DAYEdalera

Dear Students,

Congratulations!

You were able to enroll in my class: Hogwart’s School of Magic, Oooppps... Introduction to Law and Jurisprudence. In our class, a change in your lifestyle is inevitable. The things you normally do (txtn,chat,internet,dating?,dota,etc.) may take a backseat for your entire Saturday or weekend as the case may be: and the things you normally choose not to do – like read 200 pages for every class, you will be able to do. But, as they say “change is the only thing permanent in this world.”

So, brace yourself and join me for one semester of learning the LAW and hurdling the experience “just like LAW SCHOOL.”

Good luck and have fun!

MA'AM DAYE :D
