Overworked: A Legal Fiction

By Deidre J Owen and Ronald Linson

Law student Joshua Jacobs is exhausted! He's deep into his final semester, the Bar Exam looms large on the horizon, and the family drama just won't quit. Why did he think he could work part time, too?

His friend and co-worker, Robin, is trying hard to set him up on a date (or at least drag him out for a beer), but Joshua wavers. Feeling behind in his studies and getting robbed of his weekend, he's tempted to spend another evening at the library drooling on books.

Drinks and dancing at a downtown nightclub, or the continued relentless pursuit of all things legal? Another night of study and Joshua might just lose his mind!
