Timing, Mooting, Injustice
Sounds like ConLaw, but no, we're in the land of CivPro here. I now understand the "Collateral Order Doctrine" re: interlocutory appeals. This is a small triumph. No applause please, again, just throw money.
But then there's that damned preclusion doctrine (a.k.a. collateral estoppel and res judicata)and mutuality and offensive v. defensive preclusion and what's a countervailing federal interest on the RDA side of the whole Erie/choice of laws analysis? Nevermind. I'm not really asking. Just spewing random bits at this point.
My brain was not made for this.

Two Day Tick-Tock
The countdown is on. I'll spare you the angst and just recommend another bit of music to study by.
Hovering helicopters provided the soundtrack almost all day yesterday, presumably surveilling the IMF/World Bank protest. Barriers everywhere down town. Police overkill. Today they'll probably repeat the performance for the March for Women's Lives. I hope to take a study break and go, but I was introduced to so much new material in CivPro yesterday that I'd just never even seen before that I don't know if I can afford the break. Who even knew additur and remittitur were words!?
UPDATE: Just to note the great links recently at Three Years of Hell (who appears to have entirely too much time for political commentary at the moment—I can't keep up!) and buzzwords.
