I've been complaining a lot about assignments and deadlines, but it occurs to me that one shoe still hasn't dropped: I have yet to get a citation checking assignment from my law review overlords. Many of my fellow law review apprentices got assignments way back at the beginning of the semester, but a few of us are still waiting for our numbers to come up. Surely the editorial board wouldn't ask us to take on a cite check now, while the paper-writing deadlines are coming hot and heavy. Would it?
