“BAS” (Before Academic Support)

Those of us who are over 50 … okay, maybe even 40 … have dark memories about attempting law school without academic support. 

Paula Poundstone – who, as far as I know, never attended law school – seems to sum up law school life before academic support . . .

Paula "My mom told me how she learned to swim.  Someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat.  That’s how she learned how to swim.  I said, ‘Mom, they weren’t trying to teach you how to swim.’"   (djt)
