Dear Brunette and Brunetter,
Who are you? Why can’t we have Adolfo and Jordan back? –Anonymous
Dear Anonymous, Good thing you left your name out, otherwise we would come and find you. Jordan and Adolfo have gone on to greener pastures and are currently studying for their state’s bar exam. After that, Jordan will be a full fledged Judge Advocate General in the United State’s Marine Corp. As for Adolfo, look for him at your next bachelorette party jumping out of cakes in his finest Chris Farley outfit. Regardless, they are long gone, so do yourself a favor and forget them. You are stuck with us!
Dear Brunette and Brunetter,
What is this Barrister’s Ball I keep hearing about and what should I expect?–Dancing Dan
Dear Dancing Dan,The best way to describe Barrister’s Ball is “Law Prom.” It’s like high school prom without your mom. Yes, you need to dress up- girls wear long dresses and guys wear suits. It’s fancier than Boat Cruise and for the guys out there, you don’t need to wear tuxes, unless you feel the need to out-do every other guy there. As for the girls, keep the poofy dresses for the high school reunion.It will be a long evening- the festivities begin at 6 pm and end at midnight. Don’t worry about anyone spiking the punch, a five-hour open bar awaits. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint, professors will be watching! Afterwards, everyone ventures out to the local bars.
In closing, we leave you with a little piece of advice from one of our esteemed colleagues who shall remain anonymous. Make good decisions. Should you overindulge at the open bar (we understand none of you will, but just in case), make sure you have a reliable means of transportation that does not involve you in the driver seat. Should you choose to walk home, make sure to do so carefully as the conditions may be icy and prone to falling. Should you fall and injure yourself, make sure you have a cell phone with plenty of battery or else you may end up wallowing in the snow and ice for quite some time. Should you require medical attention from such a fall, make sure you have an extensive health insurance policy as the law school’s policy is extremely basic to say the least. Put on your best duds and drink some suds. Cheers to VUSL behaving like barristers for an evening.
