Getting Back on Track? An Update.

By Rob Wiltbank

Greetings, folks.

I’m looking to get things back on track, albeit in baby steps.   My name is Rob Wiltbank and I’ll be lending a hand to Neil for the foreseeable future with Life of a Law Student.  Between law school, some personal commitments and, of course, being a good husband, it’s going to be difficult for him to have as active of a role as he’s had in the past.

So, a little about myself…  By day, I’m a web and database application developer at Delaware Technical & Community College.  By night, I’m an Adjunct Faculty member for our Computer Science department.  You may be asking yourself, “How does that qualify you to take over LoaLS?”  And the short answer is, “It doesn’t.  Not really… well, kinda sorta.”  Perhaps more explanation is in order.

On the back-end of things, I’ll be able to maintain the site and keep the code current — the day to day operation of web applications is right up my alley.  Additionally, I’ve done professional audio production in the past, so creating quality podcasts will also be a fairly simple task, which comes to the big issue…  What’s my legal experience?!

Glad you asked!  In addition to my family and those pesky day and night jobs, I’ve also made it a goal in my life to earn my J.D..   So, working for a college, I get fairly sweet deals on tuitions (read: free) at my institution and at the University of Delaware.  So, I’m currently in a connected program between these two educational facilities to obtain my A.A.S./B.A. in Criminal Justice as a Pre-Law Major before going off to Widener University’s School of Law, so I will be producing podcasts on the material that will be covered in my course of study.

So, in the meantime, we’ll be doing a bit of house cleaning and re-organizing to get everything up to date — hopefully, you won’t notice much of a change.  Once the Fall semester begins, I’ll look at posting a podcast introduction and follow it up with what’s being covered.

If you have any suggestions for updates, content or changes, please leave a comment and we’ll make a list to see what’s workable.
