Experiences Of A Non Traditional Law Student
Well, I have been gone for a couple of weeks, but I’m back for awhile now. Got a lot on my plate because the MPRE is coming up soon and I am studying for that. I have my BarBri review course coming up this weekend. Next term I am taking Secured Transactions and Tax at [...]
Happy Independence Day everyone! It is time to celebrate our nation’s independence and forget (if only for one day) about all the law school “stuff” we have been so earnestly studying. Take this time to spend with your family and give your brain a well-deserved rest. Keep up the good work and study hard . [...]
I finally finished my ADA paper. Curious enough, it still lingered in my mind even after I handed it in. Why? I had worked hard on it. I had revised and then revised again. And most importantly, I cannot change it now. Why is it then that we continue to second guess ourselves even after [...]
For any of you law students out there that are taking an advanced writing course . . . bless you. I am writing about the ADA, and I am currently on my seventh or eighth revision (losing count). As for the reference to scanners, well, you will have to watch the movie or ask someone [...]

Anyone out there remember this song from Grease? This is one of my favorite songs of the movie. But enough about movies. The title is actually in reference to the character and fitness review you will eventually face if you want to practice law. All law school applications require you to make certain disclosures when [...]
This morning I took my two eldest children for their drivers tests. My daughter was never very interested in driving until her brother was old enough to take the course. After that I think it was mere sibling rivalry. So I ended up taking them both on the same day - back to back tests. [...]
While I am not much of a t.v. watcher (especially since I began law school) I happened to catch a short glimpse of a show on etiquette a couple of days ago. I did not watch the entire episode but did happen to catch the part about language. According to the segment, “swear words” are [...]
My wife and I were having a conversation that somehow ended up discussion why our children always referred to any type of meat as chicken. Strange huh? But during the course of this strange conversation my wife questioned why we call chicken, chicken? We don’t call beef, cow. We don’t call pork, pig. So why [...]
