http://restoringdignitytothelaw.blogspot.com/2011/06/law-grad-wants-ftc-to-investigate-law.html

Restoring Dignity to the Law. Friday, June 17, 2011. Law Grad Wants FTC to Investigate Law Schools. The only surprising thing about t. Is that the ABA Journal actually ran it.

http://restoringdignitytothelaw.blogspot.com/2011/09/labor-day-laugh-from-fox-news.html

Restoring Dignity to the Law. Monday, September 5, 2011. A Labor Day Laugh from Fox News. In this article, entitled "Internet to Bring Down the Sky-High Cost of Higher Ed, Experts Say,".
