Lincsong said:Back in 1999 I was called and interviewed. The judge looked at my bio and said; "oh, you were in law school for one year. I guess you decided the law wasn't for you" To which I replied; "Not really, it was the professors who decided that they didn't like my interpretation of the law in torts and constitutional law who failed me". She dismissed me.
I left Michigan under a cloud after my first "Socratic method" recite for
Marbury. I answered all the prof's questions correctly, which he apparently
didn't expect, so I was dragged over the first three articles of
the Constitution for thirty minutes as a reward. After the lecture ended,
a scene from The Paper Chase soon developed, but I told everybody
to forget a protest letter. The incident did, however, bother me because I
realized that the entire lecture was a busted flush. I saw the dean the next
morning, cashed in my chips, and returned to Chicago where I enrolled in
an evening law class and worked the overnight shift at a brokerage firm.
I figured I could just as easily pull in a full time salary while a full time
law student. lol All I ever needed were the books, not the lectures.
