Law School Term of the Day - nugatory

nugatory
adj.

1. Of little or no importance; trifling.
2. Having no force; invalid.

"To have declared that the best means shall not be used, but those alone with which the power given would be nugatory, would have been to deprive the legislature of the capacity to avail itself of experience, to exercise its reason, and to accommodate its legislation to circumstances." McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 316, 413 (1819).

Interesting Pro Bono Opportunity...

"Attention Students:

The Legal Education Project needs volunteers to teach lessons on bullying to middle school students. LEP is scheduled to teach on January 30th between 9:20am and 10:20am at Sutherland Middle School and needs at least two additional volunteers ASAP. Students will teach in teams of two and will be provided with a lesson plan. No teaching experience is required...."

That's good, because my bullying certification expired last year.
