...that pretty much says it all about this year's Law School extravaganza. Summery Proceedings. There's certainly no evidence that anyone's screwed the set designer this year, but the theme remains, as always, the potentially deleterious effects of legal education on otherwise decent people. And for the umpteenth consecutive winter, no one from outside the Law School community will find the show at all entertaining...
