Law School and Laptops

Hayley's Platinum Plus Law School and Laptops Link

Sorry if the link doesn't show up... I'm at work.

At University of Memphis, the students are boycotting/protesting a professor that banned laptops in class. I understand her argument.(that they keep people from processing info), and Sewanee had the same policy. The laptops were distracting in small spaces (clicking all the time), and my profs. thought it kept people from listening and processing info in favor of simply remembering it long enough to get it on the computer, thus cheapening the “learning experience”.
I had an old-school English prof who calmly walked over to a laptop user, and closed his computer while he was typing, never ONCE breaking stride or lecture. V. impressive.
LeTal and CBry- does the laptop help… or do they just make you use them?
