Law Students

How to Act on Friday, September 11th

No overjoyed, excited countenances.
No walking dejectedly like the world's losiest losers.
No nervous smiles to others you know are applying for clerkships.
No "Hey, Macarena" ring tones during class.
No rushing out of class to answer silently vibrating iPhones.
No calling chambers outside Zeb or in the new courtyard.*
No looking happy. No looking miserable. No looking anything.
No walking dejectedly like the world's losiest losers.
No nervous smiles to others you know are applying for clerkships.
No "Hey, Macarena" ring tones during class.
No rushing out of class to answer silently vibrating iPhones.
No calling chambers outside Zeb or in the new courtyard.*
No looking happy. No looking miserable. No looking anything.
