Law Professor Debates

Went to class slightly on time again this morning. Gotta be a miracle. For lunch I went to a relaxation seminar and learned a little PMR meditation. Interesting, but to be honest, I was there for the pizza. Got a haircut in the afternoon 'cause I had become reatively shaggy. Then went to watch Professors Moglen and Epstein debate the case of Intel v Hamidi. They were both very good debators though the case wasn't that exciting. From there went straight to another debate between two professors, this time over the war in Iraq. Not that exciting either, though again, the professors presented themselves well. What struck me the most was the collegiality of the events. The professors were friendly towards each other and though they made fun on occasion, there was no hostility. Since nearly all my previous debate experience has invloved the Israel/Palestine issue, I'm used to acid spitting contests where the debators clearly disdain their opponents. Interesting to gain a broader taste of the techniques and styles of debates. The evening was spent doing laundry, reading torts, and channel surfing.
