Ani posted:When I was a 1L, we switched from grades to fake grades. The dean held a town hall some time in the first semester to explain and discuss the switch with the students. Someone said "you know, I came here because I watched The Paper Chase and I really wanted my law school experience to be like that, and now I feel cheated." I like you, Ani. I like a decent number of HLS people I have met. I have also met a lot of HLS people I really wanted to fire headlong into the sun.

Ahaha, that recent law graduate who asked Obama the question about the economy and got a canned response that didn't really apply to him/her? I was sitting with an acquaintance today at law school and talking about something else, and then somehow it came up that she's been getting mentioned in the news because people accused her of being a "plant" for Obama. She asked the question. And she apparently talked to six reporters today because so many news media are picking up this worthless, stupid story (she herself thinks it's really stupid that news sources are taking such an interest in it). http://digitallife.today.com/_news/2012/08/31/13594040-redditor-says-her-softball-question-for-obama-wasnt-a-plant?lite Also she's not a plant. Apparently news sources even contacted Northwestern to find out if she actually went there, and one of our law school's deans had to verify it.

Bold Robot posted:The gently caress? The higher ranked the lawschool the less poo poo you learn and the less grading you get. That way when they graduate a class hiring instutions are most reliant on the name of the instution they graduated from. My first summer internship was for the DA out here, and I worked with some t10 school kids who during lunch could go on an on about what justice scalia and ginsburg etc would think about certain issues, but I was the only one helping with prelims and opposing motions to suppress because none of them had taken crim pro.

insanityv2 posted:Ahahahaha I recognized the incident. That girl was gunnin' so hard at orientation, really you just had to laugh at her. Didn't someone else ask a question that was, like, "How can I build relationships with my professors," which was both gunnerish and vaguely autistic. "Please won't someone explain to me how to have human relationships"  .

Solid Lizzie posted:"Softball question"? I'll grant she didn't ask a complex foreign policy question, but the fact that the canned answer stuck out so much should suggest that it was at least a little more nuanced than the usual softball. Definitely, I agree. If she had really been a "plant", you'd think the canned answer would have matched up with her question. It was just a question about her life.

Baruch, do you feel like talking a bit more about the differences between Scalia's and Thomas's approaches to the law? All I know as a laywoman is that they tend to vote in synch, especially in dissents.
