Except for certain periods of panicky and a general loss of sleep,
I thought the first year was pretty interesting, and I didn't lose
interest as I continued in law school. I'm told I'm an exception on

We're not quite at the stage where we can support EFF chapters, although
we'll want your help when we reach that stage. We're still waiting for
