10:40 Grammar - "Draconian"

[@costalamb3065]

To quote your former dean Lee Bollinger. “It would be a waste to study law in preparation for law.” And “If we can summarize it in a nutshell, study something interesting and hard.”

[@Connor-uz8ib]

Thanks, Dean Z! I’d already used “draconian” twice today as I waited in the freezing cold to vote!

[@reginaldcharles1133]

Dean Z it's amazing I've heard of draconian rules but never new the history of it until now... Thanks Dean Z you're absolutely fantastic

[@hsy271]

As always, thank you for your insightful videos, Dean Z! :)

[@hyojinlee]

Thank you so much for this video, Dean Z :) ❤️

[@katherinemartinez-fuentes4572]

Love your videos Dean Z! I sent my application last month to UMich which talks about my focus on International Transactional Law! And I know UMich has an amazing clinic with this focus! Please keep posting these vlogs! They're extremely helpful...

[@TheMatthew9201]

I got accepted with a focus on international transactional law as well so good luck to you!

[@Le_Samourai]

I learned about Draco and Draconian rules in middle school...

[@eunice6734]

this is nice!

[@VirtualMayhem888]

I swear these videos are pushing me to apply to Michigan, but my budget is extremely constrained. Any way I can still get a fee waiver?

[@chuyuwei7675]

Me too! I never thought about Michigan before but now I'm definitely applying. Hope you will be able to get a waiver

I think all the information you want to know about Michigan Law's "waiver of the application fee" is at www.law.umich.edu/prospectivestudents/admissions/applyingtomichigan/Pages/ApplicationFee.aspx
