Only in Miami? UM Employees get a plastic surgery discount:
The Division of Plastic Surgery is offering Latisse, the FDA-approved eyelash grower, for $125 each, or two for $200. Also, facials are $45, and microdermabrasion treatments are $60 for UM employees. This offer is good through Friday, October 30.
I bet they're short of customers due to the Great Recession.
I’ve written my Torts class a note about my class policies and about how to read and study law. I’m reprinting it here because it may be of interest to other people about to start law school. I’m hiding it below the fold because it’s longer than the average blog posting, and I doubt many others will be interested.
Law students thinking of buying their textbooks online might want to consider this way of doing a bit of social activism at the same time:
California College Democrats launched Textbooks for Change, an innovative program that leverages the Amazon Associates Program, and thousands of student textbook purchases, into cash for California's Courage Campaign and their ongoing efforts to repeal Prop 8. By simply using the link on Textbooks for Change as the portal to Amazon and buying textbooks through the online merchant, approximately 7% of the purchase price goes to support ongoing efforts for marriage equality in California.
Of course, this only works if you support marriage equality….
I am on a jury duty again today. Posting will resume when possible.
Dan's first HuffPo column went online today, Our Fuzzy President Is About To Come Into Focus.
I have jury duty today in the Dade County Circuit Court, down on West Flagler.
I've been called once before, a couple of years ago (see Called for Jury Duty and Jury Duty), but that was for the criminal court. I was part of the venire for a truly horrible case of child molestation, and while prepared to do it, I was very relieved not to be chosen as it sounded as if the evidence would be very graphic and upsetting.
This time it is civil court. Again, though, we have a one-day one-trial system, so if I don't get picked for a case, that's it until next time.
You might think that a law professor has no chance to be on a jury, but in fact that's not the case. A few of my colleagues have sat in actual trials.
See you in court. Maybe.
