	Duke of Argyll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Duke of Argyll is also the chief of the Scottish clan of Campbell and in this capacity is known as "MacCailean Mor", which is Gaelic, for "Son of Colin the Great" referring to Cailein Mor of Lochawe (Colin of Lochow) who was killed in fighting with the Lord of Lorne in 1294.
		His son, the 2nd Duke, was created Baron Chatham and Earl of Greenwich in 1705 as a reward for his support for the Act of Union and further elevated to the title Duke of Greenwich in 1719.
		Thus, the Duke is one of the only five people to hold two different dukedoms, the others being the Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay, the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, and the Duke of Richmond, Lennox and Gordon.

		Well, for me, at least, Duke was a package deal-- I came not only for the Law School, but for the Divinity School as well, and in some ways, it's difficult for me to think through the question solely in terms of my law school experience.
		As far as choosing Duke, while I have never though "man, I wish I was at Harvard/Yale/Virginia, etc." (okay, maybe a little during the clerkship application process), but I am not sure that passing on the University of Florida (I never applied) was such a good choice.
		The opportunity to establish roots in the legal community of my home state and to be unburdened by loans would have given me interesting career opportunities (most notably, working in a local DA's office as a prosecutor) that I am not seriously considering at this point.
