It seems like most of the weblogs I've looked at over the past few days have some sort of "Best of 2003" list. So I thought I may as well join the club.

BEST LEGAL WORD I LEARNED IN 2003: "Easement"
BEST MEAL IN THE LAW SCHOOL CAFETERIA: The purple things with the brown sauce and white stuff
BEST LAW SCHOOL: Florida International University, because one of the professors e-mailed me in response to a post
BEST LAW SCHOOL RANKINGS: U.S. News
BEST CASEBOOK: Tie -- "Property," "Bankruptcy"
BEST LEGAL REGIME OF 2003: Constitutional democracy
BEST LAW: The one against cars driving on the sidewalk, because otherwise walking outside would suck
BEST LAWYER: The hiring partner at the firm where I accepted my summer offer
BEST WAY TO JUSTIFY LAW SCHOOL TO FAMILY: Telling them what a summer associate gets paid
BEST LEGAL RESOURCE: Library
BEST LOCATION TO PRACTICE LAW: Courtroom
BEST THING THAT IS LEGAL: Tie -- sleeping, eating
BEST LAW-RELATED TV SHOW: "Judging Amy" (I'm serious -- it's really good!)
BEST LAW-RELATED SONG: "The Remedy" (Jason Mraz)

Yes, I'm kind of stupid.
