Last night I caught Bill Mahers new show on HBO. The name escapes me, but the format was very similar to PI. He actually refers to his show as PI2. While I was watching it I kept nodding my head in agreement, and thought, oh my goodness I’m a liberal!! A left-wing miscreant my parents will disown. Actually, I was amused because while I do agree with a few of the things he said, I’m not radical and I absolutely hate labels. I refuse to conform to them either.
\nAnd this was really a senseless post.
\nSomething interesting did happen today. Professor V. asked a few students to participate in a symposium for minority students considering attending law school. We were chosen to act as fake students in a fake law class session. I think the students were freaked out by the outcome. T. was in charge of reciting the facts of a hate crime case, and V practically reamed her when she started with an ‘um.’ Granted, it was a set-up, but none of us were sure what to expect other than the roles were assigned. For instance, two "students" were thrown out, and one was overly prepared. It made T react, and we just sat there trying not to laugh.
\nIt was interesting. Every law school has one of those old fashioned eccentric professors who glean pleasure from humiliating a student to the point of tears then throwing said student out of class in the most embarrassing manner. Then again, I think professors still enjoy humiliating their students, particularly the 1Ls. My class had two such professors, and strangely enough we learned the most from them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
