. . . then you’ll be happy to know that Matt Astle has posted a nice blogged summary of the conference. The summary includes a report about some yahoos on a panel discussing “The Intellectual Connection Between Law and Mormonism.” (Who on Earth would want to talk about that?)
And kudos to Matt, HL, Blaine, Jason, [UPDATE: and Jared, and Zeke], and whoever-the-heck else put together the conference. It was great. (Perhaps because this year it was held at a real law school, unlike in certain years past . . . ;) .)
Yeah, whatever, Kaimi. We all know who’s real and who’s not. (But seriously, thanks for the shout!)
The main credit you missed was Zeke Johnson, who, together with H.L. spawned this idea last year, and who will continue to exert some influence on it in the future.
Those of us involved in the conference would like to hear from others: If you attended, what did you like/not like/think could be improved? Even if you didn’t attend, what would you want to see in an LDS Law Students Conference? We’d love to see some discussion on these points, to make this a fabulous event in the future.
I was at a family gathering last night and when I approached two of my uncles who were standing together, they both mentioned that they lurk here at T&S and they have seen my comments. This kind of thing makes me worry a bit because 1) my moniker fools no one and 2) my relatives get to see my thoughts and I didn’t know it. More and more often I am getting the feeling that there are many many lurkers who are observing us. Beware. :)
But the real reason I’m mentioning this is that one of the uncles, named Barry Wood, stated that he is or was (can’t remember which) in the same ward as a certain Nate Oman.
Perhaps I should mention that the named uncle is also an LDS attorney … so bringing this up was not entirely a threadjack. :)
As long as this is a totally threadjacked thread, is that the Barry Wood who was in the BYU 11th ward in the late 1960’s? If so, tell him hello for me.
I think Jared Pace deserves credit here too.
Oh, yeah, Jared, the guy who e-mailed me about a dozen times about the conference. Duh. I’m kind of slow and I tend to miss the obvious, that’s why I went to law school. . .
