Thoughts Of A Non Traditional Law Student
If you are like me then you utilize the internet a lot. Law is a field that is becoming increasingly more saturated with technology, and the wise law student will keep informed. While I was browsing some of my favorite blawg sites I happened on this article from ResIpsaBlog.com.
I am a huge fan of open [...]
I just received my MPRE scores today. While many law students “blow off” this exam, I took it very seriously. It is, after all, required to become a licensed lawyer in my state of Michigan. Anyway, I was surprised at how nervous I was when I went to the download site to retrieve my score. [...]
Well, break is almost over, and that means back to school. I hope you all had a nice break and will enjoy the holiday weekend. I don’t know about you, but I am anxious to get back to law school. It will be my last year. On the other hand, it often takes me a [...]

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 [...]
