Weakly Special: Evan Schaeffer is now holding Rock’n’Roll week at his Legal Underground weblog. As he explains:
To all [we]bloggers studying law: . . The title of each post this week contains a reference to a rock song; spot the reference, which usually isn’t brilliantly disguised, and I’ll make it my business to publicize your [we]blog on this one (admittedly, something that’s worth more or less what you’ll have to pay for it). Rules here, law students only.
So far, today’s posts are titled Brilliant Disguise and Career Opportunities.
We here at e&hEsq have a few qualms about all this 
. .
- Isn’t it (like really) unfair to open the contest only to law students?
- Aren’t law student webloggers already spending far too much time away from their studies? Why would Mr. Schaeffer want to encourage them to chase down song titles, most of which are from another era?
- Speaking of which, Mr. Schaeffer’s choices seem to give Baby Boomer law students a distinct advantage in his contest. [Aside to all baby boomer law students: Get Out Now, with your sanity and soul intact. How many mid-life crises do you want in one lifetime?]
- Since, by definition, all members of our learned profession are always “studying” the law (and some even “practicing” it), or should be, shouldn’t all weblawgers qualify for this contest?
Mr. Schaeffer seems to think he can slip this link-mongering scheme past skepticalEsq with a mere mention and compliment of Your Humble Editor. Well, it’s not working. So far.
