Law Students

Hard

This is exactly what journal tryouts are like:

Evan: Yup. Someone who is on "law review" gets a running start and kicks you in the nuts.

Advisee: Why on earth would I do that?

Evan: Well, thats the tryout. They look at your reaction and see how well you've taken the nut kicking. If you do well enough, you will be accepted onto a journal.

Seriously.  If the softball tournament is the best weekend of law school, the tryout is the worst.  We actually finished the entire tryout and were at Kinko's making copies when we thought about quiting.  There was literally nothing left to do other than stapling and collating and giving up and going to our bed seemed perfectly rational.  Looking back, now that we're on a journal and have several cite checks in the bag . . . we REALLY wish we had. 

In bizarro world where Evan is a peer advisor (Evan's Level 3 Rhino Alert)
