Today at Law School I learned

"What good is a right to same-sex marriage if there is systemic homophobia that is preventing you from being out in your workplace?" when learning about Charter remedies in Constitutional Law.

"If you're going to practice Witchcraft, makes sure your do it right!" in Criminal Law when learning about lord knows what. Mens Rea and subjective tests maybe.

Therein lies the brilliance of the difference between GC and RJ. One is brilliant in a constructive way and is a brilliant teacher. One is...brilliant it would seem maybe.

Also one of them rewarded the people who got the highest score based on the merit system with tickets to the Vagina Monologues. I did not get that. The tickets came with a disclaimer that not everyone wants to see their professor talk about her vagina for two hours, and that others in the room may appreciate them. I can think of one person who would love to hear GC talk about her vagina for two hours. SHe also came in this morning and announced, "I was laying in bed this morning, and I know some of you might not want to think of that, and I was listening to all the university closures and school closures and UVic open!". I definitly thought of that...and she definitly loved to come in and speak to us about remedies. Us, who are all stressed out memo cases and who haven't done the readings clearly. Stress levels are high. Breakdowns could come at any time. It's intense. It's poisonous...except for a beacon of light that is constitutional.

I think I was gonna print off cases to read tomorrow. I know that sounds terrible. It is.

as a follow up to the law school theme... i just uttered this phrase for the first time ever, "WestlaweCarswell...bitches..." too much legal reserach? maybe...

Hey - don't underestimate the serious crime that is fraudulently practising witchcraft.
