A comment on Useless Dicta's blog indicates that she passed away suddenly and unexpectedly back in February. See the comment on this post.
She was part of a small cadre of law school bloggers who have been around since 2006. I am not "Facebook friends in real life" with her, so I just have no way of knowing if the comment is true. Yet, when you read it, I am sure you will believe it is genuine. I do.
She became a better blogger after law school, unlike most of us who get less interesting and more guarded. Her last few posts show she was a woman on her way -- she had landed her dream legal job as a prosecutor and seemed happy in her work. She had a new place to live, grown up furniture, tales of courtroom hilarity, and a 'its complicated' relationship with a boy. I was looking forward to seeing where the upcoming year would take her. She was an open and charming writer, she had a great outlook, and I smiled whenever I saw she had a new post.
Useless Dicta, this is not much of a farewell... I really lack the words... but you will be missed.
