Dearest 1Ls: You are almost done with your first year! Congrats! As much as you would love to just kick up your heels and totally veg out, more work is around the corner. EIP is coming this summer and you have to prepare for it—or not. The first step is deciding whether you want to do EIP at all. In…

In memory of Jackson Alberts, member of the CLS 2015 family.
Jackson Alberts and friends. Photo provided by Tochi Onyebuchi. Jackson was the first guy I ever saw talk back to a law professor. Not respond. But talk back. Where we stammered, he bantered. Where we stumbled, he danced. That isn’t to say he was a good law student. It is more to say he enjoyed hea…

“There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there, you’ll be free if you truly wish to be.” - Roald Dahl When I joined the Muckraker as the Art Director last year, my reason for doing so (I must confess) was simple and selfish: I needed to escape the realities of law school. We…

At the end of the Millions March protest last December, a group of Columbia Law School students simply kept walking. The streets of New York City had been calm, though filled with a larger and more diverse crowd than at previous protests, as the March’s lead organizers had hoped when they asked for…

Good books are the best escape from dreary weather! #JudiciouslyReviewed #Wanderlust #SometimesIRead

#MuckOnwardAndUpward #ForGreenerPastures #MagicMosaic
There’s something eerily fascinating about the concept of looking at yourself in the mirror. You see an image of yourself that is at once so familiar, yet foreign; a view of where you are and where you’ve been, the times you’ve laughed and the times you have cried, traces of those you have loved and…

"...we lift ourselves up and do the unimaginable: continue to hope, while knowing that our hopes will be compromised again. We strive, we remain resilient. We do more than dream." #BlackLivesMatter #Solidarity #Muckraking
So how do we move forward when we find ourselves at our wit’s end? How do we plan our next steps when the sting of injustice cripples us? How do we imagine a better tomorrow when clouded by the trauma of yesterday? That’s the thing about the struggle—it demands that we lick our wounds and press on,…

MARCH INFO
Attn: Muckrakers!! Volunteers are needed for #MillionsMarchNYC Legal Team. The goal is for this protest to remain a peaceful, family-friendly event, so it is critical that there is an ample number of volunteers on the legal team to prevent any complications with the police. Please message Lily Vo (CLS 2015, NYC Legal Team Head-Organizer) at [email protected] if you are interested in assisting in this effort.

They marched peacefully, and yet they were met with tear gas and rubber bullets on Wednesday night of…
#StudentVoices #BlackLivesMatter #OurCLS
We debated our options regarding the structure of the protest, aware of the few hours available to plan. Someone suggested we wear all black, but we had done that already just the week before. It felt insufficient; it was insufficient. A sit-in or a rally would be too disruptive, not to mention impo…
Dear 1Ls: You got this!!! #EndInSight #MuckOn
Illustrated by Minji Reem (Original Photograph by Nolan Thomas) Dear 1Ls, It is November.

November 1Ls are a completely different breed fro…
Finals might be around the corner, but style lives on!! #LegalLionLivery #MuckingAround
Maybe it’s because Thanksgiving is just around the corner and Christmas not far behind, but I’m feeling a little nostalgic. This usually happens to me every year—about the same time Starbucks resurrects those beautiful little red cups out of some mysterious stock room like clockwork. I really love t…

Jerome Greene Hall (JG) is not as traditionally attractive as many of the other buildings at Columbia University. In comparison to its stately siblings on main campus, our toaster-esque home outside the main gates is a quirky cousin with eclectic and sometimes questionable taste in interior design.…

My throat feels sore from talking. I have been talking for days. Seated in Professor Sturm’s living room with some battle-weary folk. Sitting now on my porch in snow-capped Colorado. It is peaceful and quiet here, but I can’t escape heated images of flames, of rage, of desperation. I feel overwhelme…
#ArtOfListening #Muckraking
The night of November 24, 2014, I was 3,000 miles away from home. I’d had the Guardian Liveblog of the Ferguson Grand Jury proceedings up, and I contemplated powering through the night, despite my 8am class the next morning. But I fell asleep. Even knowing how the movie would end, I woke up the morn…
