Hearsay, Hearsay!

Hearsay, Hearsay! by Josh Simmons, J.D. Candidate, Class of 2023 On June 28th, the House Judiciary GOP tweeted out “It’s literally all hearsay evidence. What a joke” —in reference to the recent hearings held by the House Select Committee on the January 6th Attack. House Judiciary GOP (@JudiciaryGOPD), Twitter (June 28, 2022, 10:19 AM), https://twitter.com/JudiciaryGOP/status/1541833774966636544 . The tweet raises eyebrows among those familiar with the concept of hearsay evidence. For one, House Rules state that “the committee is the sole judge of the pertinence of testimony and evidence adduced at its hearing.” House Rule XI cl. 2(k)(8). Therefore, hearsay and other evidentiary rules found in the Federal Rules of Evidence do not apply to the Committee.

Adhere to the law, adhere to process and procedure, adhere to professors and judges alike… But where is our freedom? Where is our ability to deviate? To go our own way? To disagree, or agree differently? How do we maintain our free spirit as law students? This article does not provide an answer, because I don’t have one. Only guesses. As a law student myself, I have felt stifled in an education focused on rules and regulations. Though I love learning the law, my rebellious side often seeks to escape. Here are some ways I have found relief: 1) getting an early start on practicing law, 2) being spontaneous, and 3) seeking differential associations. Practice affords a greater degree of freedom than being a law student. In ...

Women's History Month

-
Women's History Month by Reanna Hicks, J.D. Candidate, Class of 2023 Women’s History Month has been celebrated for over 30 years, initially it was an achievement that provided a platform for Women’s contributions to be highlighted, but now if feels like a lazy afterthought. The US government has a lackluster website that hits all the cliché talking points. The problem with scheduled annual celebrations is that they allow individuals a way to pat themselves on the back without making any real change. Businesses create social media post to “celebrate” their employees that are women, people like the post and everyone feels good and goes on with their day. You do not see any businesses posting that they will take measurable steps to pay women at the same rate as their male counterparts. To this day women earn 83 cents to every dollar men earn ( https://www.businessinsider.com/gender-wage-pay-gap-charts-2017-3 ). This idea is not new, over fifteen years ago Morgan Freeman said “I do...
