“When I used to teach civil procedure as a law professor, I would begin the year by telling my students that “civil procedure is the etiquette of ritualized battle.” The phrase, which did not originate with me, captured the point that peaceful, developed societies resolve disputes by law rather than by force.” YearsLawUsedForceTeachStudentsBattlePeacefulPhrasesResolveProfessorsDisputesEtiquetteProceduresCaptured Author:Anne-Marie Slaughter

“Despite the apparent absoluteness of the First Amendment, there are any number of ways of getting around it, ways that are known to any student of law.

“Most students of nature sooner or later pass through a process of writing off a large percentage of their supposed capital of knowledge as a merely illusory asset. As we trace more accurately certain familiar sequences of phenomena we begin to realize how closely these sequences, or laws , as we call them, are hemmed round by still other laws of which we can form no notion. With myself this writing off of illusory assets has gone rather far and the cobweb of supposed knowledge has been pinched (as some one has phrased) into a particularly small pill.” WritingHas BeensStillsFormLawCertainProcessRealizingGoneStudentsNotionRoundsFamiliarPhenomenonAssetsSooner Or LaterPillsSequencePercentagesIllusoryCobwebs Book:Presidential Addresses to the Society for Psychical Research, 1882-1911 Source: Presidential Addresses to the Society for Psychical Research, 1882-1911
“Debt is a trap, especially student debt, which is enormous, far larger than credit card debt. It’s a trap for the rest of your life because the laws are designed so that you can’t get out of it.
