The little things . . .

So bar review sucks, yada yada, but little things still make me laugh so they get shared with you lucky people. Whilst preparing for Crim Law review, I flashed back to our first year final. Daisy and I hated crim law for various reasons - me because the professor mocked me for going to Wisconsin and I am a BUFFALO not a Badger, and because he made some truly insensitive comments about rape law and you KNOW that pissed me off; and Daisy because um, she just did. So we never really paid attention and then along came the final.
We both finished in about one hour, walked out, and of course started discussing our answers.
Daisy: I wrote that putting a baby in a suitcase is probably illegal but that I wasn't sure why.
AH: I wrote that there was "probably some sort of gun charge" in the fact pattern, but that I wasn't sure what.
Both: Oh dear.

And? I am pretty sure it was the best first year grade for both of us. Maybe honesty and sheer dumb luck pay off, after all.

And we got a 1.5 hour headstart on the "yay I finished my first year of law school" drinking extravaganza. I vaguely remember calling my parents to tell them I would be retaking crim law due to the imminent F I would recieve.

Did you have the professor who also taught section B? He too had some exceedingly coarse comments regarding rape law. Oh and he ACTED OUT a scenario, playing both roles. Talk about inappropriate. Your description of the final made me flash back to mine as well. Oh the glory days of being a 1L.

Hmm, I don't think it was the same prof, I just think that middle aged men probs aren't the best suited to teach rape law in general. So creepy Crim Law plus pervy Torts law = AH never learned either. Neat.
