Valpo Law School reference

[setshot]

Shields Up! Saw the movie "THE JUDGE" and there is an unflattering character in the film that refers to himself as being a Valpo Law School.grad. Not a good referral for the Law School or its graduate. But then again,IMO, Valpo Law is second rate. Anyhow,you be "The Judge."

In this case no matter how degrading the reference is, any publicity is good publicity.

I heard about that reference but haven't seen the movie itself. I agree though.....any publicity is good publicity.

A man named Nick Schenk wrote the original script for "The Judge."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Schenk

He is from Minneapolis and also wrote the script for "Gran Torino" which had a nice line about Lutherans. By the way, the only thing that Clint Eastwood changed about "Gran Torino" was the location (changed it from St Paul, which does have a Ford plant, to Detroit). Every line in Schenk's script was used except those pertaining to the Detroit location. Let's hear it for Schenk and Eastwood!!!!

Nick also co-wrote Robocop with 4 other writers.

Nick played the character of Butch the Janitor on the television series, Let's Bowl, during its initial syndicated run. He went on to be a writer for the series during its run on Comedy Central from 2001-2002. He also made appearances in small roles during this time.

I'm wondering if anyone from the Law School has sent Dax Shepard





a Valpo Law School t-shirt. He's the kind of guy who would wear it with pride. He's from the Detroit area originally.
