And I said I wanted an escape from the LAW . . . hahahahaha!

 Clearly I was kidding.

(I posted this to my tumblr [yourenotaloneinthis] already....so my apologies if you're seeing this twice.)

I first learned of Tyler Coulson when Above the Law published his departure memo in which he announced he was leaving his job as an associate in Big Law to walk across the U.S. with his dog.

I have been talking about traveling across the U.S. myself—although on bicycle rather than my two feet.  I began keeping track of his progress via twitter and eventually his website.

His walk has long since finished, and he’s back home in Chicago.  He hasn’t stopped posting though.  A while back he started writing a tongue-and-cheek play entitled The Associate of Stratford-upon-Avon.  It’s quite amusing (at least for lawyers, people working in the legal profession).  If you’re interested, check it out here.

Today, he posted about law school reform—an incredibly necessary reform that has provoked much discussion but really no action.  It’s thoughtful and thought-provoking.  For those of you in law school or, more important, interested in law school, check it out.
