Welcome Melissa Hale as a Contributing Editor to the Blog

Please welcome Melissa Hale as a contributing editor of the blog.  Melissa will be posting her perspectives on Wednesdays.  For those of you who have not had the pleasure of meeting Melissa at a conference, I copied her bio below.  

Melissa is currently the Director of Academic Success and Bar Programs at Loyola University Chicago School of Law.  Prior to joining Loyola University Chicago School of Law, Professor Hale (Gill) served as a member of the faculty at the University of District of Columbia’s David A. Clarke School of Law, and the University of Massachusetts School of Law, Dartmouth. She focuses her teaching and research on the best techniques to prepare students for law school and the bar exam.

Professor Hale has served as vice president of LawTutors, LLC, where she provided individual and group bar exam tutoring, trained other instructors, and created and edited bar preparation materials, including Aspen Publisher’s What Not to Write series, and Blond's Multistate Bar Exam. She has also served as an instructor for Emanuel Bar Review and Themis Bar Review. Before becoming a teacher, she worked in private practice in Massachusetts, specializing in small businesses and workers’ compensation.

I look forward to reading her insights each week.
