I know some of you are on the fence about the Barrister's Ball. On the one hand, it's the law school prom. On the other hand, it's the law school prom.

So for what it's worth: I am going to the Barrister's Ball. I am making this public commitment so that I won't lose the will to party hearty and back out. I am ready to rock it.

Here's the thing. Many of us don't think about going to the Barrister's Ball because "I won't know anyone there". Completely agree. But if a critical mass of your friends were going, you'd go too, right?

Not that you all were making your plans around me. But by coming out of the closet early, I hope to pave the way for others who might be on the fence. Yes, it's the prom. But you earned it. And you might get lucky.
