If you had the chance to do it over, would you do it again? The decision to go on to law school is an increasingly difficult one. One attorney thinks he has the answer – and he has 1,000 reasons for you to apply somewhere else.
According to the Weather Channel, it feels like 92 degrees right now. I firmly believe that it should never feel like 92 degrees in the evening in Philadelphia. On the plus side, after a grueling day gardening in the heat (hey, it had to be done), I now have the opportunity to sit down, check…
