I had done well 1st year. Very well indeed. I think I got straight A's, or darn close to it...except for Contracts. Now, if I was going to screw up anything in law school, it wasn't going to be contracts. Maybe it was going to be criminal law, about which I knew nothing, or civil procedure, what with it's Pennoyers and Shoes which no right-minded person can relate to. But it was none of that. It was Contracts. I believe I got a C. A C! No way. I knew contracts. I was down with all of it, terms, performance, acceptance, rejection, ad nauseum. So, after I get my grades, I go speak to Professor Lee. She was a nice lady, if not totally deranged and not fit to teach a shoe-tying class, let alone 1st year Ks. And that isn't defamatory, nor is it a statement of opinion. It's just truth. And she says, well, Jason, you just don't understand Contracts. What I found out later while having dinner with a senior member of the faculty was that Professor Lee didn't understand Contracts, so much so that she was in breach of her employment contract, and was fired. So I understand about mostly red. Because if there is ever a time that those who are sure of themselves are any more sure of themselves than when they are 1Ls at the top of their game, I don't care to see it.jluroshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14311048985868461480noreply@blogger.com
