This one is going out to my Corporate/ Biz Associations friends - if a new lawyer did NOT take the basic course in law school but wants a handy way to get up to speed - what references would you have them read?

Iโ€™m a consumer law prof and I believe in transparency and verificationโ€ฆ but it burdens smaller schools immensely

Just putting out there that thereโ€™s probably a way to make university and law school accreditation a whole lot less resource-consuming while preserving 100% of the accountability.

I moved to Oregon from the Acela corridor almost 20 years ago. One of the best things about living here has been that you can just โ€ฆ live here.

Our public schools are clearly not doing a great job of teaching the business judgment rule and the intricacies of shareholder derivative litigation

Havenโ€™t done that one yet. But just did a Camry for someone who shouldnโ€™t have to spend $85 to get that done. $12 filter, 5 minutes.

If I post about preparing to teach Torts, it will draw out all of the โ€œI like chocolate torts lolโ€ replies that I always get and feel obligated to feign amusement about. So Iโ€™m not going to post about preparing to teach Torts this year. Iโ€™m not even going to post the word โ€œTorts.โ€

To get the recipient to respond. Then it becomes a case of mistaken identity. Then it becomes an lol exchange. Then it eventually becomes an online โ€œromanceโ€ that ends in a cash advance for a plane ticket, etc
