Part of it is the sliding tuition scale, though, I think. Free if you grade out at 4.0, add large chunks of money as your grades descend.

I've known a few people who have done well after graduating from Cooley. Family- okay, divorce- law and probate law, real hustle types.

No, IANAL. But I used to drink with them, which means I just need to pass the bar exam, right?

I just read a little bit ago that one of the Russian mobsters Steele talked about in the dossier is also suing Buzzfeed for libel and the High Court in London ruled that Steele will have to give a deposition for his case. Which again brings up a whole fresh can of worms to be opened.

Why even go to law school when you can simply "read the law" / do apprentice work -- like Lincoln!

I think a handful of states still allow that as an alternative way into the legal profession. A good buddy of mine did it in Vermont; he was was one hell of a brilliant legal mind.

I’m reading between the lines a bit, but I’m thinking Stormy might have given Trump a few golden showers herself. It would make sense, then, for why the Fucking Moron is so apoplectic about both the Dodgy Dossier and Stormy D. One tends to prove the other and vice-versa.

Cohen's sure to counter-sue for double defamation, triple indemnity and discovering his own ineptitude throughout the course of his own ineptitude.

He's going to counter-sue for finding out how bad he is at being a suer? sewer? one who sews?

Felix Unger was a better lawyer than Michael Cohen.

You must include Kasowitz in these replies. Just an opinion.

Apparently Mr. Cohen is one of those deluded individuals who think that the best way to deter an annoying wasp is to take a swat at the wasp's nest.

Just out of interest. Is court testimony covered by NDAs?
