This Just In...

Now University of Michigan Law School wants me. Among other things I like about the school, UMich does far and away the best job at recruiting of all the law schools I've had contact with. And not just because they sent me a snazzy new blue plastic binder to keep my admit materials in, either. But their admissions department has a sure marketing touch. What can I tell you, I'm a filmmaker, I appreciate production value.

(In case you were wondering, Columbia made by far the worst showing in the recruiting game. Well, except for Appalachian School of Law. But the letter I got from Columbia, inviting me to apply, bordered on insulting.)

Still to come, replies from the schools that really don't have to bother with recruiting, so they don't: I speak, of course, of Harvard, Yale, Stanford. Leave it to one of them to break my heart.
