Just FOLLOW THE MONEY and you will discover the real agenda of the European Union and their accomplice in America, the American Bar Association (ABA). It is nothing more than a poorly disguised, backdoor attempt to abolish the death penalty in Kentucky.

By Intern Lesley Stout If I had a dime for every time I’ve heard a lawyer say law school doesn’t teach you how to be a lawyer, my student loans would be paid in full! While that statement does not always hold true, the fact remains that most law schools devote the majority of three years to classroom lecturing as opposed to the teaching of practical skills. Certainly there are opportunities for acquiring these skills through various classes and internship opportunities in the summer.
