My book Bad Lawyer drops this May. It’s about my wack experiences in law school, courthouses, and law offices. The idea is to demystify law as a revered profession. And in anticipation of its release, I’ve decided to do a series of accessible and hopefully entertaining primers on legal topics. I think a lot of people are curious about what exactly is taught in law school but are intimidated by the unnecessarily esoteric and elitist way the material is presented.

Here is my attempt to show you it isn’t that scary and can at times even approach enjoyable.

In February, Trump was acquitted. Following the acquittal, minority leader Mitch McConnell said the Senate was…

Author Catie Disabato is my ex-girlfriend. Unlike her U Up? protagonist Eve and her ex Bea, Catie and I are on good terms. We continue to exchange writing and are even in the same writing group. We were dating for most of Catie’s drafting of U Up?, and in the acknowledgments Catie credits me with helping her finish it (although I don’t remember that at all).
