Student 1: Do you think there are people who really believe those justifications about cheating, like, if it's in another state it doesn't count, or if it's in another country it doesn't count?
Student 2: Yep. It's the same reason people believe in God. Just to make themselves feel better.

Finals Delirium

1L#1: If it's a total integration, you have to figure out if it's collateral.

1L#3: Then you have to get Bright Eyes to turn around.

Yeah, That Helps

1L: How are we supposed to figure out if we should apply the doctrine or not on a multiple choice test? I mean, are we gonna say, “Well, it’s either A or B and I hope to god it’s B?” Or are we gonna be able to figure out what you’re expecting?

Prop Prof.: You should be able to figure out what I’m expecting. Let me put it this way: I would be able to figure out what I’m expecting by what’s on the exam.

More Fun With Undergrads

1L#1: You can actually take up to 6 hours outside the law school. Just tell [Dean of Students] there's a hole in your undergrad you want to fill.

Infamous 1L in Property: Yeah I mean it makes sense right? When the airport security makes your take off your shirt to prove your breasts aren't bombs right?

Property Professor: Oh Mr. 1L, I will certainly miss your questions.

Con Law Professor: There was a case recently filed where a father is challenging a court order to provide child support, because he did not want the child's mother to have the baby. Any thoughts on this?
