Finally finished
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while; I know that this annoying blog is the only light in many people’s lives. I finally finished the arguments section of the brief. I extra line before hitting the page limit, so maybe I can think of a witty closing sentence. Crap, I just realized that I still need a conclusion, so I’m going to have to cut out a few more lines. I’m not sure why I’m typing in the stream of consciousness, but why not?
Also, I actually got a job yesterday. Oh happy day. Now I have to start cramming for finals again.

CONGRATULATIONS on your job! That is great news!
yes, sam! congrats! now, do you owe p-man a dollar or something like that? and i sure wish i'd finished my brief several days in advance, but i guess i'm a sucker for punishment. i finished it with only 20 minutes to spare. whew!
congrats on the job!
yeah sukkah, where's my dollar? i'm already charging interest, yo.
oh yeah, mazal tov on the job ;)
Thanks everybody, hopefully I won't get fired too quickly.
P-Man: The offer of the bet was:
"I will bet you $1 (one dollar) that I will not get a job this summer at any of the firms to which I have thus far mailed a resume."
That was on 2/17/05, and I sent the app to Flemming & Associates on 3/16/05. Since the job I got was not sent at the point of the offer, I believe I still win. Now I'm charging post-judgment interest.
that is a good argument. in response, i raise the doctrine of promissory estoppel. failing that, i raise the doctrine of welching. that is, welching on the deal is totally lame and you're being a loser.
failing that, you're violating my rights to due process and i'm requesting an injunction on the interest payments.
I am familiar with the concept of welching, but it's more of a cause of action than an affirmative defense. You are the one attempting "to avoid doing something you have promised to do, especially not to pay a debt."
For your due process concerns, I'll gladly submit to binding arbitrations with any reasonable party of your choosing. Barring that, I'm going to steal your power cord to recover the debt.
As a nearly-second-year law student at the college with the best Advocacy program in the Nation, allow me to volunteer my services as an arbitrator. My view is completely unbiased; I will offer the dollar to whomever presents the most compelling argument and provides me with the most money in exhange for my vote.
I think this is what Kelso was talking about with unconscionably biased arbiters. But we are in red state, so I'll offer a shiny quarter for a favorable ruling (if P-Man takes the bait and accepts your offer).
Or you could go with someone who is in no way shape or form to be confused as a non-biased arbiter as I clearly loathe you all. I will manage to find a way to make you both lose which will probably result in you both having to pay me.
Yes this sounds good.
