Law In Contemporary Society Outline

Line: 190 to 190
 I enjoyed reading your iteration of Eben's powerful 'transcript' throughout this semester. Another line I'd include is as follows: "To go from the particular to the general, back to the particular, not because of the consequence of an algorithm, but because of who you have become--this is essentially lawyering."

Thank you, I appreciate this! It was an interesting experience to read Eben’s spoken words as written ones. I assume that people fixate on different things in the class, and I think this could be a useful framework to see that.

The concepts that electrified me the most were clarification (“the key is to clarify inside so we can understand others”) and change (“change happening at gunpoint...Ovid/Augustus"). I also got excited about random metaphors used in class, like “crossing the Rubicon,” and the music Eben played (Waltz for Matilda, Billie Holiday - I’ll Be Around No Matter How You Treat Me Now...) So my personal "outline" mostly ended up focusing on those moments. Most of all, I would love to add the title of the jazz piece Eben played, "It Never Entered My Mind," as a sort of epitaph to the class.
