As many of you know, I transferred law schools after my 1L year. Many
law students consider transferring after their 1L year, generally to
move to a higher ranked school. I transferred because I was marrying
someone out of state (and dropping a little in the law school
rankings), so I didn't have the same academic pressure. Unfortunately,
that transfer process did not go smoothly for me. Thankfully, a LoaLS
listener has written a comprehensive guide on transferring,

Among other things, I am Firearms Instructor. When I tell people this,
it's usually a 50/50 split as to whether their eyes are filled with
fear or interest. Minds have been conditioned by the media and social
biases that "Guns are bad." When I counsel students at the college
where I work who are starting their education in legal studies, I ask
them a few questions (this works a bit better during an election

Drunk driving has been a major problem for law enforcers and law

people at stake. These include the lives of other drivers, people on
bikes and motorbikes and even pedestrians. After drinking, your senses
as well as reflexes become impaired and although, you are fooled into
believing that you can drive home but the truth is that you can either
get pulled over on the basis of DUI suspicion or you can cause a car
