Small Shop Web Flop

Usually, our Small Shop Web Flops are focused on law firms that really should have put some additional effort into their internet presence. This week's installment, however, highlights (or lowlights) the website one of the nation's newest law schools (yes, more law schools are still opening), Elon University School of Law.

As I was reviewing this new school's Facilities page, the above photo popped up. At first glance, this looks like your typical law school classroom. A closer inspection, however, reveals the "Where's Waldo" quality of this snapshot. Check out how almost everyone in the class is busy typing out notes (or checking their gmail) on their laptop. Everyone, except the "third-career" student sporting overalls in the front row who is inexplicably glancing to the left with a "gosh, that guy looks like my great-grandson" look on his face. Come on Elon, it's about time you let everyone get access to your first-rate technology. If you don't, how are you ever going to be the "law school with a difference."
