However, to fully grasp such a concept, one has to first understand that I was an accounting and finance under- graduate. I thrived with numbers and T-charts but never words. I had only taken two rudimentary English classes as an undergraduate because, after all, that was all that was required. As one should pre- sume, my written composition and analysis skills were less than re- fined when I enrolled in Creighton’s School of Law. Although lacking a background in formal writing, I found myself in a fortunate position clerking for a well-respected law firm during my 1L summer. That firm demanded, and rightfully so, that each of its clerks research legal issues to exhaustion prior to providing a writ- ten memorandum of how the applicable law would affect a client’s case or business objective. Honestly, I treaded water early on in meeting the firm’s expectations because I could not create concise and persua- sive written work product—something that is paramount in the legal profession. I simply had never been taught how to do so. As fate would have it, after spending the day clerking, I spent most nights researching my student note’s topic with the methodical assistance of Mr. P. Brian Bartels who was my Student Note Editor. In congruence with my clerkship, Mr. Bartels insisted that I research the applicable legal doctrines to exhaustion before I even wrote a sin- gle sentence for the note. Thereafter, to my genuine surprise, Mr. Bartels diligently began teaching me the intricacies of legal writing when he noticed that my written composition and analysis skills lacked refinement. Until that point in time, I truly believed that eve- rything associated with law school was based upon a “survival of the fittest” mentality given that everyone was graded on the dreaded bell curve and assigned a class rank. However, Mr. Bartels was someone who wanted to invest the time to teach a fellow student the complexi- ties of legal writing. Not only did the techniques Mr. Bartels taught help me in crafting a student note that would later be published but, after I applied the same to the memorandums I composed daily for my clerkship, I was able to parlay those refined memorandums into a clerkship my 2L summer and ultimately into an associate position which launched my legal career. Only later in life would I recognize that Mr. Bartels, like many other Law Review editors over the years, was simply fulfilling one of the Law Review’s cornerstone missions of 180 CREIGHTON LAW REVIEW [Vol.
