Are you a lawyer? You went to Chicago I am assuming....after my fellowship, I am doing teach for america for two years and then possibly law school.

I am interested in hearing more about the University of Chicago.

Chicago for undergrad and business school, and then to U of Michigan for law school. Btw, the most conservative professor at U of M was gay, and died of AIDS. He once said in his class on the Uniform Commerical Code that the law school had just met all its quotas by hiring one professor: the hiree was female, black, and Republican. He bet against a tax professor (Hart Wright, a wonderful guy but a hard core Dem) that Ford would beat Carter. When Carter won, he wrote a check to pay off the gambling debt, noting on it that it was recompense for an illegal transaction against public policy. Wright the next day in class bellowed his rage at the sharp practices indulged in by his colleage. Wright liked me though (he singled me out in class to take a bow) when I trashed in a public forum (quite successfully I think) Charls Walker (undersecretary of the treasury at the time), for his supply side economics snake oil. Wright was amazed when he found out that I was voting for Ford. It was all quite fun.
