As of July 1, many people are still writing or revising third papers.
Unfortunately, the system is applying pressure for the release of
grades. These grades, as I have mentioned before, are actually just
meat grades: you are supposed to be labeled "choice" or "prime," right
now. Aside from all the usual stupidities with grades (see
EvaluationPolicy), putting a meat-quality stamp on you is not
only undignified this year, it's absurd, because the carnivores in the
system are at present toothless. Although the law school is insisting
on going ahead with the disgusting theater of humiliation that is the
Early Interview Program (and which I again remind you that none of you
should attend as a mere mental health matter), the parties who usually
benefit from their swaggering and preening opportunities are
functionally if not financially bankrupt: they will have no real jobs
to offer in the end, in return for their condescension and
unwarrantable interference in the education you are trying to get.
So the current attempt to work the usual substitution of meat grades
for real mentoring is particularly threadbare. But just because the
world is different doesn't mean law school will change. As you will
have seen, I am actively editing papers and providing comments. Now I
will stop doing useful work in order to guess what your meat grade
ought to be. Thursday, 2 July, I will submit provisional grades.
These grades can and will change. My own editorial process will
probably make some modifications in ranking necessary: at the margins,
that may change a grade. Revisions you are doing on your own work
will undoubtedly produce changes in some cases to the
"effort, commitment, improvement" ratings of your work overall. So
provisional grades are, well, provisional.
In order to prevent the psychic distress of having a provisional grade
lowered, the grades initially submitted will be conservative,
leaving room for adjustment during either my editorial process or
yours.
Our wiki embodies the principle of continuous revision, as our course
does. I will be finished commenting on all present work by the
end of next week, and the provisional grades will be updated
when I am done. Students who continue to revise their work will
receive updated evaluations, which may also necessitate grade
changes.
Meat grades had apparent importance in relation to an employment
system that was bad for young lawyers. That system is now suffering
the initial infarction that will over the next five years lead to a
well-deserved death. Please don't spend too much time over the next
weeks worrying about your meat grades. Your job is getting an
education that will prepare you to succeed in the new professional
organization of law practice, where expertise is sold instead of
time. What you need is mentoring, not meat grading. Take no
substitute and keep your eyes on the prize, which is freedom.
Be well. See you soon.

First drafts of first essays will be due by close of business on Friday, 27 February. You may write on any topic of your choosing, using not more than 1,000 words. Connection to the readings, themes or ideas of the course is necessary, but the idea to be presented is your own. See FirstPaper? for further instructions and a simple method for creating the necessary wiki topic.
| | | In addition to web-based materials, we will be discussing Thorstein Veblen, Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), available in numerous cheap editions. If you prefer reading that too on-line, you can have the entire text at your fingertips here. (We still have some remnants of a public domain). |

Note: Please be aware of what "Parent" topic you select when creating or editing a page. The topic parent is what the Index uses to organize pages. I have moved most pages to the new PersonalIntros page or the top level LawContempSoc parent where relevant. Topic parents are easy to change: there is a box for them below the text area in every page's edit view. Using them correctly makes it much easier for people to find what they're looking for by scanning the index rather than using the search box.
For other hints on optimal use of the wiki, see GoodStyle.
