People wrote better papers than you.

[EncyclopediaOrange]

4 credits of LRW? In one semester? That's bogus.

[rpupkin]

People wrote better papers than you.

But how could people write better papers than him if he has an A- average in other classes? Seems unlikely.

1L grades are so important. Since your professor screwed up you can get him on malpractice just hire a lawyer. Try to get as much public attention as possible, since law professors shouldn't be permitted to do this kind of shit.

Rpupkin is not giving bad advice. Law professors screw up too much someone needs to do something about it.

One student going to administration never does much, but 10? 20? Try to post on facebook about it.

Are you suggesting a flash mob?

Because that sounds awesome.....but only if they have some sort of dance routine they could do in front of the administration building.

Perhaps do the dance number from Britney Spears, "I'm a [debt] slave for you."

Wait...your prof said what was about right? The grade you got? The correlation between your "A- student" status and your LRW grade? Something else?

no we talked numbers,and he said my grade was correct based on the numbers.

Sounds like BS. Demand to see said "numbers," and watch him cave.

i can't tell if this is shadenfraud

You know neither what schadenfreude is nor how to spell it.

Intentionally. So, that's a start.

Yes but "schadenfraud" sounds like it could be a great portmanteau - the thrill of watching someone else fail from fraudulent advice you or someone else gave.

Not that anyone is doing that here of course.

OP: you gotta fight for your rightful grade or it'll have to sit. Informal/Rule-of-Thumb "statute of limitations" on these things at most schools is until the start of the next semester. If you don't fight it til then, then the grade stays.

This is incidentally why some law schools don't release Fall grades until well after the Spring semester starts. It's definitely not because law professors can't work up the willpower to quickly read 30-100 shitty essays by self-entitled people who don't know what they're talking about.

eta: holy shit "schadenfraud" is already a thing

[Gifted Hands]

Interesting. Did you happen to use lots of metaphors in your legal writing? Perhaps your LRW instructor has moderate autism like I do and thus takes everything literally. That could explain the outlier grade in LRW.

eh 166/180. but i think i used a few

that's the score I gave your joke/insult. nicely done. prob even good enough for gtwon at sticker which is a good idea btw

I don't know what this word means, but (a) yes, you're being trolled, if that's what you meant; and (b) I'm going to make up a definition for this and use it.

But this did not sound like schadenfreude.

ETA a serious answer:
Of course your LRW grades can be significantly different than all your other grades. It's a totally different skill set than literally all other 1L classes. Mine was .5 below my non-LRW GPA.

[ronanOgara]

After receiving an unsatisfactory grade in one class, I drafted a complaint titled "RonanOGara v. Professor _______" and argued for me to receive a higher grade. I supported my position with legal authority. I sent this professor the complaint and informed him he had 14 days to file an answer or simply raise my grade. It worked.

[emkay625]

I suspected Gifted Hands was flame and now you've confirmed it. Nicely played over the past few days. Took it a teensy bit too far with this one though.

[Gifted Hands]

Well, I just got told at a a social event to all the other interns that I would make the best plaintiff's atty and he would give me a glowing recommendation based on my personality. I have not even turned an assignment in yet. this was said after I left. how much more brown-nosing should I do with this guy? and should I ask him to contact my LRW teacher? this is like an important person at the office

look, have y'all heard the phrase "you know you're losing when you start attacking grammar?"

but your point is valid

Definitely bring this up when you go over your paper with your LRW Prof. They need to understand it is about the big ideas presented and not the nuts and bolts.
Coincidentally, this is the title of my case note.

you'd be stupid not to

[FascinatedWanderer]

I lose all hope for the profession when I realize people like Gifted Hands will be lawyers. Sigh.

are you serious? he's the solicitor general of a state and a HYS grad. I'm trying to arrange for us to have some lunches together so we can become closer. But he is not my supervisor.

[LeeAllen]

he's [. . .] a HYS grad

[rpupkin]

Gifted Hands is kind of like DaRascal without the acute sociopathy. I'm getting bored of the flame.
