Spring Break

Dear Law Scholars,
Your much needed study break has arrived! Whether you'll be donning a bikini or flannel pajamas all week, we hope that you will come back bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to wrap up this semester.

In addition to spring break, this March brings with it Women's History Month and Saint Patrick's Day. To celebrate, we are featuring both Irish women and women that call The Great Plains home, who've shared their talents with the world. We also have some suggested reads that are on topic via HeinOnline.

AND, for you more artistic types, you might want to veg out to House of Cards while filling these and/or these in.
