There are enough fans of Edinburgh here, I vote Leiden. It's a lovely place, and the Dutch are lovely people.    → comment by KingCasey on May 20, 2008 Go Dutch. I'm tired of hearing about Edinburgh as well.    → comment by vinny9 (#33) on May 20, 2008 wow guys...your suggestions couldn't have been more arbitrary! So you are pretty serious about this "law" business eh Chris? I personally think you should go with Leiden Chris, the Edinburgh website was way too text-heavy.    → comment by Maryam (#72) on May 21, 2008 Do they offer any of these classes?    → comment by vinny9 (#33) on May 21, 2008 Here is some empirical data to help Chris: DOUBLE Dutch, SINGLE malt Scotch. Double is most certainly better than Single, except when it comes to punches in the crotch. Therefore, go to Leiden. Quad Erat Demonstratum.    → comment by Gbrowdy (#55) on May 21, 2008 Have you considered, however, that "to go Dutch" is an idiom meaning "to have each person pay his/her own expenses"? And this, of course, is only part of a long lexical legacy of the word "Dutch" being used as a modifier to mean "kooky" or "troublesome" (consider, "Dutch auction", "Dutch concert", "Dutch courage", "Dutch door", "in Dutch"). Given all that, who knows what "Dutch law school" might really entail. ("Scotch", on the other hand, is a verb meaning "to end swiftly", which is a quality you would most certainly want in a law school.) I would also point out that the Dutch are not lovely people. They are, quite to the contrary, a bunch of Boers.    → comment by goodladd (#144) on May 22, 2008 goodladd, I was disappointed you left out "Dutch oven" I will arbitrarily vote for Leiden as well. +1 different from Edinburgh.    → comment by dustin (#1) on May 22, 2008 goodladd, you unfortunately did not end your admittedly formidable argument with Q.E.D., thus rendering it impotent and moot. Q.E.D. makes arguments work, which one needs in law school. Q.E.D. comes from Latin. Leiden is closer to the former Roman Empire than Edinburgh. T herefore, Leiden would be a stronger choice for law school. Quad Erat Demonstratum.    → comment by Gbrowdy (#55) on May 22, 2008 Gbrowdy has ended both his posts with "Quad Erat Demonstratum" [sic], leaving all his arguments unproven. Clearly, then, Edinburgh must be the better choice. Quod erat demonstrandum    → comment by Bryan (#22) on May 22, 2008 Two Shea, Bryan.    → comment by Gbrowdy (#55) on May 22, 2008 I think all this is really distracting us from the crucial point here: hasn't Chris already *been* to law school? This apparent choice he has presented us with is just an attempt to busy us arguing with each other while he quietly slips off to a year's "education" at some cushy European resort. C.Q.F.D.    → comment by goodladd (#144) on May 23, 2008
