My Big Fat Empire Strikes Back
So there’s this kid. This nerdy kid. This nerdy kid who likes to pretend he’s got a lightsaber, and do all sorts of awesome jedi moves. Seriously, when you’re a kid, you don’t even care that nothing in The Phantom Menace makes sense, you just want to do the cool lightsaber stuff. So this nerdy kid borrows a camera from his high school library and tapes himself doing all sorts of crazy spin moves. Ah, good times.
But when he returns the camera to the library, he forgets to erase the tape. Classmates see it, upload it to the internet, and The Star Wars Kid is born.

The MPRE tests your knowledge of what is permissible, proper, and legal for lawyers and judges to do.
For instance, did you know that a lawyer is not permitted to accept payment of his fees in sexual favors? Actually, you probably did. That seems pretty self-evident, actually. I don’t know why my professor bothered to- oh. Well then. Moving on.

This year is going to be pretty cool. To celebrate, I’ve compiled a list of things that we can expect out of this fledgling year:

I get the impression that it's an exciting time to be getting knee-deep in this whole "online education" thing. mynameisrightplacerighttime
