My name is Leigh McBride, and I am a junior here at OU. I am a philosophy major, and I am hoping to attend law school after graduation. I love my classes, but I will have an extremely difficult year due to my upcoming LSAT test date next June. My DREAM LAW SCHOOL is the University of Texas in Austin, but it is one of the hardest schools to get into in the southern half of the country. My dad graduated from UT with a bachelors in business and education, so I have always (secretly) been a longhorn. Everything I do this year will directly work towards my dream school! But always, I will always be a Sooner first and foremost: it is where I chose to attend my undergraduate years, so it will always be my true home.    University of Texas Clock Tower and West Campus Fountain This spot is where I took my family pictures each year  This year, I will be mostly studying for the LSAT, but I still work two jobs and participate in my sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta. I live...

Website Address:    Jatakas and Justice Site Website Name: Jatakas and Justice As you read through my storybook project, imagine you are a law student or just someone interested in the law and how it works.  In the Jatakas, a central theme is Dharma (which means law and order) for the characters to live by. I will be telling the stories from Yama's, the god of Dharma, perspective. The kind of experience I want to give to my readers is one that is unique from any other project that has been done. I want my readers to get a sense of my love for the law, and I want them to think of these “life lessons” that appear in Jatakas as laws to live by. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS!

Week 2 Story: The Turtle and The Geese

A new spin on the Turtle and the Geese Story: Once upon a time, a turtle was sitting on the riverbank enjoying the warm sun. The turtle has always wondered about the sun and how to become closer to it. The sun was bright and warm, and it made the turtle happy. One day, a bird came down to the riverbank for a drink. The turtle saw the bird flying closer to the sun and wondered what it would be like to fly. “What does the sun look like up close?” asked the turtle. “I feel so warm and bright when I fly, I love the sun. You should fly up there with me tomorrow” replied the bird. The turtle was engulfed with excitement about flying, but suddenly realized that he had no way of flying. “Don’t worry, friend. I will take you on a flight; you don’t need wings. Just find a rope to hold onto while I fly, but don’t speak of this to others until after you return to the ground” said the bird with a stern voice. Other animals at the river began to notice the commotion, and the...
