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 (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.

Story on the writing of Gran Torino.
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.
