Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law student Russell Hollis won $12,500 in cash and prizes on “Wheel
of Fortune.” Hollis’ episode aired Nov. 23, but was taped in September, so he’s had to be quiet about his
winnings for a few months.
Hollis won $7,500 in cash and a $5,000 gift card to Sears, although he didn’t make it to the bonus round. He said his
goal was to have fun on the show, which may have helped him handle his nerves. Hollis also pointed out that the wheel is heavy,
so that may have prevented him from studying the puzzles while spinning the wheel.
“Being a contestant on the ‘Wheel of Fortune’ helped me realize it is significantly more difficult to solve
puzzles as a contestant on the show than it is from the comfort of my living room,” he said.

With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.

Jack, I was only responding to bill's comment of tying everybody in government together. I agree with you though, it takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.. As in any profession. What's truly unfair is when somebody violates someone's trust and takes complete advantage of someone

John’s comment is unfair. The majority of attorneys can be trusted. Unfortunately, all it takes is one greedy, unscrupulous, immoral attorney to jade the public.

In regards to bill's comment about trusting the cover meant. We can trust them about as much as we can trust attorneys'.

This is disturbing to learn...
