I might be the most unlikely person to write an article on football. Ever.

Dear RG,

Why is it so hard to take a public interest job after graduation? The average law student graduates with debt in excess of $80,000. Except for a charmed segment, most of us will leave here with a similar amount, if not more. This enormous financial obstacle to taking a low-paying public interest job is something that many of us choose to confront. That's why I'm writing. There's been much buzz around the Law School about the uncertainty of the Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP). Many of us just don't know what its status is. In this vacuum pure speculation is just breeding more speculation. Themis is leading Homer.

Joe Harris Sullivan is the eye of the latest Supreme Court hurricane.

On a May morning twenty years ago, Sullivan and two friends robbed the home of Lena Bruner, a Florida resident. Bruner was absent during the burglary, but after she returned, someone again entered her house, threw a veil over her head, beat her, and raped her. At the time Bruner was 72 years old. Sullivan was just 13. He was tried for sexual assault as an adult.

When J. Robert Oppenheimer left Harvard College and went to study experimental physics at the famous Cavendish Laboratories in Cambridge (England), he showed up and was, for the first time, surrounded by lots of people that were better than him at something.

A, a 17-year-old male, suffers from clinical depression and hallucinations, although he takes no medication for either condition. He lives in a large house with much of his extended family, including his mother G, step-father C, and girlfriend O.

After a somewhat delightful trip through a few local beers of Michigan last issue, we continue this time with a salute to our international students and faculty. Michigan Law School draws from over thirty countries, and each has something special to bring to the great pub table. Some are delicious, some are intriguing, and (to be perfectly honest), some are not very good. A word to our international friends: if you feel that I have unfairly maligned your country of origin or its beer, let's meet over a pint so you can set me straight. One thing missing is a beer from Africa--if anyone knows where I can get one in Ann Arbor, let me know. Now without further ado, let's get started.

Everyone in your section has swine flu. The football team will inevitably lose this weekend. You just got called on and thought the defendant was the plaintiff. The only thing to look forward to is Thanksgiving...where you'll get to stress about jobs and exams. All that's keeping you going right now is the two pounds of caffeine in your circulatory system. So why are you settling for shitty coffee?

The Beer Guy is proud to present Prof. Pick - an occasional series in which a member of our esteemed faculty is invited to reflect on a beer of his or her choosing. As part of our international beer survey, we could hardly ask for better than Judge Bruno Simma of the International Court of Justice. Prof. Simma has roots in Munich, long considered the capital of the beer universe, so we asked him to describe his favorite beer.

I. It is unclear whether having to battle cancer has made my still brutally sarcastic and, at times, hilariously uncompassionate sister a better person. It is clear, however, that it has made her a fitter one.
