The blog stylings of a few students at The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law.

The Myth of the Evening Student.

One of the reasons that I was interested in Catholic is that it had the highest average age of an evening cohort in D.C. Hearing of the brutality of the law school grading curve, I convinced myself that this was a good thing, since it meant that I would be competing against people with similar, [...]
