We get emails from readers, and many ask the same things over and over. Thus, this FAQ should help answer some of our most commonly heard question...
Q: What happened to the comments?
A: We never liked comments and decided to get rid of them. We don't really care what people think of our posts. (I know you are thinking "Well, then have comments but don't read them". Sorry, I don't have that sort of self-control.) If you really want to tell us how you feel, email us at barelylegalblog@gmail.com, and I guarantee a personalized response within 24 hours.
Q: Are you going to do more of the "People You Meet in Law School"? Bring it back!!!
A: Look, we already did profiles of 11 types of students, plus five exam creatures as well. That is 16 character profiles. We got sick of it. Plus, we are out of ideas. If you have an idea, send it to us. Otherwise, if we get the proper inspiration, we'll write it. But for now, I don't think you want to read "People You Meet at Law School #22: The Guy In The Third Row With The Backwards Baseball Cap".
Q: Why don't you guys write about law stuff anymore? All you write lately are stories from when you were younger. Those are great, but we want law stuff. This is a legal blog, right?
A: There are several answers to this question...First, we both just started school. Over the summer, we did not have our primary souce of inspiration around, so we wrote other stuff. Second, we are jaded 3L's now and are sick of law school. Sometimes we don't feel like writing about the absurdities of it anymore. And third...You want legal stuff, you got it. The name of our blog is "Barely Legal". This can be interpretted to mean that there will barely be any legal stuff on it, which lately, is quite accurate. How's that for a legal answer?
Q: Is Brett from Blafayette, Bindiana actually Rhett from Lafayette, Indiana?
A: Bingo. Way to crack the code.
Q: Will you link me?
A: Sure, why not. If you want us to link to your blog, we'll do it, if you link to us, and of course, so long as your blog isn't about your latest NAMBLA "encounter".
Q: I am so offended by ________.
A: This isn't really a question, but I'll answer anyway. Russ and I don't necessarily believe everything we write, nor do we intentionally try to offend. But you can't be funny without offending someone, and this time, it landed on you. Here is a tip...Take a deep breath, and remember that we are just two bored law students. Move on to a boring, unoffensive blog, or go watch Everybody Loves Raymond.
Q: Where do you guys go to school?
A: Actually, we aren't student at all. We are law professor who hate our students. But we aren't tenured yet, so we want to remain anonymous.
Q: I am thinking about going to law school. Should I go?
A: For the love of God, no. But more importantly, why are you asking us? Is there any question as to what our answer will be? Unless, deep down, you don't want to go and you are just looking for someone to tell you what you want to hear.
