The Drexel Law Rewrite: Take Out Left Foot, Insert Right Foot.

Remember the original text:

Today, only retired partners, law firm messengers, and people needing a quiet place to think or write can be found in law libraries, as virtually all legal resources have been digitized and made accessible through electronic data library services. Today, lawyers can access the law wirelessly from their offices, or over their BlackBerries®.

Now the rewrite, straight from the horse's mouth:

Today, virtually all legal resources have been digitized and made accessible through electronic data library services. Today, lawyers can access the law wirelessly from their offices, or from the beach, over their BlackBerries®.

Virtually all? I think not.

BlackBerries for legal research? About as efficient a research tool as a Newton, isn't it?

From the beach? What kind of lawyers does this school intend to produce? Beach bums?

This reminds me of a story a billing partner once told. He said he had to explain to a summer associate that he could not bill time "thinking about the client's problem while in the shower."

Right about now, somebody at Drexel better pick up the phone to hire a law library consultant.

Update (6/25): A representative from Drexel Law has informed me that a law library consultant has been hired.
