The Legal Brief: The Class of '91
Facts: In my, and numerous other students' opinion, the faulty
of law erred in awarding a 71% overall class average. OK, law school
exams are made to demoralize the strongest ego, but were you not a a
little bit shocked at the lack of recognition in your first year
transcript of your efforts?
Now a few of us did receive the recognition we deserved (see the awards
section for a good idea who), but most of us learned to digest grades we
would have seen as failures a few years earlier. A number of us were
just happy we passed, having already been humbled in January. Four
months seemed just right to revive a bruised ego.
Second year, a new slate of classes and it seemed a whole new group of
people to meet since we were no longer in "sections". The final glow
of summer faded quickly as we were thrown into yet another moot and the
sinking knowledge our grades this year counted if we wanted to have any
choice at all in where we would article.
For some reason the moot court experience actually seemed, dare I say,
enjoyable. Exams, however, did not improve in second year. Now
some of us got the hang of how to write a law exam, but for some reason
other of us still couldn't seem to get it right. Either way, no one
would call them enjoyable. Second year will be remembered as the
year that went by so quickly.
