Loved seeing several classic originals there, including...

Even though we're the #1 economy, China and the EU aren't far behind.

This evening's b-law class topic is criminal law. Mostly general concepts like search warrants and Miranda warnings followed by white collar and cybercrimes, with a little blue collar crime tossed in.
