What, you didn't know I was in law school?  :-D

Beeej featured on Fark.  Took them a while to find your website, I guess.   Way to go Beeej!

At this point, we'd practically forgotten about it ourselves - note the "About Us" page says I'm in my first semester of law school.  Hey, if it sells a few more "Republicans for Voldemort" t-shirts, it's all for the best, but there ain't no way we're getting close to $10K.

Republicans for Voldemort?  Cool!  I never really liked Potter anyway...

Beeeej must have been asleep when they taught contracts in law school.

[Q]Beeeej Wrote:

The question of what "his or her person" means has been answered by the DC Court of Appeals in Duvallon v. DC, 515 A.2d 724 (D.C. 1986). Ms. Duvallon walked back and forth on the plaza at the U.S. Supreme Court building while wearing only a cardboard sign (purporting to be a form of petition) covering the front of her body from the neck to below the knees. Her conviction in superior court was reversed in the Court of Appeals; the following is from their opinion:

The common law of this jurisdiction derives from British precedents observed in Maryland [from which the District of Columbia was formed] in 1801. Courts of that state have construed indecent exposure as the willful and intentional public display of one's private parts or person. When, for example, these terms were applied to males in a number of nineteenth century English cases, the Queen's Bench determined that they served as euphemisms for penis. American common law cases are in accordance with those of England. Hence, "person" in the statute corresponds to genitalia portions of male and female anatomy; by inference then, exposure of one's bare buttocks is not interdicted.

I'm the one who views hockey games merely as something to do before going to Rulloff's and Dino's.

Facetimer makes awfully large assumptions.  The first semester of law school, we weren't permitted to do online research, in order that we'd learn the proper way to do it with the court reports and other texts.  Supposedly that was just in case we ended up working somewhere they didn't have Westlaw or Lexis (which are rather expensive).  I did all the research for what you quoted in good, old-fashioned, physical, paper-and-glue books.  Asshat.

No Westlaw as a 1L? All year? Yeesh. We had to use books for three weeks before regular classes started.

I hope you aren't trying to get anyone to believe that you never violated the policy as a student, Beeej (or, for that matter, Facetimer). If so, you were the first.

Even if you did, I know that you weren't the worst offender. I graduated law school with that guy.

How did you get "all year" from "first semester"?
