Thursday Update

A brief survey of the legal aid blog world:

CVLAS Richmond is reporting that LAJC and CVLAS got a pretty cool grant from the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation.

Maybe we can use that money to buy people some happiness. Priscilla, our resident law-intern-by-day-CPA-by-night, is currently calculating how much happiness $50k can buy. According to Princeton, we are $25k short of the $75k needed for deep, personal satisfaction.

LAJC Boiler Room has our sports coverage, which you won't want to miss. Turns out Mr. Murashige can hang with the Sharklord. In racquetball at least.

Dirty South has some pretty cool coverage of the actual work that legal aid interns do. Well, at least, the work that we would do with a third-year practice license.

And Bunker Room has... motivational videos. We actually do work, we promise.

Keep your eyes out for a user by the name "BoilerMaster-BunkerBuster" who may or may not be the LAJC Executive Director aka "the big boss man." Moderately well-known fact: Big boss man traces some of his roots to AppalReD, the Appalachian Research and Defense Fund. AppalReD is a very cool organization -- I got to work there for a week this past spring. I highly recommend the Alternative Spring Break Trip to their Prestonsburg, KY office if you get a chance. (If you're not UVa Law, try setting up an ASB trip of your own to help out -- lots of other schools went there as well).

We're looking for blogs from all the other LAJC and CVLAS offices. Anybody know where they are?

Also, Boiler Room is looking for the login information for the old boiler room site. Does anybody out there know who worked as an intern in LAJC last summer?

In other news, NY Post has some informative headlines for today's news. "Weiner Pulls Out," "Weiner Wraps it Up" etc. Also, there's a page where you can vote on the best Weiner headlines. If you feel like being a thirteen-year old boy, I suggest heading over there.

Keep going strong. We're doing good work.
