I stepped inside the Commisioner’s office and entered another world. Leather couches, windows with curtains, and a bowl full of Hershey’s kisses placed neatly on a glass coffee table. I felt like I was in an office at Trump Tower. “Can I help you?” A detective approached me. “Yeah, I have a letter here for…

Alright, this has gone on long enough. My decision on whether to attend law school or not has taken me on a road almost as long as law school itself. It all began in October of 2005, and it may finally, FINALLY come to an end on Friday the 13th, which is the deadline for…
