[blindlaw] online LLM

[Michael Fry]

Good question.  The LLM provides additional education about a subject
of particular interest to me.  Additionally, I think it improves the
attractiveness of my resume.  My goal was to be an attorney for a
government agency.  Though I applied to numerous positions I was not
hired until the LLM was on my resume.  That could have been a
coincidence, or, it may have helped me get hired.  I will never know
for sure, but I surmise the LLM helped me get the job.
