Can I get your undergrad friend's number?

Prof: Well, all my friends have said that if you want to be in law school and then accepted by the bar... don't EVER have more than an ounce of marijuana on you. I mean, having a quarter bag and giving it out to your friends is something you do in undergrad...

Prof (after failing to get two students to answer a question): Mr. 2L, what do you think?

This is where Black's comes in handy

1L: "So we were doing this case where the prosecutrix got in to trouble and the prof asked what we thought of it. Well, I said I did agree with the punishment. He looked shocked and asked why, so I said that she's a prostitute dominatrix, so what did she expect. He then gave us a lesson on the meaning of prosecutrix."

step away from the knickknacks

Prof: Martha Stewart gets a little bit scary. I think that once you have more than one can of gold spray paint in the cabinet, it's time to reconsider. If your fingers start to itch when you see pinecones, it's time to have an intervention.

Honey, I'm Going to Sears to pick up an IUD...

Evidence Prof: No man can answer this question, what word would you use to describe the placement of an IUD device in a womans body? Insert?
Female 2L: Implanted
Evidence Prof: Implanted, okay. I had one student who was talking about when the IUD was "installed" and another one said that the IUD was "deployed". Do you think it was a man or a woman who wrote these? Installed, i gotta go down to Sears and get this IUD installed...

ATTENTION

Blogger made me switch to a new, google compatible interface. So if you are a poster and cannot see yourself on the poster list please e-mail me. Thank you. Also, I am taking volunteers for new posters to replace all the 3L's who graduate.

Thanks,

Yes, blame the trailer.

Discussing a case regarding a 6-year-old child who was sexually perped on twice in a trailer park by adult men while a friend of the child's mother watched.

Evidence Prof: "You know, if this case teaches me one thing it is to not raise my kids in a trailer park. That seems like that may be a bad place to raise children."
