-critical, non-expensive) stuff in there. My goal is to be living in London full-time by mid-August.

I have also been asked to write a short column for Amicus Curiae, the UWO Law student newspaper, regarding issues such as why I chose law generally and Western specifically. This comes after the editor of that paper noticed my posts on this blog as well as on LawIsCool.

Hopefully the next update will take less than a month as things start moving at a slightly faster pace.

I would like to draw my readers’ attention to another blog entitled LawIsCool. Thanks to Omar Ha-Redeye, founder of LawIsCool, I am now an account holder and blogger there. LawIsCool looks at the substantive issues in Canadian and International law today and has a wide readership (it gets over 4,0o0 unique hits every day). The writers are predominantly law students.

To make it clear, this blog will continue and will deal with issues of law school (what I’m learning, stresses of exams, etc.) in hopes that it will be helpful to future law students. All the substantive stuff, the information and my opinions about trends in Canadian and International law, will be posted at LawIsCool.

Not much news with me, that’s why there hasn’t been a post for a while. I’ve been busy with schoolwork and other stuff. I haven’t heard any more news from law schools, but three of the six law schools I applied to haven’t accepted anyone yet. Of the three that started their acceptance process, two sent out only a handful of applications and the third one is my beloved UofT.

This blog also got attacked recently. Some posts now have over 1,000 comments, most of them nonsensical (such as casino451346457). Some are just spam. Please ignore until I find a way to get rid of them. I may just pull all comments, I’ll have to think about it (or remember some of my programming skills and get rid of them selectively at the database level). I updated the blogging software and strengthened spam security, so it shouldn’t happen again.

<EDIT>: I did in fact delete comments at the database level and kept the ones that were posted by humans. It really helps that the nearly 3,000 spam comments came from a total of 5 IP’s. Needless to say, those IPs are now banned.</EDIT>

Also, I’m being noticed in the bLAWgosphere, which is interesting. If you have your own bLAWg or know something ahout law/law school, please don’t hesiste to comment.
