Legal Commentary

As May arrives, law school classes end, and as quickly as possible I find a way out of the quicksand of exam grading.

What's the best way to draw myself out of the quicksand? How best to clear my mind and jump into some summer work?  Deadlines won't inspire me now -- I placed an article in the Spring Law Review Lottery.  None of my projects are far enough along to contemplate an August cycle submission.  I'm truly looking forward to a symposium this summer at Ohio State, dealing with prosecutor discretion, but I can't start work on that manuscript until some data arrives from a research assistant.
So what's the perfect quick-start writing format that will help me put grading and deaning behind me for the summer, even if the larger summer research plans seem indigestible at the moment? I think we've just found another useful role for blogging!
