CLR vs. Lysol

I can certainly appreciate that anxiety/anticipation that is building up in rising 2Ls regarding CLR. But I want to offer this word of caution, echoed in years past by my co-blogger Tom Fletcher. It's a great feeling to know that you are on Boalt's flagship journal, but it's not the end of the world if you're not. Frankly, it opens up your calendar to do more, exciting things. I think journal work is very useful. Thankfully, Boalt has plenty of opportunity for everyone to gain exposure to that work, sometimes in very different contexts.

In sum, I know the comments are going to turn into a clusterf*ck with dejected, self-loathing overachievers actually coming to grips that they are not on CLR. But cheer up. It doesn't hurt you in OCIP, and it's not a magic ticket that you need to get punched on your way to clerkships.
