Two amusing things about some of my fellow classmates:
1. Imagine your professor has just given a hypo and asked a question about a case you’re discussing. As they glance around the room, not a single volunteer, they peer over the students, looking for the next cold call victim. Suddenly, a cell phone rings… and clear as a bell, vocals and all, the ringtone is “Wake Me up Before You Go Go”. Can you guess who is called? And then it rang again.
2. A seatmate in a class got up at our break to ask the professor a question. He left his composition book closed but in plain view. You know, the one’s with the black-and-white mottled covers? Only this one has a different label on it… instead of reading “Civ Pro” or “Torts” it says, “Name: Snoopy, Hobbies: Supertime!” with a picture of Snoopy, doing his Peanuts dance.
I want one of those composition books now! I sincerely hope I get to practice law with people like these two classmates. Too many lawyers (hell, people) are just too stuffy!
