By now, you've probably heard about Old Spice's campaign creating video responses to questions received on Twitter and Facebook. Their self-proclaimed "ridiculously handsome" spokesmodel has answered questions from George Stephanopoulos about the President's poll numbers, from Starbucks about coffee, and from dozens of regular folks about sharks, his abs, and assorted other things of little consequence.
That's all well and good, but wouldn't you rather have answers to questions on some truly entertaining topics? Statutory interpretation? Admiralty law? How to get into one of the nation's top law schools?
We thought so.
So send @UChicagoLaw a tweet with the hashtag #askUCLaw and we in the Communications office will find the faculty or staff member* with the expertise, intelligence, and wit** to answer that question in a way that will make the Old Spice guy's abs wilt in disgrace, and post a video reply.
You're welcome.***
