At Delaware Law, all the resources a student could ever need are available &ndash; it&rsquo;s up to you to take advantage of them.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>What unique opportunities did Delaware Law School provide to you? <\/strong> <br \/>The law school was not only conveniently located to my home, but also offered me a generous scholarship which helped me finance my education.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>What was your favorite law school class and why?<\/strong> <br \/> That&rsquo;s tough. While I didn&rsquo;t enjoy my litigation clinic class &ndash; it certainly wasn&rsquo;t my favorite - it was by far the best class I took. The materials and professors prepared me for practice more than any others; I still thank the professors from that class when I see them.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>What has your post-law school experience\/career path been?<\/strong> <br \/> Following graduation, I was an insurance defense lawyer for a few years before opening my own plaintiff personal injury practice, which I have had now for about five years. I&rsquo;ve gone from working out of my bedroom on a handful of cases, to having five full-time staff and a caseload of about 150 cases.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>What value would you place on a Delaware Law degree? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>My degree has tremendous value; as much as one from any other school in the area. Especially in Delaware, a Delaware Law School degree carries with it tremendous prestige because so many well-respected members of the judiciary and bar are alumni. And let&rsquo;s be honest, the biggest value is that my income is totally different than if I hadn&rsquo;t gotten a law degree!<\/p>","callouts":[],"callouts_visual":[],"page_fact_display":""}
