DC Tom Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Just when you think modern liberalism could not be anymore pathetic and full of sh......ok, who are we kidding. Everyone knows there's no bottom that well! I'm going to try that. "Yeah, boss, about that deadline...my faith in government is shaken by the Brown non-indictment, can I have a couple extra weeks for my deliverable." Then at my next job..."Sorry your fries are late...it's because of the Brown non-indictment." How these people expect to live in the real world after school is beyond me...

LeviF Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) How these people expect to live in the real world after school is beyond me... Thing is, Columbia is one of the top 5 law schools in the nation. A lot of them will be making six figures a week after they graduate and already have those jobs lined up for them. Those who graduate without any Biglaw job lined up are !@#$ed. haha Edited December 9, 2014 by LeviF91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Social Injustice Ate My Homework :Harvard law students have been taught to think like spoiled children. By Charles C W Cooke If there were a First Rule of our present penchant for victimhood, it would presumably be that everything unpleasant that happens in the world must, in some way, eventually be about you. Today, the National Law Journal reports that: The push to delay law school final examinations in light of the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases has spread to Harvard Law School, as administrators at Georgetown University Law Center said students could seek delays on a case-by-case basis. Columbia Law School was the first to allow students to ask to postpone their exams. Those Harvard students have produced an open letter, in which they demand that their examinations be delayed. “Like many across the country,” its authors claim, students “are traumatized” and “visibly distressed” — to the extent that there is now a “palpable anguish looming over campus.” The “national crisis” that has been provoked by the cases of Garner and Brown, they argue, has left them with no choice but to “stand for justice rather than sit and prepare for exams.” And, like their brethren at Columbia, they contend that their “being asked to prepare for and take our exams in this moment” amounts to their “being asked to perform incredible acts of disassociation” — requests, which taken together, have led them “to question our place in this school community and the legal community at large.” The bottom line? That students must be given “the opportunity to reschedule their exams in good faith and at their own discretion.” More at the link: , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koko78 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) What are these idiots going to do when they actually have to practice law? "Oh, i'm sorry, Mr. Client, that you have to spend a few more months in jail before I can proceed with your case. I'm just too traumatized by an incident with which I have no connection to represent you at the moment." -or- "I'm sorry that I just !@#$ed up a lawsuit that cost your company $25 million, I was just too traumatized by a cop not being indicted in a case I barely am aware of to do my job. You should respect my pain and not fire my firm." Edited December 10, 2014 by Koko78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in my second year of law school in 1992 when there was a rather controversial verdict in LA regarding police abuse (white against black). There were riots. We used it as a discussion tool in class rather than a crutch. I am scared for our future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
