which diplomas do I put in my office?
I attended a state university and graduated with bachelors degree in communication studies.
I am graduating from law school and opening my own practice.
Do I hang all 3? or just the bachelors and JD?
I want your opinion.
It seems to me that the AA may make people feel like I am more approachable in a way, but on the other hand, will they think I am less capable b/c I went to a community college first?
BTW- I dont buy that people who went to a community college are less capable…to the contrary, I went to one to save money so that I could later afford law school…smart move! π

Getting ready early?????
I was able to do 16 credit hours, work about 40 weeks as an intern for the government in my career choice (IT at the time, although I ranked up there with the rest and sometimes higher) and managed a 4.0, all at a private college in a big city.
Majority of undergrads in college towns are working at blue-collar jobs now given to anyone who wants them. Some work harder than others and do what I did.
From what I have read about law students, you probably might want to rethink starting a private practice and just find a partner or work for an existing firm, then later start a practice.
I also subscribe to a newsletter from the ABA which usually tells lawyers how to use technology, most of which I already know.
I would think you would have access to way more than I can dream, but dunno. I have had prior access to the Lexis Nexis system, although its search features seemed pointless if you had no clue what case you were looking for. Luckily I was told but that didn’t help too good, and I have better research skills than most students, and especially than my aunt who has a Masters degree from a traditional university, which is going to waste as her BS degree is being used. I do not think she makes enough for her job: She’s a Major in the Air National Guard, has a BS in Computer Science, and works for the federal gov but in a poverty-stricken area.
I also have a link to a guy who is famous for telling big businesses on how to make their web sites usable and appeal to other big businesses.
If you need more help, email me, although you are really more professional than I am.
I tend to use businesses/professionals who are graduates of my alma mater. Having that degree from state on the wall may be a help.
