Barbara Radnofsky and Cam Kerry
By Jim Dallas
A couple of student organizations here at UH (American Women in Law and the American Constitution Society) hosted a spiffy little lecture by possible 2006 Senate candidate Barbara Radnofsky just now. I was really impressed by Radnofsky, who, as a pre-candidate, has not yet been beamed-up to the political mother-ship. She came across to me as strikingly sincere and down-to-earth, as well as sporting an impressive resume.
Cam Kerry, who is in town for a fundraiser (I think) dropped in for a few minutes to stump for his brother, Big John. A little less approachable than Radnofsky (understandably), but still aware of his audience. Cracked law professor jokes ("I promise I won't call on anybody sitting in the back row..." nyuck nyuck).
OK, enough for now. Got to start paying attention to my Procedure professor (we're tackling the removal statute right now...).

I don't get the last row joke, could someone help us non-law types out...
Well, let's just say that you could get through four years at UT and not speak up in class once (in theory, of course).
The difference (in fact the biggest difference IMHO) in law school is that the professors are actively attempting to call on as many people as possible.
And usually ask the hardest questions of the people who are paying the least attention (maybe that's a Murphy's Law thing). Some professors are nice; whereas others (e.g. my civ pro professor) are like the blankety-blank Spanish Inquisition!
I finally got a nice grilling in Civil Procedure yesterday. I think I did OK.
It's supposedly a "tough love" thing.
