Personal Preparation
“Once in school, everyone has a point of view about what you need to do to prepare, whether it be writing out note cards or preparing extensive outlines. I learned that I had to find my own way and prepare in a way that worked best for me.”

On Teaching Style
“The professors at Cleveland-Marshall were excellent: They were teachers and scholars. Traditional courses laid the foundation for a successful practice. Skills courses complemented scholarly ones. The research skills I learned and the writing instruction I received were the best. I was involved in Moot Court and we wrote the best brief in the country my last year – an example of the solid education I received.”
