YEA!
My web hosting service installed some software that protects my site from spam blog comments. So, I’ll start allowing comments on my posts again. I was receiving over 200 bogus spam comment posts each day, which was why I had to stop allowing comments in the first place…
Now I just have to post something worth commenting ON… 🙂
2007 National Prospective Law Student Study
Once again I’ll be conducting a national market research survey of prospective law students. This will be the third such study I’ve conducted, the first was in 2004, the second was in 2005. Results from both studies are available for download at www.woodenpencil.com.
The study is free for all participating law schools. My firm creates the instrument, removes duplicate listings, sends the email invitation, collects, and reports on the data. Participating law schools simply provide their DIRECT INQUIRY email lists. LSAC rules prohibit the use of Candidate Referral Service email lists in market research projects. As a result, the only way to get a real national study of prospective law students is through cooperation among participating law schools.
In the past studies, the following law schools participated. Many have already confirmed their participation again this year.
Hamline University School of Law
Penn State University – Dickinson School of Law
The University of Cincinnati College of Law
The University of Denver College of Law
The University of Houston Law Center
The University of Southern California Law School
The University of Virginia School of Law
Washington University in St. Louis School of Law (St. Louis)
If your law school would like to be part of the study. Just email me and we’ll add you to the list. I’ll need the direct inquiry lists by the end of October.
I’ve been just slammed with work and proposals lately and haven’t been writing much. I’ve got a bunch of topics I’ll be writing about in the very near future. So, hang with me and be patient.
Thanks.
Today’s my birthday. At the first of the month, I decided to try and keep the day pretty light and clear on the work front – maybe take a little time to just sit and be. Well, evidently the way to make sure you’re busy all day is to try and keep the calendar clear. 🙂 I’m not complaining, it’s just ironic. Today has seen two contract drafting issues, a trademark registration, a new LLC formation, a call with a new software company/client, and a call from a screenwriter who needs a licensing agreement and will end up becoming a client. And it’s not even 3:00.
From here to a board meeting at the museum, then a birthday dinner with the family, and then off to another engagement from around 7:30-9:30.
And it’s an early morning tomorrow.
So whenever I want new projects to come in, I’ll just try to keep the day clear.
Of course the 39 birthday kisses and hugs from my wife and kids to start the day was pretty nice.
I just joined this organization…
IAHL Mission Statement:
The International Alliance of Holistic Lawyers’ mission is to transform the practice of law, through education and support of holistic practice.
Our Vision:
The IAHL envisions a world where lawyers are valued as healers, helpers, counselors, problem-solvers, and peacemakers. Conflicts are seen as opportunities for growth. Lawyers model balanced lives and are respected for their contributions to the greater good.
If more people signed on to that vision statement, the world would be a better place. 🙂
