I have received this book free from Goodreads! This book will definitely be very useful in the future. Right now I am a high school student and I'm going to be taking a Law Studies class my Junior year and I think this book will be very useful, thank you! July 4, 2012
Chris rated it 5/5 it was amazing
The book is divided into three sections: how to adjust to college, how to succeed in class, and how to properly apply your degree to your future career.
Of the career section, the best advice numbers came with the bureau of labor statistic inserts, allowing an influence and perspective into the quote or advice. In succeeding in class, the most helpful pages had advice on mentors and how to properly write an essay or take a multiple choice test. The Adjusting to college had a huge emphasis placed on making friends and overall enjoying life because that is what one should be doing at college.
Overall, it was a great book. Only problem is that I am now freaking out over my career prospects. Oh well!  November 18, 2012
David rated it 5/5 it was amazing
Received this book in a giveaway, but its advice is WAY more valuable than that might hint.
The one that really sticks out (and could have saved me a lot of wasted time) is how you should choose a vocation (pays well!) versus an avocation (hobby; little or no pay!). July 2, 2012

Justice Cases for the Classroom



This summer, I am teaching LGLS 3020 (Introduction to Law), a GSU Robinson elective class that let's me explore some non-business topics.  As a part of the class, we examine justice issues in civil and criminal cases.  Class meets M/W at 1:50p.m.


Introduction to Justice Cases for Students

Unlike Hollywood law dramas, which neatly wrap up cases in an hour or two, achieving actual justice through the legal system is often slow, frustrating, and requires patience and persistence.

Below are real cases that I have studied, written about, and in some instances, maintained contact with the legal underdogs involved.  Each case has deeply personal significance to me for different reasons, and thus I write about them in the first person.  My hope is that if teachers and students experience my passion and engagement, they may be inspired to follow a local, national, or international cause and choose to participate as an impactful voice, whether through social media or some other avenue.
