Still no grades. Apparently, we will get our Legal Writing grade tomorrow. But might have to wait up to two more weeks to get the rest of our grades.
I had my first Civ Pro class with my new Prof. I think that I will enjoy this semester of Civ Pro much more than my last semester. My new Prof is bright, funny and seems to practice a teaching method that I will enjoy.
Today we discussed Ashcroft v. Iqbal a recent supreme court case involving the legality of the Guantanamo detainment practices. From a legal standpoint the case revolved around pleading standards and qualified immunity. We analyzed the oral argument which included all the comments of the supreme court justices. If you want to take a look at the transcript you can find it here.
On an unrelated note, due to a poorly designed bus pass program, Seattle U is not offering bus passes for the month of January. They only sell passes for the first ten days of the month - school returned on the 12th of January. I can buy a pass after the 20th but it will only be good for the month of February. So, for the rest of this month I'm walking or paying 1.75 both ways. (A bus pass would save me about $30 even on this shortened month.) I sent an email to a school administrator raising this issue. I'm not sure if I sent it to the best person (I sent it to the dean for student affairs), and I'm not sure if they'll care much about bus passes, but I thought I'd see if I could at least bring the issue to someone's attention.

WOW! That's too bad. I think you did the right thing to raise it to others. I wish my school had reduced or free bus rides. I pay 55 a month for my bus pass! But it still beats driving.
