Proud father!

Yesterday, I spent the day with my daughter, Deena, who became certified as a Physical Therapy, Women’s Health Certified Specialist. She was among a charter group of only 61 physical therapists in the country, 6 in California, who qualified for this specialization. I’m a very proud father … 🙂

It was great to spend the day with her, see her interact with her peers and witness her receiving the specialization certificate on the stage.  What a day!

Law schools don’t help lawyers

In the teleseminar today sponsored by West LegalEdcenter and LawBiz Management, we heard from 3 recent graduates. Their comments were poignant. Law school deans and management should take heed, listen to these comments and then take action.

For the first time, prospective law school students are considering the economics … they are conducting a cost benefit analysis … considering their return on investment (ROI). And some are saying the ROI is not good enough.

What is your opinion? What are the considerations that would cause you to go to law school today?
