It won’t help you make partner, or even get admitted to the bar, but if a hankering for law has gotten under your skin, look no further than “Law School in a Box”, available at MentalFloss.com.
In addition to a textbook (96 pages long!), the “box” part of the learning system includes some Heroes of the Courtroom trading cards, You Be the Judge quiz cards, and a mini-bar exam (no, it doesn’t include any mini bottles of Bacardi for post-exam).
Should you pass the mini-bar, there’s even a diploma—with “real Latin words”! Lingua Latina vivit! But the greatest reward? Knowing that a mere $14.95 investment has kick-started a brilliant legal career. For those of you with higher aspirations, go get that second Master’s and pick up an MBA or an MD while you’re there—in this unstable economy, the more sheepskins you’ve got, well, it might not get you a job but it could give your ego a boost.
