What the Coronavirus Pandemic Means for the Future of Higher Education
Are you feeling stressed about what the coronavirus means for high school juniors and seniors? There’s definitely a lot going on and so much is in flux. Here is an interview that I did recently on BloombergTV on that very topic. Take a look!

Should I Submit Supporting Materials for a Required Disclosure Addendum?
I am writing an addendum for a disciplinary probation proceeding. The infraction was described by the judicial proceeding as: “used outside sources on an assignment without proper attribution.” The assignment was to “imagine myself as a curator for an art exhibit,” and to record myself giving a tour in which I should discuss certain paintings – their form, style, origins, etc.
The intent was not to deceive, but rather I was careless in completing an unfamiliar assignment.
How Much Can I Help My Friend With His Personal Statement?
At a recent LSAC forum, I met a guy who is a refugee and is currently in the middle of the law school admissions process, as am I. He is studying for the LSAT, but having much trouble due to English being his second language. I offered to assist him in preparation for the LSAT. I have been working with him on this, but he has recently asked me to review his personal statement, and I am unsure of the ethical constraints in such work.

Will Law Schools See My Non-US Transcripts?
“I had about two semesters worth of credit from US undergrad schools, then another two from St. Andrews in Scotland, before leaving school for awhile. I’m finishing up through the University of London International Programme this May. The LSAC put my US GPAs on the report and then just put “foreign” for the st. andrews and uol grades. How might law schools consider this? Do they look at the individual transcripts or just the lsac report? “
