Lessons From Law School

I thought I would start posting these here, so I can keep track of them. They amuse me and I thought they might amuse you too! ^_^ Here's all the lessons I've learned so far:

10/8/09: Apparently accelerating into oncoming traffic is not an effective method of learning to fly like Batman. It's also not an excuse that will get you out of paying damages if you should happen to cause an accident while trying it. Just FYI.

?: We are being brainwashed. Literally. There is a plot amongst the various authors of our casebooks to force the creation of their preferred version of the law by way of influencing the young and impressionable minds of law students everywhere. These students learn to view the law through as their casebook authors frame it (that is, in the way these authors wish it to appear in future). These students then grow up to become judges, who rule on cases in the way they learned the law in law school. Voila! Author=unobtrusive creator of future law, just by sitting at home and writing a book or two. Now we all know who's really in charge in this country...

?: A professor who is also a good father sends his high school daughter to an all-girls school during the day, and walls her in at night to keep her away from the nefarious clutches of his first year law students. (warning to the male students, FYI for the future professors in the room)

9/11/09: 1) Don't shoot people; 2) don't shoot dogs; 3) don't throw Barbies; and 4) don't yell at clients on camera.

8/26/09: Lie, plagiarize, be disrespectful, and be aggressive. (The repetition of these is, obviously, a joking parody of the way they were stated by professors in class.)
