Just to clarify a point, "years' experience" is correct and is equivalent to saying "years of experience," just as saying "a year's experience" is equivalent to "one year of experience." However, it is unnecessarily literary for a resume, particularly one for law school.cantorb wrote:maracuya wrote:I would go with "in a variety of subjects."

Good point about the 'years of'. In a variety feels right but I have a feeling it's not.
Correct. This is one of the places where being right is actually going to be distracting and might even look wrong to most readers.PoopyPants wrote:Just to clarify a point, "years' experience" is correct and is equivalent to saying "years of experience," just as saying "a year's experience" is equivalent to "one year of experience."

Also, agree about being specific. Just list the subjects.
