How Law Schools Could Improve Law Firm Diversity
Last Friday I opened an invitation to my law school reunion and I realized how far I have come since my days as a 1L. I can hold my own with Westlaw and if my life depended on it I could still write a brief. I even remember a few of those zany Civil Procedure cases. Most important, though, I learned that none of these skills, alone, will make a law student into a firm partner.
My alma mater, like most of other law schools in America, did not prepare its students, particularly those from historically underrepresented backgrounds, for navigating their careers in law firms. For today's law schools to continue stressing the importance of Pennoyer v. Neff, rather than teaching its students about the business of law firms is absolutely criminal.

American Splendor
I don't know why, but I really like Paul Giamatti. I don't know what it is, maybe it's the way he comes across, a pathetic but harmless loser or maybe it's that I'm not used to seeing a bald, hideous, bug-eyed goblin star as a leading man on the big screen. Either way, there is something about seeing that guy in a movie trailer that makes me want to see the movie. But there after watching numerous Paul Giamatti movies, notably Duplicity, Lady in the Water, and Sideways (hiiiiighly overrated); I began to notice that all of his movies kind of suck, especially the ones he plays a large part in. For that reason, I have avoided seeing any Paul Giamatti movies that came out or haven't seen yet. And that brings us to American Splendor, a film released in 2003 starring everyone's favorite diminutive, balding troll of a man. This was a movie I know I SHOULD have seen years ago, but I was never really that enthusiastic about seeing it because I figured it would be another Giamatti suckfest. Thankfully, I was wrong.
American Splendor is the story of one man's life, Harvey Pekar. Harvey Pekar is a comic book writer who was living in Cleveland and began to write comics about the mundane details of his everyday life, which turned out to be anything but. The comic books were titled American Splendor and in them Pekar writes about any and all events; his job as a file clerk, his co-workers, meeting his wife Joyce, and eventually dealing with cancer, all in the terse prose that tiny comic book panels allow. The comics themselves are funny, poignant, and altogether fascinating; showing a side of life that most mainstream storytelling ignores, but that almost everyone can relate to. The movie is sort of a docufictiamentary (I bet that word would be a lot easier to read if I broke it up, docu-ficti-amentary), with Paul Giamatti playing a fictionalized Harvey Pekar, but one that is based heavily on the American Splendor comics. This is intertwined with some voice-overs by the real Harvey Pekar and unscripted scenes with the real Harvey and various people from his life who are also portrayed in the fictionalized portions of the movie. So to recap, it's essentially a fictionalized biography based on comic books that are based on real events which are portrayed by actors and mixed with real scenes by the real people that are the characters in the comic books, and thus the characters played by the actors in the movie. Got it?

Is Undercover Boss the Most Subversive Show on Television?
Is reality TV finally living up to its name?
Most of what we are served up under that rubric is actually the farthest thing from reality. The exploits of Snooki, Jake the Bachelor, and all those Real Housewives hardly reflect life as most of America knows it and lives it.
