a dark comedy

Because of the behavior of a few students, this year’s Barrister’s Ball regrettably included conduct completely unacceptable both within the Law School community and in our profession. For all of you who attended the Ball but did not become publicly drunk, destroy hotel property, or fight, I share your dismay. Such behavior unfortunately has an impact on all of you: it diminishes the reputation of our Law School in the eyes of the local community, the legal community, and potential employers. It also calls into question whether those involved possess the character necessary to practice law.

The matter is now in the hands of our Honor Council. I regret the impact of this behavior on our Law School and on all of you who were not involved.

i think this is pretty hilarious. i'm not sure if honor council hearings are open to the public, but if so, i might bring a big bag of popcorn and a soda and settle in for a nice time.

also, i'm pretty sure the dean is putting the cart before the horse. who gives a shit what the school looks like in the eyes of the local community, the legal community, and potential employers when the majority of the student body hates and resents it? shit, i dont like the school or the local community. it's like what the ever-wise stanley once said: we dont have to like each other, we just have to work together.

well, only for 177 more days...not that i'm counting.
