Litchfield Law School - Litchfield, Connecticut

This is quite frankly the most interesting law school you have never heard of. It is amazing that this small, barren, building is where law studies started in the U.S For those near New Haven, think about the Yale Law School campus while you sit at the desks inside this small building. Today we equate top law schools with Yale and Harvard, but this small house with no bathroom or internet is the genesis..

The best part about this place is that you can sit down at the reproduction law desks or stand at the podium and let your imagination run wild. While I was here I stood at the podium and gave an improvised speech about the legality of wearing cargo shorts as a man. Some guy walked in and listened to me, but he said I didn't know what I was talking about. I informed him I wasn't a lawyer and that I was just improvising.

Here is an interesting fact: the building has been moved a few times. Most of the building had to be replaced. If you look closely where the walls meet the ceiling, you will see white stained wood. That wood is the only original part of the building. The rest is a replacement.

Many people have trained here. The most favorite, I think is Aaron Burr. I really don't like him, because he shot Alexander Hamilton (no relation).

An amazing place to visit.. unfortunately I only had the time to check out the grounds in the garden in the rear of the property but I will return at some time in the near future, God willing, and take the tour that begins inside the building with the attendant there.
The garden in the back had a variety of areas where you can sit and enjoy the sights and sounds surrounding you.
