A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Mike Kowis, Esq., has taught fun and engaging night classes at a large community college in Texas since 2001. He commands the attention of his students by using the Socratic-lite Teaching Method, occasional swear words, as well as heavy doses of juvenile jokes, wild examples, and other tomfoolery. With his upbeat attitude and joking demeanor, it's hard to believe that he lives out his days as a mild-mannered tax attorney at a Fortune 500 company. Mr. Kowis has a bachelor's degree plus two law degrees, including an advanced law degree from Georgetown University Law Center. He lives in Texas with his wife, Jessica, and their two children.
