Federal Courts class

Two observations:

1. Some students in that class are incredibly ballsy. Three guys who sit in one of the corners of the room never seem prepared for class (and in a class where you can guarantee to be called on about every other day or so, that's a big deal). When they do manage to have an answer to a question, it is clear that their knowledge of the case or the material we were to have read is cursory at best. Well, last class (because of their lack of preparation), the professor told them explicitly that he would be starting with them when we reconvened today. Today, the professor lectured through almost half of the class, giving the guys a thirty-minute reprieve from having to talk. When they were put on the hotseat though, to talk about a single case, again, they failed to have any in-depth analysis and one even admitted to the professor that he hadn't read the case.

When the professor singles you out and says that you haven't prepared, and tells you IN ADVANCE that you will be called on again next class, what on Earth would possess you not to even bother reading the case assigned for that day's class? Cajones of steel, my friends.

2. As much as I love professor 'Glassy' because he is willing to wear what has to be the most hideous tie in the world to school and to all of his classes, solely because his kids made and decorated it for him, I think I've found a replacement for 'Glassy.' The Fed. Courts professor is amazingly cool. He came to school today with his arms covered in reddish splotches. He explained to us that an 8-year old girl in his neighborhood was giving out 'henna' tattoos. Seriously. A law professor took time out of his day to sit with a little neighbor girl while she painted bracelets on his arms. Isn't that adorable?
