Well, I was hoping that it was a Ben & Jerry's type of company, with odd, bizarre ingredients and particles in the mix, as is "Mummy Brown" in oil paint. (I have also been spending too much time in the company of cadavers and taxidermed [is this a word?] animal parts.) I'm rather disappointed to learn it's just plain old caput mortum.

I'm here to say that you can make it through law school with only the most rudimentary Latin skills. But I now live in a household of Latin scholars, including one who just won a National Latin Exam Gold Medal, and they love talking over my head. All you really need to know in law school are phrases such as "pro bono", "res ipsa loquitor", or in my case especially, "mea culpa".

Carpe diem,
Linda
