I know that when I was in law school, laptops were a savior in taking notes and doing off-the-cuff case briefs, but I couldn't help drifting off to a series of commonly visited favorites and a game here and there. Despite my slight detours, I know this was nothing compared to some students who risked the full-screen games.  No Laptop Allowed
As expected, many law schools have either shut off internet access during the class or even banned laptops altogether. The most recent school to do shut off their internet is the University of Chicago. Over the years, many professors have taken their own initiative in banning laptops during their lecture. This is partly in response of professors having to often repeat the question after asking.
I think a lap top ban is a little extreme, but I know I and most of my colleagues would have concentrated more without the internet access.
Does your school limit internet use or have they even gone to the extent of banning laptops?
