My wife grew up catholic and I Presbyterian. Before our wedding, a mutual acquaintance staged an intervention to try to prevent my soul being condemned to hell for marrying a papist. Simultaneously, my wife’s grandmother said God wouldn’t be in our marriage because I wasn’t Catholic.

In the few cases where law students/grads have sued their school, I’ve always thought it was a no-win situation. Either your grads filed a feckless case they can’t win and reveal themselves to be duds, or you did prepare them well and they’ll get damages out of you.
