Quotes from Law School
There are always interesting remarks coming out law school so share them
I have one from a favorite prof that I wrote down a while ago because it was pretty much the best statement of grading I have heard.
Professor (after going over the exam and model answer in class): "You may be thinking to yourself, 'My answer was way better than that one!', but clearly *I* did not think so."

Re: Quotes from Law School
Crazy Con Law professor dismayed with a student's advocacy when discussing the government's position in a case: "Oh my. Have another cheezit."
Crazy Con Law professor re: grammar
"Ugh. Oh... you just used impact as a transient verb. Oh. You're killing me.
And at the end of class: "Have a good weekend everyone, and, Miss X, please don't ever use impact as a transient verb again."
Then there was the Ks prof with bowties who always stuck his tongue out and made weird noises... I can't really quote that, though.

Re: Quotes from Law School
Professor is talking about Plato and his belief that the "gold" level of people should all screw eachother to produce new generations that are as diverse as possible. Proffesor is a little audad, a little absentminded:
"So what did Plato think of promiscuity and fidelity as virtues? About multiple sexual partners?"
Silence
My byrd is sitting next to me and he says:
"Ms. Dunning, you know alot about this subject, Don't you?"
As it later turned out, he must have known something I didn't

Re: Quotes from Law School
My two favorites from first semester
"What really happened is a tree falling in the forest, unheard by a lawyer."
- Civ Pro
"Are you in fairy-land? Or some platonic cave?"
- Con Law, directed at me in response to my making a natural law argument about human rights! (good times...)

Civ Pro, after conceding that I had perhaps made the dumbest remark of the semester:
"No, Mr. Eremite, that was not even the dumbest remark of this class period."

Re: Quotes from Law School
These are all quotes from my Evidence Professor:
"I don't wanna have a mutiny on my hands"
"It's not like it's gonna help your grade"
"If I do my job, it'll be down from 70 to 40 in two weeks"
"You could have told me that it was something that I did, and I'd believe you."
"You know, the new Hillary they've been talking about"
"In relying on in vino vesitas, the witness may have given valuable testimony"
"I sure hope you don't think I'm sniffing because I just snorted some cocaine before class"
"If my goat ate your cabages, it wasn't my goat. If your cabages were eaten, they weren't your cabages. If my goat ate your cabages, my goat was drunk."
"When I was in Central Park, I saw this guy with a raincoat (opens jacket), but it had nothing to do with the weather."
"Well, the Victim is dead, so the only dragging was of his corpse out to the gurney."
Lawyer 1: "I object! That evidence is prejudicial!" Lawyer 2: "I sure as hell hope so! I'm trying to introduce evidence against you!"
"Now you're thinking like a lawyer. Clients come to you and pay $400/hr to hear, 'possibly'!"
"Well, if I start drinking at 2, I'll go to Crystal at 5 and get some cheeseburgers."
"Before y'all leave, I want you to help me sabotage these sons of bitches."
"I don't wanna have a mutiny on my hands"
"It's not like it's gonna help your grade"
"If I do my job, it'll be down from 70 to 40 in two weeks"

Ks professor explaining that he's taken pity on us and moved our midterm so that it doesn't coincide with our CivPro midterm:
"So when you snap, just remember that I was the nice one. Shots to wound only. My family crest was 'not in the face.'"
CivPro2 Prof on sovereign immunity:
"There's only one problem. We don't have a king. Except Elvis. And he's probably dead."

Re: Quotes from Law School
Oh yeah, same CP2 prof on Breyer quoting/citing to him all the time in decisions:
"I don't know how someone could read so much of my work and continue to always get it wrong!"
and
"Justice Rehnquist...now there's an oxymoron."
