Hi everyone,
My name is Michael West, and I am a non-traditional student. I have a full time job, a wife, 2 teenagers, and I attend school at night. I attend Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School. I tend to make jokes about life constantly and try not to ever take life to serious. I am a 2L part time at night. I know everyone is thrilled SPU has finally opened its doors!
I have never posted a blog so, this is also a learning experience.
I am looking forward to getting to know everyone!
It’s terrific that you are jumping right in. You are going to learn from several successful bloggers, led by the Blawgfather, Grant Griffiths, just how powerful blogging can be to build reputation and your practice.
Make sure to watch the wordpress tutorials and have fun.

MIchael — Welcome to SPU. I was a non-traditional student too. I had 4 sons when I was in law school at the age of 35. No longer practicing law at all.
Wonderful to see you taking advantage of the blogging feature here at SPU. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to buzz me. Always glad to help.

Welcome to SPU.
I was (guess I am still) rather untraditional. At least I get accused of that all the time… but I digress. I worked nights & went to law school during the day. I remember “fondly” post-work naps in the parking lot of school before class. Here’s my tip: Hook a digital watch with alarm over the earpiece of your sunglasses. Snooze away & just hope your buddies don’t see you whacking the side of your face, looking for the snooze button.

I am right there with you. I am married with six children. I work full time and attend Thomas M. Cooley Law School on the weekends. I will be graduating in December and taking the bar in February. Here’s to all the non trads everywhere! I am really looking forward to all SPU has to offer now and most assuredly in the future.

Wow! I have no idea how you do it! Let me know if there is anything I can offer to help you all keep the balls in the air!
