Dynasty has three new interns. There were so many qualified candidates that there was no way I could just stick with two. Congrats to the three who were chosen. I am continuing to work on a complete overhaul of this site’s look, which is still planned to be finished by the end of this month. […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up

If you missed my interview with Leigh Steinberg, I suggest you check it out. I am no longer a 1L! For those of you non-legal people, that means that I made it through the toughest year of law school. Hopefully, it will be all smooth sailing from here. I am back home in South Florida, […]
