Overheard at ASW Forum

[JuanitaFromTheDiner]

Two admitted students at the ASW I attended a few weeks ago, talking about the reading (Lawrence v. Texas) for a mock class:

Guy 1: "Did you do any of the readings?"
Guy 2: "Yeah, I looked over that one...Where the cops were responding to a call? And they come in and two bros are...you know..."
Guy 1: "Bro-ing it up?"
Guy 2: *laughs* "Yeah, bro-ing it up."

I know I'm late on this, but the Cornell thing is actually more insane than its come across here. Our property professor is awesome, really smart, but a bit of a spaceship. People constantly have to "pass" or say that they "read tomorrows reading" when called on and she just laughs it off. Its interesting because a lot of her scholarship is very theoretical and intelligent, but in class she's the biggest legal realist I've had in 1L (in terms of just making fun of property laws and rules that don't make sense and half-jokes about making sure not to get married).

She had no idea that kid was a visiting student. No idea.

He actually recited the facts well, he only started answering incorrectly when she asked him follow-up questions about Property concepts. Truly insane.

Sad I reached the end of this thread. Best laugh in a while. The central heating won the thread for me. Here's to more ASWs this month.

Heard on a tour:

"who in here is actually admitted"

*some people raise hands*

"Ok, just checking out my competition"

"These kids are democrats? Are they fu*king serious?"

The idea that someone is shocked that people in Boulder are democrats is particularly special.

After my mom strolled in like she owned the place at my basic training 48 hour pass, i had to do push ups in front of all the other families. not taking any chances this time... mom won't be coming with me to ASD.

lol what did she do

she walked up in front of our formation and asked to see me like i was at school or something... she didn't follow the family gathering process lol

[nyyankskid]

Hooray for colleges on the opposite coast. No danger of family embarrassment. My brother, who hosted me in NYC, may or may not have had one too many beers and brought up scholarship money at an accepted students reception.

I found that a lot a lot of people do that regardless at ASW...did he get too specific?

Lol

Aside from being super embarassed, I'd be pretty pissed, I won't lie

During a Q and A panel with successful alumni speaking of their post graduate life, a girl asks:

"so it sounds like most jobs are contingent upon passing the bar...?"

She might have meant passing first try, or having to pass before you can even apply for the job.

I suppose that's possible, but I could tell the alumni took it as I did, simply answering while pointing to his name tag " well you would have to if you want to have an esquire after your name" and everyone laughed. Maybe we are the simple ones haha

Why would you go to law school and not take the bar?

The clowns that volunteered (via email, three weeks in advance) to be called on during a mock evidence class.

[Mack.Hambleton]

people that go to ASWs for anything other than free drinks/food

[rion91]
