A crucial lawyering skill best taught at high altitudes, in the foggy mountains of East Asia, by an unremittingly cruel and forbidding sensei. The pupil should be forced to subsist only on a diet of insects and tree bark, must punch out memos until his or her fingers bleed, and must learn to live without sleep -- permanently. Whenever the pupil makes a mistake, he or she must be severely beaten with a Bluebook to the point of unconsciousness.
The training will culminate in a series of near-impossible tests, which may or may not involve the following: fighting rabid panda bears; swimming across a mighty river while carrying a boulder; interviewing pretend clients; retrieving a precious jewel from each of the 94 Federal judicial districts; dueling a demon to the death; and solving ancient riddles.

Get the Legal Shit mug.Expression referring to an instructor's frustration (literally: mechanical pencil lead breaking under excessive comment writing pressure) while marking a student paper which violates both instruction and Standard American English.
After having marked 42 essays that compared and contrasted two poems, nearly every one of them ignoring the pointed lesson of the previous class, by the 43rd I was breaking lead when the student wrote that the poets had "concocted imagery" and employed "religious illusions".

Get the breaking lead mug.A person born into this world, but who truly is not of this world and walks the earth doing his time until the mother ship calls him home.
Mark is a legal alien as he, being a captain in the battle of the sexes, walks the world not believing the atrocities that men bring upon themselves and one another and wishing nothing more than to be brought back to the mother ship.
