Two finals down, two to go. Criminal Law and Torts will be out of my mind for a while. Now it is onto studying for Professional Responsibility and Constitutional Law. Oh, and it is Hanukkah! So spin those dredles and burn down the candles. Here comes some stories that I failed to cover during the […]
Morton’s Steakhouse? Capital Grille? Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse? Those are so old school.
