How the gently caress do you search for docket number on westlaw? All I've got is No. 89–2980 from the DC District in 1992.

When I put that number in as a term searching the DC Circuit, one case comes up, that case references another case with the same name with the docket number you want. Basically it looks like you can get Natural Resources Defense Council v. Reilly, but it has a different docket number and may not be the exact thing you need. However if you're looking for Natural Resources Defense Council v. Reilly, that's what you can get. I think the docket number you have is for a previous case (see FN8 of the case result you get) before Judge Lambreth. This is basically a trial court opinion, not all of which makes it onto westlaw...like the equivalent of a state court trial case, I think. The DC court site only has opinions back to 2005. EDIT: If you have Lexis it comes right up on Lexis, just search the DC Circuit and put in that docket number with quotes around it. EDIT EDIT: Beaten, but I couldn't get the case itself to come up on Westlaw but I could on Lexis. ymmv

His death can't be too far away. Every time I stop thinking about it for a few months, thinking "Oh, there must be an imminent release, it's just been too long" and look at the thread and nope, nothing's changed. Also, the interview process for vac clerkships has turned me into a fullblown, 5 time a week, alcoholic. It's so soul crushing. The worst interview process: a firm gives out 170 ten minute interviews (for 40 places). They then have 6 hours of testing. They then have a cocktail function where you are given business cards to hand out to people you talk to. The next day, HR gets everyone into a room and shows a photo of each person on the screen, and if people like them they throw their cards at the screen. I'm sure you US guys have far more egregious examples but I found this utterly ridiculous.

George RR Martin could bomb the LSAT, go through a Tier 3 Law School and graduate with a 2.0 GPA, and still find a stable highpaying job in Biglaw in the time it'll take for Dance to be released. Think about that.

Draile posted:I think at least he needs to write faster than HBO can produce. It's not bad but it is not as action packed as any of the previous novels by a long shot. It's popular to hate on it, and it is definitely the "worst" of the four published so far, but I don't think it is a bad book by any means. In legal employment news, my JD actually helped me land a very nice promotion this week (as in a nearly 100% pay increase and a much nicer office). Still didn't make it worth it to go to law school but at least I don't feel like a total failure now. In fact, I am pretty loving stoked. I still work at the ABA though so it's often difficult to shake the feeling of being a sonderkommando.

What is dancing with dragons? Is it some sort of childish new show like vampire diary? I had to watch that rubbish last night because the missus secretly tampered with our Netflix account and pushed rumpole off the list. Also, civ 5 is going to suck just as hard as the last four incarnations. Since it’s coming out tomorrow, I’m going to see if they’ve made it historically accurate yet, but otherwise there’s no way I’m touching it. You lot always cry about tanks being defeated by hoplites (perfectly possible), yet never mention that Gandhi has been the leader of the Indian Empire for the last 2,000 years.

I had my Career Services 'forget' to tell me that I was going to have to buy a ticket to the east coast for an interview until the firm called me like a week before the interview to finalize plans. Also, 30 actual firms at OCI? 10ish of them from Minnesota and thus only taking 1-2 Wisconsin students in a GOOD year? Combine that with 3 of the four biggest firms in state only taking 2-3 students and we're all hosed. There are like 20 jobs worth the name for about 280 of us to pass around. If you aren't in the t14 you should steel yourself for shitlaw. It's all you're gonna get.
