More on Holiday Party Etiquette

In addition to Joe's earlier post today, law school librarians and clinicians apparently need lots of help in this regard, or so says Ann Bartow at Feminist Law Profs. 

... She didn’t mention whether the U of Maryland School of Law “sets the tone with with a series of pre-party memos” in advance of holiday social gatherings but I’m thinking this would be a terrific innovation here at the University of South Carolina, where in addition to informal gatherings both our clinicians and our law librarians host separate holiday soirees right on the premises and well, you know how clinicians and law librarians are - “check relevant insurance policies for possible coverage” indeed.  Here are some things I’d add to the Bryan Cave admonitions:

1. No picking the french fried onions off the top of the green bean casserole.

2. No asking faculty members who cuss, “Would you kiss your Mama with that mouth?” We might have a perfectly good reason for deploying the eff word.

3. No use of electronic equipment capable of producing YouTube videos if there is going to be karaoke, dancing or competitive eating.

Good times.  [JJ]
