9. Columbia law diplomas are actually in Latin? Talk about legacy code…

   Regardless, congrats. Somehow you managed to write insightful blog posts while going through law school at the same time.

Nutshell answer to your question of ‘is it worth it’ is ‘it depends; it was for me but I am lucky enough to be in a very, very unusual situation- for many (most?) people I would not recommend it.’

30. No new fangled u’s and j’s or spaces between the words. No, dots were good enough then and they are good enough now.
