Welcome Luminous Void

Hey, stop the presses! There's finally another GW blog (or blawg) to add to the scant three that I know of already.* Welcome to Luminous Void, a GW 2L who has so far written almost exclusively about RFID law and technology. He/she has a good little RFID primer for us mere mortals who only know enough about the technology to think it can't be good. If you're interested in IP law, Luminous Void promises to be an interesting place to visit. *The other GW blawgs I know of (besides this one) are:
  • Actus Reus, the 2L writer of which I recently learned is a friend of mine. “Hey, do you write a blog?” is just not a question that comes up often in law school so, although he may have known my “real” identity for some time, I had not a clue of his. The gulf between the digital and the physical world can be wide, it seems.
  • Idle Grasshopper, a 1L I haven't met and who hasn't posted in recent weeks, but he's made many interesting observations about law school from the perspective of an evening student balancing both coursework and a full-time job.
  • Veritable Cornucopia, which started as a group blog, but which was maintained primarily by Sam, a GW 3L (who was a 2L when the blog started). Unfortunately, it largely seems he's given up on the project.
  • Life, Law, Libido (aka “L-Cubed”) is written by two GW grads (Matt graduated from GW, too, didn't he?), but since they've graduated, it's a bit of a stretch to continue calling it a GW blog.
Is that it? Am I missing any? If not, again I ask: Why don't more GW students blog? Or perhaps they do, and I just don't know about it? If you're a GW blogger, Hi! Please say hello sometime. I won't bite, I promise.

It's only of historical interest, but some members of the GW Law class of 2003 had "3L in DC" back before they graduated.

Thanks, Professor Kerr. Looks like GW was on the law student blogging cutting edge in 2003. Perhaps it was just the entering class that year (my class) that dropped the ball somehow. I know: Everyone in my class is just such a dedicated student that none of them (or 99.9% of them) have the time for a blog. Yeah, that must be it. It sure would explain my place in the curve. ;-)

Dont you remember orientation? We're like, the best class ever.

luminous: The Dean gives that same speech every year. Currently, the class of '07 is, like, the best class ever.

ai: Yes, Matt graduated with me. Perhaps of historical interest, we both had Professor Kerr for Crim in the fall of '01, and enjoyed him/it immensely.

I know.

I have to agree with luminous. The current class is the best ever, according to the interim dean. I think that mostly it has to do with the inclusion of a former fashion model in our class. And it's despite the presence of people like me, who couldn't even get into lesser law schools that cost a lot less money (thank you, less stringent night student requirements!).
