“A recent research paper published in the Law and Society Review found that the petitions arriving over the summer had a 16 percent worse chance of being accepted by the Court. The three researchers believed the reluctance of new clerks to recommend cases was part of the reason for the lower acceptance rate. The New York Times’ Adam Liptak wrote in August about how seasoned attorneys try to avoid having their petitions on the long-conference calendar. Liptak spoke with Gregory Garre, a former solicitor in the George W. Bush administration, about the long conference’s reputation. ‘Given the numbers, as counsel, you really have to try your best to avoid the summer list, though sometimes it is unavoidable,’ Garre said. ‘Fortunately, as tough as the odds are, the cream can still rise to the top.'”

Maybe it was a good thing Cynthia Rapp and the others tried to prevent my pleadings from being submitted…Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that their actions constitute a deliberate obstruction of justice.

i never thought i would say that the library has almost become my second home….lol.

For the last four years, I’ve spent 99% of my time studying at the Jefferson Market Library, but on Tuesday, I paid a visit to the historic Stephen A. Schwarzman Building for the first time. With all of the tourists, it’s a pretty noisy place, but it felt great putting in eight hours preparing for the next stages of my case, with so many other great minds. I was mad to learn that the infamous Rose Main Reading Room was closed, so I stayed in the Map room instead. Definitely check these two libraries out if you’re in the city!
