As expected, the experience of transferring to the U has been like starting all over again. Meeting new people, getting to know professors and faculty, and new surroundings have all made the past few months feel like my first year again. However, I am now feeling much more comfortable here. The U seems more laid back than Thomas Jefferson, although I am not sure if it's just being a 2L (first year is scary and intimidating!) or just the differences between schools. That being said I do have a test next Thursday that I need to cram for!
Much has happened since September: my note for the Journal of Law and Family Studies for publication (I will post a link to it for those who are super bored!), I started working for the DA's office (crim law rules), I am very close to getting an offer from Best Best & Krieger for this summer, and I am now president of the U's new Business Law Society (business law rules too). My Accounting for Lawyers professor just started here after teaching at Loyola Law School in Chicago for the last 13 years. He helped establish a Business Law Society there and asked me to help him do the same here. We have some really cool events forthcoming - Tara....you should join! We are going to tour the Zions Bank trading floor and Huntsman business headquarters, (and others...like Xango!), organize guest speakers and panels at the law school, and establish a mentoring program so students can see what the real business law world is like from practicing attorneys here in Salt Lake. Yay!
One of the toughest parts about being a law student is choosing a particular area to focus on. This is probably obvious from the things I am doing: family law, criminal law, and business law. But hey, why not get to learn about multiple areas? Besides if I ever have a client who is arrested while simultaneously going through a divorce and starting a business, think of the cost effective service I could provide :) Or, I suppose white collar criminal law combines business law and criminal defense or prosecution. Who knows?
Do you all think I should where my judge outfit (including powdered wig) to the DA's office tomorrow? I can't wait for the party tomorrow night....jello shooters, here I come!!!!!!

Congrats on being president. With all your interests sounds like you are ready to get your private practice up and running. I will run the satellite office at a kiosk at the mall. One side selling yogurt and other side law advice. Think of all the clients. HA. Hope the party was a blast.
The party was fun. I second the motion for a law/yogurt kiosk :)
And yes, congrats Mr. President.
Lol, the "Presidency" fell into my lap. Personally, I don't think I am qualified...guess we'll find out if I get impeached!
How are you Mr. Kang - I am sorry I have been so out of touch lately. I have an important test on thursday and then will be able to relax a bit.
We are so excited to come to SD at the end of December! Can we go to Yogurt World every night??
Henry, we will have our own law practice someday! Let's do it. have you ever seen the show The Practice?
Thanks Summer - you are the first lady :)
What a power couple. I can see it in 2016. Your Chief of Staff is right here.
Goodluck on your exam.
So Yogurtworld for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for you apparently. Summer and I will get real food while you are there. Can't wait.
Congrats on having a girl!!
