The Grey Area came from a column I have in the student news paper while a student at the Valparaiso University School of Law. The Grey Area aimed to contemplate legal and social issues at the forefront of current events or social conscious. The Blogger version of the Grey Area aims to do the same, but with more frequency. As I write this, I will continue to pen the pages of "The Forum" (the VUSL student newspaper) with the the same prose that fills these pages. Similarly, the monthly installment of the Grey Area appearing in "The Forum" will be posted here.

I want to provoke conversation. I want to tackle tough issues, and at times the best way to do so is to play devil's advocate. As a student of the law, another goal is to utilize the vastness of the internet as a medium for Constitutionally protected discourse. Enjoy, make comments, get pissed off, write your congressman or the President, only the people in a democracy can effectuate change.
