Question: "What is a family home?"
Student's Answer: A family home is where the family stays together. [So I add, "...and prays together?"]
It's the truth, really, but IN A LAW CLASS? Come on.

One Day At A Time
Law students will have many why-am-I-here moments; they will constantly wonder if all the sleepless nights, aggravation from professors, and their sudden lack of a social life will be worth it when the time comes.
I say to you, these are all part of the rite (or right) of passage.

LOOKING BACK
To move on to greater things, it’s important to look back and take stock of what you’ve done, what you failed to accomplish, and what you could have done to achieve better results. We often take this for granted and rush into things, sometimes even forcing people to conform to what we want. But looking back requires alone time and patience. This we fail to see when we’re on the verge of what we think is a breakthrough in our career or personal life.
Does this make sense to you?

Happy Mother's Day!
NEW POST:
For all Moms:
(These quotes were taken from 'If Mothers Were Flowers I'd Pick You' published by History & Heraldry in 2009, a little book-cum-key chain a student gave me. Read and choose one that fits you best.)
A Mother's first gift is life, the second is love and the third is understanding.
Instant availability without continuous presence is probably the best role a mother can play. - Lotte Bailyn
To become a mother is not hard, to be a mother is.
There's no such thing as a non-working mother. - Hester Mundi
A Mother's love is a garden where the sun always shines and the season is always Spring.
Who takes the child by the hand takes the mother by the heart. -German proverb
To bring up a child in the way he should go, travel that way yourself once in a while.
-Josh Billings
Children are the anchors that hold a mother to life. -Josh Billings
Mother is another word for love.
Now, as always, the most automated appliance in the household is the mother. -Beverly Jones
Mothers are the most incisive philosophers. -Harriet Beecher Stowe
A mother's love transcends time and circumstances and endures forever.
A mother's patience is like a tube of toothpaste - it's never quite all gone.
A mother's role is to deliver children obstetrically once, and by car for ever after.
-Peter de Vries
This would be a better world for children if parents had to eat the spinach. - Groucho Marx, 'Animal Crackers'
A baby is an alimentary canal with a loud voice at the end and no responsibility at the other.
Even when freshly washed and relieved of all obvious confections, children tend to be sticky. - Fran Lebowitz
MY PERSONAL FAVORITE:
The most difficult thing for a mother to remember is that other people have perfect children too.
Parenthood remains the greatest single preserve of the amateur. - Alvin Toffler
The joys of motherhood are never fully experienced until all children are in bed.
