Chris Johns remembers his days at the University of Texas School of Law spent drinking endless amounts of Diet Coke to stay awake, receiving hot meals from his wife while studying with friends, and becoming paler by the day during his third year as he spent 40-plus hour weeks in a windowless office while fulfilling his duties as editor-in-chief of the Texas Law Review.
