The rising number of google search hits I am getting for variations of “Dennis University of Minnesota law student” is probably a good indication that more UMN 1Ls are discovering the website.

Hi.

A few quick things:

• This is a personal blog. There’s a handy disclaimer page here. The gist is that the posts on this site are not an official representation of our school. So don’t worry, the excessive dog posts are not negatively impacting the value of your degree. I think?
• A semi-exhaustive outline of my first semester experience is here, and an outline of my spring semester is here. The point is that law school is fun and the winter is survivable. Everyone’s experience is unique, but you will survive with the help of coffee and long underbritches.
• If you want to know why I blog, that post is here.
• Yes, I’m “that kid” who got shot. That post is here.
• You can stop the dirt dig before you start. This blog has a steady readership and there’s nothing particularly scandalous on it. The pseudonyms “Jack and Jill” are used to quote about 50 different people, and although the quotes are funny, nothing is embarrassing or malicious.

And if you feel inspired to start your own blog, read over this list first so you won’t get in trouble.

Welcome, and go Mondale High!
