Statement On Final Grades | |
<
< | I had planned to release final grades yesterday, based on your work so
far. Unfortunately, I fell ill en route back from Korea, and have
been unable to work for more than two weeks. We are now facing
harsher deadlines for the submission of final grades than I had
intended. Many people have made new versions of their work in
anticipation of my comments, so in many cases comments I had prepared
but not edited or loaded before I got sick are now obsolete.
Fortunately, you all can work 100 times faster than I can. We need to
take advantage of parallel effort. Over this coming weekend, July 27
to 29, I will be taking a pass through all second essays, commenting
on the current versions, and suggesting further improvements where I
believe they can be made quickly. If you are available to work on
your essays between now and August 1, please make sure you are
receiving notifications, or check for my comments when they load. I
will make another pass through the entire wiki on August 1 and 2, and
all final grades will be posted on or before August 3. | >
> | Fate has dealt us a tough hand. A week ago, just as I was fully recovered and returning to work, my
younger brother suffered a septic infection that threatened his life. I have now spent days in the
intensive care unit of his DC hospital, sitting by his bedside. He is presently out of danger, but
still seriously ill. I have been working very ineffectively, and I cannot tell when that will change. | | | | |

> | Those of you making the mistake of attending the Egregious Interview Program should consider asking your
interviewers how their firm responds when an associate needs a week or ten days to deal with the hospitalization
of a family member. You will find the answer enlightening, whatever it is.
My first priority now is to read the work and release grades for those who chose to delay their interim
grade, so that no one's transcript will be incomplete "for EIP." I will try to give everyone some help
in rewriting, but I don't know when the hours will be available. I will post information here when I have it.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

< | The work that has been done by members of the class since the end of
the term is extremely impressive in its expression of commitment. I
hope it has proved useful to remain engaged to this extent with law
school during summer employment and other activities. I am
interested, for future course design, in the experiences of those who
did elect to continue to revise work during the summer, as well as
those who chose not to.
For me, this represents the real conclusion of this course, and the
beginning of sabbatical. My commitment to your right of continuous
revision does not expire, but it works differently during the coming
academic year. Though I am neither paid nor employed to work with you
this coming year, and cannot promise to give highest priority to your
revisions, I will continue to monitor the wiki, read and comment on
writing, and take such other measures as are indicated. If you don't
get a response to me in what seems reasonable time, send me email.
I will be in New York during August, and happy to see or talk with
anyone who wants to be in touch. I will be running some errands in
India and Western Europe during September and October, but available
by email. Late in October or early in November I will schedule a
reunion session.
It was a great pleasure working with all of you, and I hope to see you
again before too long. Please be good to yourselves and one another,
and always aim high.
Be seeing you.

Statement On Final Grades
I have today released grades reflecting revisions occurring through July 20, 2010.
The work that has been done by members of the class since the end of
