Which professor has influenced you most, and why? Jonette Watson Hamilton - her teaching style is effective because she scares you [read Socratic method], no law school would be complete without one of these profs. Brett Code - his no-hold-bar-refreshing views on a variety of subjects and his theoretical approach to law (I have a philosophy degree), every law school needs one of these profs. Catherine Brown - she made me like tax.
What has been your favourite course, and why? Evidence and any of the tax courses taught by Catherine Brown (see above).
Describe your extra-curricular activities at the U of C: Currently involved with SLS (obviously) and Moot Times, Student Newspaper.
What is your favourite place or activity on the U of C campus? Working out at the gym (don't really spend a lot of time on campus other than for classes/studying or gym).
What advice would you give to students looking to go to law school? Law school has a way of bringing you down, in the worst way possible - stay true to yourself, don't compare yourself to others, have a life outside of law school and work hard.
