Congratulations!

I wrote on (my grades were pretty abysmal til 3rd year).

The one thing you simply MUST do is slip in an off-the-wall footnote. At least in Georgia there is a happy tradition of judges and law review note writers slipping in something to see if anybody notices. The judges' weird footnotes generally get noticed (the most recent was the "Georgia Gators" footnote on the 1st page of a Court of Appeals opinion - EVERYBODY noticed that one, at least all the UGA and Florida fans). The law review ones never do. (I cited the old Amos & Andy radio show. Nobody noticed. In twenty years, nobody's said a word!)
