Stumpside Chats #16

Law School [Aug 21, 2024]

As I mentioned in a previous note, this Stumpside was delayed due to yet another internet outage. Thankfully this one was only for 2 days rather than 2 months, but it still messed up my schedule pretty bad and made it unrealistic to post any last week.

This is mostly because I am attending law school no and also working full time. Law school also started for me last week, and was going to be the topic of that week’s Stumpside. So instead I will write about it now.

So far it’s alright. It’s pretty libtarded, probably moreso than undergrad. I would imagine this is because all of the professors are practicing attorneys or judges who are obviously very involved in local politics in this liberal area. The District Attorney and Chief Public Defender, for example, are both professors at the school (obviously in crimes) and so their partisanship can be pretty obvious. For example: the DA made a public announcement that he would not prosecute people getting or preforming abortions after Roe v. Wade was overturned.

So far, though, they have done a decent job of keeping their politics out of the classroom. Granted, I have only been to class a few times so perhaps this is hasty.

Aside from that, there was one professor who might just be a retarded oldhead. We were in Torts class discussing a case which lead to the overturning of the lex loci delicti (Latin for “law of the place where the delict [tort] was committed) standard in favor of the “Most Significant Relationship Rule” (pretty self explanatory; whichever state has more interest in trying the case has their law applied). I was one of three people with the same question: “Do we need to be Bar certified in the state in which the case is being tried, or do we need to be Bar certified in the state whose law is being applied (if they are not the same), or do we perhaps need to be Bar certified in both?”

The first guy who asked did not get a sufficient answer. The professor looked at him like he was a retard and said “Uh you have to be Bar certified to practice the law” and I can only assume that professor retard thought the student was asking if we need to be Bar certified to practice law. Obviously we all know we have to pass the Bar to practice law. Whatever.

Since I was also going to ask the question, I tried to rephrase the question. Professor retard said the same thing, getting more frustrated this time. I rephrased again to ask the same question. Again, professor retard did not get it and got even more frustrated.

A third student asked yet again after I had given up. Once again professor retard did not get it. After this nobody bothered to ask.

I turned to the people beside me and asked if they understood what I was asking, and they said yes, and that they understood the question when it was asked by the first student. I don’t really know what to make of this other than old people are kind of retarded.

I still don’t know the answer. I think I will ask my uncle when I see him next and see what he says.

The other students are a pretty wide sampling of the population. There are some who are fresh out of undergrad like me, others who have been out of undergrad for 10 years or so, and still others who are in their 50s (or older). There is a pretty decent variety of political opinions I think. Some people are more local and represent local libtard interests, while others are from the more rural surrounding area and are more conservative.

There is also one guy who is pretty 🤓 and it was kind of funny hearing the other students talk about him.

Also one of my professors is a black chick who talks like Chandala Haradrim if she had more charisma. You would know what I mean if you heard her.

On a completely different note, I made a new section in The Knox Papers specifically for all my Stumpside Chats.
