About Me

I started this blog as a way of building an online community of current and past Ivy Tech paralegal students, as well as letting people interested in our program know what we're up to. This blog is not sponsored by Ivy Tech. No way, no how.

My name is Linda Kampe, and I'm the program chair of Paralegal Studies in Lafayette, Indiana. My office is in Ivy Hall 1166. Stop by and chat. For best results, make an appointment, so I know to expect you. And if you bring your own cup, I'll make you tea. Because hey, we're not animals.

Commas: Who Needs 'em? We All Do!

Several of you have brought this case to my attention, and I absolutely love it. The case is a wonderful illustration of why I, like most legal professionals (and ALL the good ones) obsess about things like punctuation. It matters!

Comma Case

The more astute among you will note that there is also a parallelism issue which reinforced the court's ruling. I noticed that none of the major news outlets picked up on that, probably because parallelism is to erudite for the hoi polloi. (Oh, look! Words to google!) But we see it, right?

Feel free to comment--but all comments will be reviewed by me before they get posted. I will not post anything scurrilous about Ivy Tech students, faculty, or staff, or about members of the local community. Truth is not a defense. This just isn't going to be that kind of blog.
