Thoughts Of A Non Traditional Law Student
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 [...]
Wow! It seems like just yesterday I was sitting in my law school orientation class. Now I have only three terms left to go. It will often seem like the drudgery will never end, and the work is just too much. But one day you will wake up and be on your way to the [...]
Don’t forget to thank a veteran today for your freedom. As law students we are studying to become lawyers some day. As lawyers we will be part of shaping the future direction of our nation. But let us never forget the men and women that put their lives on the line every day to preserve [...]

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 [...]
I was reminded this week as I sat in class that some day I will be a lawyer with real clients. A sobering thought really. With all of the hustle and bustle of everyday life law school sometimes becomes like a second job. But the more I began to reflect the more I began to [...]
I am rather sore this morning because I spent last night on the sofa. No, my wife did not kick me out of the bedroom :) My brother and his wife are taking care of my mother and she needed to be taken to the hospital late last night. I was called to go stay [...]
