i've got Big Bird on the fishing line...

I received my grades today. Interestingly, they don't resemble my Stanford Law School grades at all. These grades are much higher. I thought this was rather odd, given that I didn't notice any real difference in the level of difficulty of the course materials, or in the aptitude of the students, between the two schools. If anything, I'd say that HLS folks are a bit more serious, more academic, and more intellectual. At any rate, I'm not complaining!

This leads me to the only possible conclusion: Despite all pretension otherwise, Harvard Law School is easier than Stanford Law School. Perhaps this is just another of newly-appointed Dean Kagan's efforts to make us happier, a la the skating rink. It's working. ;-)
