A Word from the Editor
Much of the information about MLS contributors is out of date, because I foolishly wrote author information without regard for archiving. So instead of “class of 2009″ for example, I frequently defined contributors by their 1L, 2L, 3L, or 4L status. One of these days I’ll clean this all up.
Erik
My name is Erik Schmidt (not to be confused with Google’s Eric Schmidt or New York Times writer Eric Schmitt). I’m a 2008 graduate of the Santa Clara University School of Law, and a web producer and marketing jack of all trades at FastPencil, an online book publishing company. I write the FastPencil Marketplace blog. Feel free to check out The Perils of Punditry, my professional blog, LinkedIn profile, and del.icio.us bookmarks if you are so inclined. Or you can contact me via email at erik@maclawstudents.com.
Aaron
Aaron Gott is a Fall 2007 graduate of Iowa State University with a B.A. in Political Science. He has three years of experience at the Iowa State Daily, serving as both a columnist and opinion editor while he was a student. Also a Sergeant in the Army Reserve and Iraq veteran, Aaron plans to attend the University of Iowa College of Law or University of Minnesota Law School. He may have watched to much of The Practice when he was a kid, but he still hopes to become private practice criminal defense lawyer.
Brad
Brad Gardner is a 1L at The John Marshall Law School in Chicago. A former hard-core PC user (and Apple hater), he made the big switch 2 years ago and has never looked back. Brad has a MacBook Air laptop and a “Hackintosh” desktop (a PC running OS X 10.5). With an Aviation background, including being a Certified Flight Instructor, Brad hopes to practice in the area of Aviation law.
Brian
Brian is a 2L at the University of Michigan Law School, and he will be spending his summer at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. He was originally trained as a scientist, and he is still occasionally surprised that he ended up in law school. A former Linux user as well as a former writer, Brian spends his days trying to bring technological sanity to the practice of law. He is an editor on the Michigan Journal of Law Reform and the Michigan Technology and Telecommunications Law Review, and his legal interests include Internet Law, Criminal Procedure, and the law of Evidence. Brian enjoys fencing, rock climbing, running, and strong bourbon. He claims to have acquired a large portion of his legal intuition from comic books. His favorite Mac program is Scrivener, his favorite movie is Good Will Hunting, and his favorite book is The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, by Michael Chabon.
Gianpaolo
Gianpaolo Macerola provided his Civil Procedure OmniGraffle diagrams and is a 2L at the South Texas College of Law. His primary interest is in litigation, most likely criminal. You can find out more about Gianpaolo at macerola.com.
Greg
Greg is 2L at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He’s been using Macs since his parents purchased an LCIII in 1993 – long before it was cool. He is also the proud owner of a first-generation iPod and is on his third Mac laptop. A former news-editorial major at UNL, he is still interested in the intersections between the law and journalism: specifically mass media and the first amendment, legal reporting, telecommunications law and policy, and cyberlaw.
James
James Miller is finishing his 1L year at Texas Wesleyan University School of Law. He plans to take the patent bar this summer as he is interested in biological patents. James converted to the Mac two years ago with a PPC Mac-mini and hasn’t looked back.
Kaitilin
Kaitilin Lowdon wrote the review of Mori. She attends Monash University, in Melbourne, Australia, where she is studying a double degree, Science and Law. Her favourite subjects are Contract law and anatomy. When she finishes studying she hopes to work as a barrister, specialising in either human rights, environmental, or commercial law. Outside of studying she likes to ski and surf, and has worked as an instructor of both.
Mark
Mark Fisher reviewed TypeIt4Me. Mark is a graduate law student at the University of Sydney, Australia. He has worked as a university tutor in contract law and as a research assistant to a leading police employment law academic. When Mark doesn’t have his head in a law text you will find him doodling on a musical instrument or behind his coffee machine trying to a pull a perfect shot of espresso.
Scott Palmer
Scott wrote the review of Circus Ponies Notebook. He is a third year evening student at the University of Baltimore School of Law. When not attending classes, Scott is the Research and Development director of a small software company. His areas of interest in the law are are the special needs of the elderly and intellectual property. Scott enjoys kayaking and racquetball when it’s time to unwind from all that law and computer work.
Scott Pollock
Scott is a member of the Class of 2010 at the George Washington University Law School. In addition to contributing at Mac Law Students, he writes a blog called Surviving Law School.
Shaw
Shaw Cunningham is a 3L at Baylor Law School in Texas and a self-described Mac fanatic. He has reviewed RSS Menu and iListen for TLF.
Timothy Lee, Jr.
Timothy (class of 2012) attends the Duke University School of Law, and is the man responsible for kicking MLS back to life in February, 2010.
Timothy Roes
Timothy Roes is a 1st Master law student at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium. His law fascination lies primarily with European and Tech Law, and he’s totally into Moot Courts. Besides that, he often gets tangled up in his interest for too wide a range of subjects, from art to philosophy to quantum physics and Pink Floyd. Timothy enjoys the view from the Tuscan hills, accompanied with a glass of white wine and some good literature; sailing; and running early in the morning. He totally digs – Mac software. For the moment Timothy is in love with Quicksilver and the speech function on his MacBook.
