Most Annoying Things to Happen to You as a Law Student Forum

[annapavlova]

People who came to law school on a whim at the last minute because they hated their jobs, but don't really have a general interest or passion for the law.

Also, people who come to law school with no knowledge of politics or how the government works generally, so in con law, they ask stupid questions.

Outlining for con law.

Con Law.

or, 1Ls who think they know everything about the government, how it works, and like to point out their intellectual supremacy by chiding those whose undergraduate careers did not teach them the federal court hierarchy.

Using that extreme does not serve your argument.

You shouldn't be taught in law school who Ken Starr is and whether Ginsburg is liberal or conservative - you should know this by living in the world and having adequate observation skills. I would like someone to know that there are distinct Articles and Amendments to the Constitution BEFORE attending higher(est). It's sad.

Um... I don't see why any of that matters. You go to law school to learn the law, and you enter politics to play the whose-dick-is-bigger game. Personally, I think that everyone should know that the derivative of exp(x) is exp(x), but I'm not making a big deal about it.

The bolded is the most frequently assumed and false proposition in law school. You go to law school to learn how think about the law and then they tell you to go study for the bar so you learn the law. Law school as much a dick measuring contest as politics.

Sorry, you are correct. I wrote that in class, and probably should've expanding a little more, since it's one of my biggest pet peeves when people say "the law," anyway. I feel like it's akin to writing, "I want to to go to law school because I love the law," in a personal statement. You don't go to law school to learn the facts and the rules used in deciding Palsgraf or Erie.. you're there to learn the reasoning. With that in mind, I don't think that slip up necessarily detracted from my overall argument.
