Professor P describes the exam:
Jack: “What makes a good exam answer? Like what are you looking for?”
Professor P: “Well, one of the questions is going to ask for a piece of you. You have to be original and creative…”
Jill: “A piece of me? Can I just attach a hair or something?”
Professor P: “Uh, I was thinking of an intellectual piece.”
Professor C: “My guess is, after you read the sample answers for the midterm exam almost every one of you will think you did really crappy.”
Professor T: “And who decides this?”
Student: “Well, I want to say the jury but I presume you’re going to tell me it’s a judge…”
Professor T: “I would never presume to tell you anything. I’ll just ask you three times until you tell me it’s a judge.”
Professor T: “As much as you want to prepare your witness, you know that on cross examination opposing counsel is going to have considerable latitude to push them off a cliff.”
Professor T: “And in the process of rehearsing them you record them, so you can play it back to them and show them how shift-eyed they are…”
Professor T: “…and one of his clients was a doctor who was ripped off, but he was the most arrogant, unpleasant… like you have to cut your wrists before you give him any money.”
Professor T: “Does anyone have any problems with manipulating juries? (silence from the class) Great! Because otherwise you’re in the wrong place!”
