Redeeming Law: Part I -- Discussion
Welcome, everybody, to the first week of our "online book club"!
You should have started reading by now-- at least I hope you're getting ready to read-- and our discussion will kick off in full on Friday. Feel free to post any preliminary comments or observations as we get underway, even though the discussion technically doesn't start until June 5.
If you're online and ready to go, however, I'd appreciate it if, between now and Friday, anyone who is reading the book (or engaging in the discussion without reading-- just like law school . . . ) would introduce him- or her-self to the group. Just a quick word about who you are, why you are interested in the discussion, and where you're from. It will be nice to get a feel for how many we have in our discussion group.
Later, as we get started, I'll set out some ground rules to guide us, but generally, I'd like everyone to feel free to jump in with comments and observations, interact with others' comments, and pose questions for the group. If you prefer to just lurk and listen, that's okay, too! I'll be free with questions and challenges to get the discussion moving, but I have no special role in the discussion other than to make sure it flows. Dan Kim, deputy director at Law Student Ministries, will help me do that as well.
Since I'm the author of the first book, I might take a more active role in pushing the discussion, but please don't hold back if you have challenging questions or thoughts about the readings.
I'm certainly looking forward to this. Thanks for joining in!!

Greetings,
I'm Kerriel Bailey a Regent Law alum and big fan of both CLS and Mike Schutt.
I am a solo practitioner at K. Bailey Law, PC in Virginia Beach, VA. But I'm on my way to Pohang, South Korea to teach a summer Legal Writing session at Handong International Law School.
I've been married to my best friend Kurt for the past 23 years and I'm the proud mom of two great sons (and a lovely daughter-in-law).
This is a great book and I'm looking forward to a discussion on it.
