12(b)(6)

@12b6 / 12b6.tumblr.com

failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted

How many of these 15 very specific law struggles have you experienced

[ ] spending way too long looking for the fucking section symbol on Word

[ ] struggling with saying "certiorari"

[ ] struggling with saying "demurrer"

[ ] momentarily forgetting "Your Honor" and thinking, "Your Majesty...?"

[ ] having to politely sit through someone try to trick you into giving them legal advice

[ ] misspelling judgment ("judgement")

[ ] having a discourse about one or two spaces after the period

[ ] getting plaintiff and defendant flipped

[ ] not knowing what a case you've been reading is actually about because the opinion is focused on some procedural issue

[ ] copying the auto-formulated citation, not liking it, and "fixing" it

[ ] not knowing how to address judges in a social setting so just avoiding addressing them at all

[ ] getting googled info from some other law firm's website and feeling like a thief and a fraud

[ ] re-reading your emails from the Sent folder and noticing mistakes and struggling with whether to send a correction

[ ] writing "statute" when you actually meant statue

[ ] wrongly "correcting" someone who says "statue" when they did mean statue

YOO-HOO, BIG SUMMER BLOWOUT

In 3 years I’ve only had 3 promotions so far, for free shipping/ 10% off, and no one ever used ‘em! I don’t know why, as I do know people have been buying stuff.

Use code BIGSUMMER for 15% off your order until end of June! 

Get stickers, shirts, hoodies, and more. Happy summer, y’all!

Promo is over soon! Get ‘em while they’re hot!

Should there be a reason to leave Tumblr, what would be your preferred mode of medium to catch me at?

- Facebook

- Twitter

- Instagram 

lmk, I’d honestly prefer not to leave but there has been a lot of porn bots hijacking my more popular posts. I currently already have FB and Twitter pages, but not Instagram.

I saw that 12b6 is six now (holy shit) and wanted to say thanks for posting so consistently. I’m the same year as you and on a similar path (t14 / biglaw except I’m in corporate) and I stumbled on the blog shortly after you started so it’s been great to see you express feelings so similar to mine about law school/the bar/biglaw except in a much more entertaining and gif-laden way. Hope you keep it up!!!

Hey! Thanks for sticking around :) I’m not biglaw though, which is probably why I had time to post consistently, lol. Here’s to many more!!
