Confessions of a Litigious Mind

The random, irrelevant musings of a law school graduate.

i be an consumer

i already knew that my law school really just wanted my money. on many occasions it has made it abundantly clear that it couldn't give a fuck about the students. and believe you me, i dont give a fuck about my law school. it will never see one post graduate dime from me. but something kind of funny has been happening lately: professors have been sending out emails "inviting" us to take their classes. in other words, they're marketing.

i find this highly humorous as it was the faculty/administration who decided to eliminate the vast majority of our requirements effective next year. but now they're sending out emails telling us why their classes are important. it seems to me, if some classes were so important, you'd want them to be required. but what do i know.

so, since there are hardly any requirements now basically my degree only says that i'm competent, and nothing more. but now evidently skills a, b, and c are so important that i should take classes x, y, and z. i wasn't here at the end of last year, so i dont know if this is an annual occurrence. i dont remember it happening at my old law school. and truthfully, if i had my way, i wouldn't be around here to find out next year. but since i need so many credits from one school to graduate, i'm fucked.

next year is a formality. just give me my piece of paper, and send me on my way, wandering aimlessly, stumbling face first into the real world.

thanks a lot.

heh. you know, my *favorite* person/administrator is actually teaching a class. given the amount of pissing-off he's done to students lately, i can't imagine he'd get many people to sign up.
