@Zack31849967 @Bruce_W_Bain @CXCarroll Start with persuading me that you’re not a bot

[Matthew Erickson @MattPErickson]

@NecktieSalvage Some coworkers and I made a pact to wear suits every Tuesday. For one day of week at least we won’t be out of place dressing nicely.

Only one exam stood between Brittany Lovely, a 2L at Georgetown Law, and her baby's end-of-semester due date

When she asked to take the test early, the first day of exam period, an admin said "you should have planned better" and "motherhood is not for the faint of heart"
