The great thing about being at a law school is you are surrounded by smart people. During lunch, I’d say more than 50% of the time, there is always a speaker or organization speaking on various topics. Today, Paul Rusesabagina, who is better known as the guy who Don Cheadle plays in the movie Hotel Rwanda, was here at the law school. Sadly we got out of torts late and the room was full. A police officer was outside saying the room had too many people in it. So I missed out.
