Almost 20 year lawyer here not sure if I have this right, but isn’t black letter law a subset of common law? You can’t have black letter law based on something else besides case law.

There’s no mention in lol school of more than like 5 amendments. Let’s see: 1, 4, 5, 6, 10, 14. Nobody even talks about 2nd.

i only know 1, 2, 3, 4, i think. 14 im guessing is equal rights. then like the 19th is womens suffrage but im only guessing that based off of xo. no idea what the 6th is. 10 is everything else goes to the states i think.

Most of these amendments like 19 comes up in an American history class. Can’t recall One mention of 19 in law school.

yeah we had to memorize them and stuff in elementary school or whatever but its all "tears in rain" now. saddest part is that before i looked i was actually gonna say the fourth was billetting but obviously its search and seizure. and honestly i only know that from the dirty harry scene not law school. sitting there for months slogging through basic nonsense a 10yo could easily learn really isnt the best format for higher ed i guess.

I took evidence from him, too, and I can't remember which class these assigned readings were in: "Impulse Control in Pigeons," by B.F. Skinner, and "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance," by Robert Pirsig.

I don't remember why I had Tribe. Probably some scheduling thing. Tribe and Robert Pirsig must have had a relationship of some kind. Tribe mentioned him often.

yes, let's not ignore the possibility that a school giving numerical GPAs might have a 3.9 1L curve.
