U. of Chicago Law School Blocks Internet Access

Scott Jaschik writes "While some individual professors have banned laptops from classes at various colleges, the University of Chicago law school is going further, cutting off wireless and wired access in its classrooms to confront what officials see as out-of-control Web surfing. The story was first reported in the Above The Law 'legal tabloid' late last month. Students and the university's CIO question the strategy." Things will get interesting when Sprint WiMax service lights up in Chicago later this year.

Actually he has a point. Unlike medicine where a doctor has an obligation to protect his patient, a lawyer has none. Their only oath is to serve the law and nothing else.

One would hope that one of the top faculties in the country would give decent lectures!
