Vegas Glad For Phils Win

It’s funny how gambling keeps coming up here. Some of us here at FTH like the gambling more than others. I don’t mind it, but don’t do it all that much. It just seems to offer some good fodder for hypoing.

Did you see this? Two large sports books in Las Vegas declared the Philadelphia Phillies [...]

Senator for Life?

It’s not every day that a sitting U.S. Senator goes on trial for corruption. So watching Ted Stevens get clobbered with eight counts of failure to report “gifts” is something to see. Some of us had speculated that the crappy job the Feds did in putting on the case would actually set the old man [...]

We so strongly agree with his motivation and are so pleased that espn360.com is also available at our law school that we cannot but share in his joy and [...]

Evidence Is Not The Place to Fight The Hypo

The title of this blog notwithstanding there are actually areas where you shouldn’t fight the hypo. Evidence is one such time. As BigShow has intimated, it’s not the best class we’ve ever had. But it’s an important topic and our professor approaches the exam the way more professors should – it’s like the Bar [...]
