Sh*t Gunners Say Forum

[JoeFish]

We had a mandatory 1L career workshop. Pretty boring, but you know, presentations on networking and whatnot. We were split into two sections; one would see presentation A and the other B, and then they'd switch and the like.

The one career services dude gave us a presentation that lasted 30 minutes. For the other group, it lasted about 70 minutes because a college freshman had sneaked in and began asking dozens of questions about legal employment. I'm surprised he wasn't literally murdered.

1. Evidence
2. Asked about a particular hearsay exception for CA.
3. "Blah blah." Professor: "Not quite. Anyone el-" Gunner: "But BLAH BLAH BLAH, DERP BLAH DERP!" (It was revealed after class that gunner couldn't wrap head around idea of this rule being different in the federal [which she was quoting] and state evidence codes [which professor was asking about]).
4. Facepalm + stunned silence.

Not gunner, per se, but marginally inappropriate.

1. Upper division practical course.
2. Don't remember...
3. I'm paraphrasing, since I don't remember the details... She blurted this out towards the end of class, at thousand miles an hour in a nervous rambling, making everyone unnecessarily nervous for no good reason: "(*some question marginally related to how our 4 assignments over 2 semesters would be graded; remember, this is a 2L class post-OCI*) My scholarship is contingent on me making top 1/3 and in this economy I can't afford to lose it or else I'll be in massive debt and never able to find a job! blah blah blah."
4. Chill the fuck out.

Two more... I'm sleep deprived and studying for exams, so I apologize for the lack of detail.

Situation #1: Prof is lecturing on [some aspect of procedure], gunner raises hand and interrupts, "Well, in ancient Roman law, there was a procedure for blah blah blah..." for like five minutes. It didn't even try to be relevant to the point at hand.

Situation #2: Our TAs are hanging out with us and giving us valuable life/law-school tips. They mention with some eye-rolling that "there are some students who are, like, gonna try to ingratiate themselves with the profs who have the best reputations for letters of recommendation, and really aggressively get in their faces." So someone raises their hand and said, "And, um, those professors you mentioned. Could you list some of them?"

Gunner fail on that one. I thought rule 1 was don't explicitly admit to your gunnerism.

Was I the only one hoping for a YouTube video when I saw the thread title?

Law Revue get on it... (or not, the meme is pretty tired)

The 1,2,3,4 format doesn't apply to my story, but one of the gunners pitched a hissy fit that all of our professors preferred cold calling over taking volunteers. He spoke with the professors. They didn't care. He went to the registrar to see if he could be switched to another section so that he could rest easy knowing the other professors would not ignore him when he raised his hand 5 million times a class. I haven't seen him in a while. Not sure if they obliged him or if he dropped out. He always talked about how he had been IQ tested as a genius, had an amazing LSAT score, and would be transferring to HYS because he knew he would be ranked #1. I go to a TTT, mind you.

He transfered to HY and S after his practise final score came out.

1. Contracts

2. Another kid was trying to say something about some topic, not sure exactly the details.

3. Gunner hops in and says: "I think what Another Kid was trying to say, but JUST COULDN'T ARTICULATE GOOD ENOUGH, was that blah blah blah (something that sounded pretty articulate)."

4. In Gunner's defense, I think Gunner has a kind heart and didn't realize how Gunnerish the statement came across.

Am I the only one that cringed at "articulate GOOD enough"? If you're gonna gun, use proper grammar.

A college student sat in on a friend of mine's crim law class and he was a proto-gunner. To make matters worse, the professor gave the kid the power to pick who got cold called and the guy got drunk with power.

Same, corrected that in my head while reading it

We have a gunner who speaks only in random sprayings of black letter law vomit. It's like he's a vacuum cleaner for legalese that goes on reverse every time he tries to answer a question. The other day in Contracts he raised his hand to answer a simple question about consideration and spoke for about 2 minutes, shoehorning in three or four irrelevant concepts that we hadn't even covered yet. One time in Torts the prof mentioned diversity jurisdiction in passing, and he responds by mumbling to himself, "requires a complete diversity of parties and a claim for relief exceeding $75,000..."

He's like this even in casual conversation. That part is extra weird.

Hmm... That is odd but in all seriousness is maybe indicative of an Asperger's-spectrum condition or something like that

I kind of like it. Maybe it's a method of memorizing these phrases.

Girl I've never spoken to: "Hi!!!" Me: "hi." "Have you gone to see Torts Prof about your Torts exam?" "Not yet." "I HAVE." "Was he harsh?" "Well, I wouldn't know...I mean he was pretty nice to me but that's because I got an A+" *smug smug smug*

This was in the library. I later heard her asking another table the same question.

Make sure it's painful.

Course: Property

Question: Some nonsense about void title and adverse possession.

Response: "WHEN I WAS AT MY (INSERT V10 HERE) 1L SA INTERVIEW LAST WEEK, the real estate partner and I talked about this and he said XYZ."

Class Reasction: General disbelief. Synchronized eye rolling. The professor told said gunner that he basically didn't give a shit. It was chill.

I thought students at my school were pretty bad but I can't recall one classroom incident in my two years in law school comparable to some of the douchebaggery in this thread.
