I think one or two did the cusp thing, and one or two actually said the top handful of participators would get a tangible grade boost of one notch, not including the 5% participation grade for Legal Writing. I want to do well! But you don't seem to have to spend hours preparing if you want to participate well. You can answer questions that you know the answer to and not answer ones you don't.

I think the only graded midterm I have this semester is in Legal Writing (called CLR here).

Also Dire Wolf, I'm in Section 3. Respond to my PM, jerkass.

Respond to my FB request, assjerk! I was in Section 3 too, I hope you got Mulaney. Do work for Contracts outside of class, you'll need to to understand anything. The rest of the professors are great, though.

Four out of five of my professors this semester either give some kind of grade bump to the top participators, or have participation as a small percent of the grade (Legal Writing) so whether going to class is normally important or not, I have to go this semester.
My 3L year I was trying to get honors, and one of ny professors said there was a grade bump for attendance. I actually liked the class so I had literally perfect attendance.

I got a poo poo grade on the final, and when I went to ask him about that there grade bump for my attendance and why that didn't factor into the grade, I got a horseshit answer and 0 grade bump for my attendance. Law professors are liars, do not believe them.

Oh, so you're the guy with no profile picture and whose public profile doesn't mention your law school who friended me! I had to google the guy's name and his undergrad and "Northwestern Law" just now to see if that random spam dude was you.

Anyway I have Eigen for Contracts, the Andrew Sullivanish guy.

Edit: Also hypo, the professors say that the final exam is anonymous, but then they have the ability to fiddle with grades later.

How many students get onto LR at HLS, anyway? It's such a big school. At GULC, 40% of the students are on a journal of some kind.

Yeah, at Northwestern if you want to be on a journal you can be on a journal pretty much - 6 journals, each takes 30-35 each year, total class size 250ish.

Have I mentioned my enormous mancrush on Marc Randazza?

TSA agent sues for IIED after being accused of "rape" for molesting a passenger, demands $500k.

Randazza writes one of the best responses to a demand letter I have ever seen.

quote:

A TSA agent threatening to sue a citizen for IIED is one of the most ironic events I can imagine. Perhaps if you are looking for similarly situated clients, you could find surviving members of the Montgomery, Alabama police department to sue civil rights marchers for the stress that they forced them to endure when they got all uppity and made the police attack them with fire hoses.

quote:

Ms. Magee is the latest in a long and disturbing lineage of TSA agents who have gone too far in sexually assaulting and abusing citizens and punishing them for daring to assert their rights. But, humiliating and sexually violating Ms. Alkon were not enough for Ms. Magee. Your client now trains her sights on the First Amendment. This threat of frivolous litigation is so disgusting, so unsupportable, and so frivolous that we cannot help but mock it. While every client deserves representation, sometimes counsel’s job is to inform their client that they have no claim. That should have been your role in this matter.

My favorite part:

quote:


Your client also seems to have been persuaded that Ms. Alkon’s statements constitute “intentional infliction of emotional distress” (“IIED”). Any emotional harm suffered by Magee is a self-inflicted wound, and likely a broader consequence of working for the TSA. A TSA agent threatening to sue a citizen for IIED is one of the most ironic events I can imagine. Perhaps if you are looking for similarly situated clients, you could find surviving members of the Montgomery, Alabama police department to sue civil rights marchers for the stress that they forced them to endure when they got all uppity and made the police attack them with fire hoses. I am certain that Zacharias Moussaoui feels a bit hurt about how people talk about him. Finally, I bet you could sue Trey Parker and Matthew Stone, the creators of South Park, on behalf of Sadaam Hussein’s estate.
