Congratulations to the Empire alumni who are thankful that they passed the July Bar Exam. One of the successful Class of 2011 candidates, Michael Teply, shared that his first three days as a lawyer consisted of:
 
Day 1) getting sworn in Monday morning and picking a jury that afternoon;
Day 2) starting his first trial; and
Day 3) getting a HUNG JURY! 6-6!!!
 
Congratulations, Michael, and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Let’s face it – it’s a scary test.  Here’s how to fight back
   
What did our favorite “Legally Blonde” heroine do to prepare for the LSAT?  When asked how she planned to score at least a 175, Elle Woods quipped, “I once had to judge a tighty-whitey contest for Lambda Kappa Pi.  Trust me, I can handle anything.”

Hopefully, if you’re considering law school, your plan of attack for the LSAT is stronger than poor Elle’s.

Tell your friends about the next Law School Informational Seminar on Wednesday, April 27, 2011, 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the College campus.
