Great Moments in Academic History Part I

Here are choice moments of the past two weeks worth of classes:

Trusts and Estates - my thoughts:
- I'm not sure about the relevance of this class - who needs trusts and estates when you're immortal?
- Would it be inappropriate to look at the seating chart and start crossing people off?
- Erlanger: "We want probate"
All: "We want probate, yeah!!"

Legal Process –
Class session #1 - This is absolutely worthless
Class session #2 - We've just bypassed absolutely worthless and gone straight to fucking ludicrous.

Hegel’s Theory of the Modern State” p 21
“Democratic spirit….which makes it impossible for any tolerably good head to depend wholly and absolutely on one person.”
- Indeed.

Prosecution Functions:
Defender Project instructor: The prosecutor's not going to show you all of his cards. Sometimes he might show you one card.
What card will that be? King High

Student: "A lot of people rat out other people on a bunch of shit to save their ass."
Kempenin: "Elegantly stated."

Beautiful, I've been longing to cross people off the seating chart.
