So thankful for all the danger that Westlaw has protected me from by logging me out every 10 minutes. Someone could have snuck up and learned the 9th Circuit’s standard for abuse of discretion while my back was turned.

Hi I'm Blaine a 2L at WashU. I'm interested in patent and IP law with a background in neuroscience. I've been struggling to find many connections in the field so I wanted to put this out here to see if anyone would be willing to chat about their work

Gibson Hall: Randall Gibson was a brigadier general in the CSA who was thankfully terrible at his job, losing every single battle and campaign he was in charge of in his fight to uphold slavery. The View from Gibson was not one to emulate or celebrate.

There is no reason to continue to memorialize a bunch of men who didn't believe that members of the Tulane and New Orleans communities were equally human. There are innumerable people from Tulane and New Orleans that have made the world better.

People like Anna Epps or Andrew Schally deserve to be honored. Not a bunch of racist assholes who just threw some money at the university. Tulane needs to do better at so many things but one of the simplest is to not memorialize these terrible people anymore.

Tilton Memorial Hall: Frederick W. Tilton was a slave owning Confederate supporter who went so far as to travel all the way to England to attempt to buy weapons for the CSA until Gen. Butler (not of dorm name) captured New Orleans and seized Tilton's property.

Hebert Hall: F. Edward Hébert was a staunch segregationist during his 36 years in Congress, signing the Southern Manifesto in opposition to the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. He proclaimed he was in a "war against Civil Rights".

Paul Tulane was the largest Confederate donor in New Orleans and donated post war to erect a Confederate monument in the Greenwood Cemetery but I don't think that that name is in contention for change unless University of Louisiana opens back up.

Howard-Tilton Memorial Library: Charles T. Howard maintained a lie that he fought in the Tennessee militia because that's something he saw as a positive thing to lie about and made his fortune bribing the Louisiana legislature to let him run a lottery.

Got immense respect for Coach Fritz what he’s done at Tulane and how he’s been a genuinely wonderful person in the community. Probably deserves a statue outside Yulman once he retires. But football is a sport for haters so I hope Houston goes 0-12 every year.

This is the same treatment Derrius got at Catholic. Admin would put up with all his bad behavior because he looked like the second coming of Warick Dunn minus all the off the field character that made Warick Dunn the man he became.
She says "the coach" at LSU (presumably Orgeron) called her after she reported it to the school and said "please forgive him because he's a troubled child." She requested he not be allowed to play in the Citrus bowl but Ausberry and Segar later told her "that would never happen"

I like 11:59 deadlines to not take away time from people who are working, have kids, etc. things that prevent them from working during the day. It’s only a couple hours between 5 and 12 but when you’re finishing an assignment that can feel like a huge difference.

Louisiana's electoral system requires a simple majority to win. So everyone running for the seat is on the ballot on Nov 3rd and then in the likely case that no one gets over 50% of the vote there is another election on Dec 5th between the top 2 of the Nov 3rd election.
