Some say ambulance chaser, I say crusader for the little guy

A practicing adjunct professor and civil rights attorney on how to make it rich:

"I used to do a lot of housing cases because they were easy. You send in a tester and bam! You win a lot of money. Easy Money!"

Expert Toker?

Evidence Text Book Note: See United States v. Johnson, 575 F.2d 1347, 1360 (5th Cir.1978) (An experienced user, who "had smoked marijuana over a thousand times," was permitted to testify that a certain marijuana came from Columbia. "He based his identification upon the plant's appearance, it's leaf buds, stems, and other physical characteristsics, as well as upon the smell and the effect of smoking it.")

I feel used

Exerpted from a 1L's notes:

1L: "Prof. L– not too bad for a prof... actually kind of hot... but soooo married!"
1L, in a follow-up on the previous note during the next class: "Prof laski from Saved By The Bell The College yrs?"

Conservative Con Law Prof?

CCLP: "Liberals wake up in the morning and try to figure out how to make the world better... conservatives wake up and say 'thank god i wasnt stabbed overnight... everything's okay.'"

CCLP, Introducing class to his judicial philosophy: "I am more Borkian....than Bork."

CCLP: “The one thing you gain in law school that is useful to being a lawyer is a higher tolerance for personal embarassment…I mean, you have to be able to stand up in a courtroom and say ‘OJ is innocent.’”

CCLP: “Government is dangerous; that’s why we should have as little of it as possible.”

CCLP, Discussing McCulloch: “My tax is unconstitutional? Your whole goddamn bank is unconstitutional, and so is your mother!”

CCLP: “That’s as commercy as commerce gets!”

But I imagine Blackacre with a rich baritone.

Prof: "Properties don't really talk to eachother. You know that, right?"

Well, it concerns me

Prof: "Property doesn't drink beer, people do. If my neighbor brings over beer for the express purpose of pouring it on the ground, maybe we could say it meets the touch and concern requirement."

Out of the goodness of my heart, I am asking for three (3) new permanent posters who promise to eavesdrop to the best of their abilities.

I will only let you be a permanent poster if:

• You promise to post twice a week.
  
• The posts must be remotely amusing.
• You keep a "you have to be there to understand" to a minimum.
• You have either sent me a quote already (link me to when it was posted) OR send me a new one.
• You introduce yourself to me in the e-mail. Name, year in school, school. I won't lie, I'm looking for 1Ls and 2Ls because 3Ls don't give a shit anymore. I don't blame them. In fact, I envy them. As with law school in general, I will choose you based on the school you go to. I am looking for some ivy leaguers to give this blog some cred. Just kidding, because I already have two. BOO-YAH. I'm looking for people from different schools than those represented already. For the number of you from Indiana who e-mail me, there's got to be one of you who wants permanent posting privileges.

If I get more than 3 people requesting posting privileges, I will post your quotes and we will judge you via comments.

Out of the badness of my heart, if you have permanent posting privileges already and have not posted in the past month, you may be dropped (with notice). If you don't want posting privileges anymore, let me know. I want more posts and I want them now.

Your admin,
LiserDoesLaw

The truth comes out

Crim Pro II Professor referring to his own lecture:This lecture really blows. And I don't mean that in a sexual way.

The best kind of friends

1L: well, they were “friends”

Civ Pro Prof: Friends with benefits! That’s a relatively new term for me. We didn’t have that when I was your age. I mean, we had it, we just didn’t call it that.

Tell me about it

Straight 1L guy: It's wierd enough waking up next to a dude, not to mention it being a different guy than you thought you were sleeping with.

Pre-Roberts and Alito days

2L (discussing Justice Scalia's opinions): Scalia flames other people! He even flames other justices! I bet he doesn't eat lunch with the other Justices.

2L #2: Nah, he's the bully that's stealing Justice Souter's lunch money.

Property Grab Bag

Property Prof.: You have a 50/50 chance on this one...it's either yes or no.
1L: I'm gonna go with yes.

Property prof: Why do I have to do this?

1L: Because you get paid.

Property prof: All right, I get paid. But that isn't why I do this...I do this because I love you.

oh, the shame

Westlaw Student Rep #1: I'm so disappointed with myself! I missed a trivia question.

Westlaw Student Rep #2: It's okay, I missed two, but I feel really bad about it.

I am the king!

Prof: Why is this case the most important ever to be decided by the Supreme Court? Go to 552, footnote 23. Read all the way to the end. There I am! I'm finally cited in the majority opinion. No longer in the dissent. I was so tired of being nothing but a sex object!

Weekend Plan

2L Guy: My weekend is going to be crazy..

2L Girl: Mine is too, papers to write, men to fuck, etc.

student #2: She's more of a raging retard.

At least he admits it

An International Law Prof. on arguing with the State Department:

"I get to claim certain rights as a law professor, but that doesn't mean I'm connected to reality."

I didn't mean it...

after an unflattering portrait of a Posner opinion...

Civ Pro Prof: "Judge Posner is one of the most influential judges in the country. If you guys have blogs, please don't post that I insulted him.."

We're not that bad at numbers, lady

Writing Prof, explaining how to define a date in a contract: "September 30, 1940 defined as June 30, 1940. This is absolutely retarded, don’t do it."

This about sums it up...

Law Student: The exam is on Sunday at 9am.

Business Student: The exam is on Sunday? What the fuck is wrong with you people?
