Review

“This tongue-in-cheek crash course includes a mini-textbook, 10 ‘Heroes of the Courtroom’ trading cards, 10 ‘You Be the Judge’ cards, a mini bar exam, and a faux diploma. Best of all, there’s no tuition!”—Catholic Digest

About the Author

John Cascarano and Jacquelyn Oña Cascarano met in the spring semester, just outside the University of Michigan Law School reading room, where they probably should have been studying. Instead of cases, they found love. (Which is much better, in their unanimous professional legal opinion.) The couple, who got hitched soon after graduation, currently reside in Philadelphia, where they enjoy taking long walks around Rittenhouse Square with their ever-pooping wheaten terrier, Hamburger “Hammy” Cascarano.

Boy, do I feel like a great big chump for spending six figures on law school tuition. Someone gave this to me as a graduation present, and it was a crushing blow to realize how much time and money I could have saved. Then again, none of my attorney colleagues have Cardozo and Jefferson trading cards. So who's the chump now?

I've seen what's inside, but personally, it didn't really matter -- it's a novelty item and a good gift for any law student. It's a cheap thrill and not a bad idea to send a current student for a quick laugh :o)
