    Professors: How do you usually handle tipping in your classes? I write my venmo up on the board the first day so students can express their appreciation for an especially well-delivered lecture. Other ideas worked better for you?

    I know this is close to heresy, but more and more I'm coming around to the idea that: 1. Law school could be an undergraduate degree here in the US as it is in many places, and 2. Allowing that would improve access to justice more cost effectively than any other single reform.

    When I was practicing transactional law, the litigators would always make fun of us saying all we did was change the names in old forms. That just showed how ignorant they were of actual practice; we also changed the dates and sometimes other stuff too.
