Law Student Beats Robber to Save Class Notes

Submitted by Andrew Schnitzel on Wednesday, 12 November 2008No Comment

Above the Law has this story, naming a 1L at Arizona State the student of the day.

ASU student Alex Botsios said he had no problem giving a nighttime intruder his wallet and guitars.

When the man asked for Botsios’ laptop, however, the first-year law student drew the line.

“I was like, ‘Dude, no — please, no!” Botsios said. “I have all my case notes … that’s four months of work!”

That’s when Botsios showed him exactly how important case notes are to a law school student. He wrestled away the intruder’s baseball bat, punched the guy repeatedly, and called the police.

Big thanks to my lovely girlfriend for the tip. Also – story from KTAR (AZ news radio).

Moral of the story: don’t let this guy get in the way of your education.
