"Discussing the readings without having read the readings" is what I did in theatre studies, to such an extend that one of my professors actually thought I was one of the most hard working students in his class. In reality I spent every seminar with half an hour of avoiding eye contact while other students answered questions, so I could get a grasp of what the seminar was even about. After that, I started asking very specific questions to fill in the blanks, which made it seem like I had read the whole text and was being critical about it xD

"Those bastards!"

I’m an anthropology major and for one of my classes it was a required class where we were going to talk about Bigfoot, UFO’s and conspiracy theories, but instead we read these really long court cases. I don’t know why, but that’s literally all we did. The description of the class even said that we would talk about Bigfoot.

If you create a Magic 8 ball that only says “It depends,” I’d buy one from you for my dad who’s a lawyer

Sometimes while I’m watching Alex Cabot and Casey Novak on Law and Order, I think about how awesome it’d be to be a prosecutor wearing a power suit. Then I remember I don’t actually want to go through the hell of law school.

As programmer in training I’m a bit surprised at how similar the responses are when people say “Can I ask you about this?” And I say “It depends on lots of details”…

Can we get longer version of this " Toss a coin to your lawyer..."?

On the meme about med school vs law school: 1) Many med schools do give you a white lab coat on your first day & have a whole ceremony about it that is somewhat congratulatory. 2) My wife, when a med student said that if you ask a normal grad student to memorize the phone book he says "why?" but if you ask a med student to memorize the phone book he says "by when?" so there's that.

I just don’t get why American law school is set up the way it is. Aussie law school will at least teach you enough to get you started. That includes how to research, how to write, how to form arguments, how to cite cases properly, etc. Also, we have assignments as well as exams, and our lectures are recorded so we can watch or rewatch at our convenience. No need to rely on a fellow student and hope they take decent notes. It’s just a much better system.

My dad said the big point his first day of medical school was "Half of what we will teach you is wrong, only if we knew which half" for my masters of engineering it was "Imposter syndrome is very real, but we won't fully say if yours is valid or not"

I have once been told a joke by a law-student (in Austria, though, from what I gather studying law here is quite different. And cheaper): A med student and a law student are told that they are part of a test and that they both have to learn a phone book by heart. The med student immediately starts to complain and argue about the senselessness of the exercise. The law student asks: What's the deadline?

true, clerks/staff can really stand in the way of getting things done smoothly.

Here in my country people have to work for a year in a legal aid clinic and most law students work as paralegals during law school, to avoid the " I don't know sh*t about f*ck phenomenon". As a physician with five years of clinical experience *before* graduation, I agree with this approach.

I feel like if the tips to doing well in law school are “don’t do everything your professors assign you,” then maybe the professors should be rethinking how much work they actually hand out. Like you wouldn’t need the shortcut if you never had to go on the highway in the first place.

10:55 Lawyers are excellent at DnD... Wait, you were talking real stuff ?!

I covered a first-degree murder trial once where it was clear the defendant committed the crime. The defense knew they had no defense so the best they could do was argue that it was second-degree murder and not first-degree. In opening arguments, the defense attorney literally said something to the effect of, "Find my client guilty, but don't find him guilty of first-degree murder." I actually had to listen to my audio recording multiple times to make sure I heard that correctly.
