Laura and I throw down for a semi-impromptu LG podcast. We’re trying to develop a more regular and frequent schedule. It may be the case when we’ve worked out the details, we’ll start hosting a livecast as well. This week was more of a “just riffin’”1 episode in that we only discussed one news story. [...]

Just a quick note to our law student readers in the market for a new Mac: BGR reports that credible sources say Apple’s yearly back-to-school special may be $200 off the purchase price of an iPad (with the purchase of a new Mac).

Don’t Rush to Apply to Law School

by Louis Grube March 9, 2010 Advice

There will be a number more spots filled in the entering class by March than there would be if you sent your app in September. Unfortunately, many people take the LSAT in February.

Suck it Up and Take Trial Advocacy

by Joshua Auriemma February 8, 2010 Advice

I know, at least at my law school, students are afraid of trial advocacy.  Maybe they’ve heard that it’s a ton of work, or maybe they’re just reluctant to speak in public in front of other attorneys, judges, and their classmates. The fact of the matter is that even if you’re not planning on litigating, [...]
