Was a guest lecturer at UM school of law (my alma mater for law school), it was a lab class for the Innocents Project class. I spoke mainly on Pre-Trial investigation/Discovery then drifted a bit into Voir Dire and protecting the record for appellate review. Great experience, small group of really focused 2L students. Cool thing for me was that I was not your typical law student, I was a night student with horrible grades out of college and did well but never set the world on fire with grades in law school, but to come back and teach was awesome. I think there may be an inner professor in me…… | ||

Just to clarify for those not from the southeast, the esteemed professor SFL is referring to “The U”, not “The school up north” (Alma mater as well  ) | |||

Congratulations! That is very cool. A friend of mine from UF went to Miami Law. Walt Boholst was a ferocious intramural basketball player at Florida...even though he's about 5'6". ____________________________ Yes, Para does appreciate humor. | |||

Sounds like a great experience. Your situation is quite similar to mine. I had lousy grades in college, but decided to try for law school after working for a couple of years. I was able to get into law school (Chicago-Kent) by smoking the LSAT and having an atty friend who was connected to the school put in a good word for me. I was a night student while working full-time. It was quite a load but I enjoyed it. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

Hey! It beats working for a living. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Sounds like fun! Maybe there's an adjunct position in your future.  Every January the UM School of Law holds the Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning. The conference was held in Miami Beach for decades. I loved being in Miami Beach in January. Unfortunately they moved the whole show to Orlando a few years ago. Orlando is miserable. | |||
