Lessons learned from a random research trip

Devin Humphreys | Tuesday, March 29, 2022

I am, at times, amazed by the rabbit holes into which I have fallen while at Notre Dame Law School. From comparing lawsuits with dating to using my canon law final paper as an excuse to reconsider mens rea reform, the opportunities for those rabbit holes to manifest have been plentiful.

Let’s start with the truly offensive headline invoking the term “jihadist” to suggest the kind of judge professor Barrett will be. Really, just reprinting the word and noting

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
