I attended voter protection training earlier tonight at the U of M Law School. It felt really weird to be sitting in the same room and in the exact same spot I occupied for Con Law and Employment Law. I’ll confess to having a few nostalgic pangs as I sat there. For all the times I may gripe about law school, it was three of the most exciting and intellectually charged three years of my life. Which reminds me, I felt kind of sorry for the guy leading the training tonight. The room was filled with maybe 60-70 attorneys and law students who kept peppering the poor man with questions and hypotheticals to the point where you could tell he was getting flustered. This is what happens when you convene a roomful of attorneys; we get all Socratic Method on your sorry ass. Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to Tuesday and playing a small role in the election.
