A professor of mine from last semester has asked me to work on a project with him as a research assistant. Being now familiar with the complications involved in sending a check to UCLA, I can't imagine what it will be like to get money out of them.

In the years before I was in law school I had a number of professional activities, one of which was information design. So this project involves converting research data into useful charts & displays. Since law school involves feeling dumb & confused much of the time, it's kind of relaxing to revisit a topic where I have expert knowledge.

Meanwhile I went to Barneys today to get the obligatory interview suit. I have neither owned nor worn a real suit for ... an improbably long time. But according to the female suit critic who accompanied me, I'm lookin' sharp.
