Spring Break Plans?

posted by Allie

I came across an interesting article on the ABA Journal's website about a group of law students' plans for Spring Break.  This group of law students are traveling to Miami to help Haitian immigrants prepare immigration documents to stay in the United States in order to continue supporting their famiies back home.  The article slapped me right in the face as a wake-up call- just this morning I was complaining to my mom about not being able to come up with enough money to have a "vacation-like" spring break this year. Wow. Then I read an article like that.  I don't post this to lay a guilt trip on anyone lucky enough to go to Florida or other vacaction destination.  Instead, I think it serves as a reminder that you can't hear too many times in law school---  You will graduate with a set of skills that will be needed by so many people.  You can really make a difference.
You can read the full article on this group of law students here.


Enjoy the rest of you week, half way there!
