Overheard at Law School

By: Omar Ha-Redeye · January 1, 2008 · Filed Under Humour, Law School · Add Comment 

At the University of Western Ontario, we have a popular blog called Overheard at Western. Since many of us law students rarely leave the law building, it’s a great way to get the highlight reel of the humourous or disturbing types of commentary that occur in other areas of “higher learning.”

But now we discover in a slightly humbling manner that there is an Overheard at Law School as well. We anticipate a significant increase in Canadian content, especially as we revisit more over-caffeinated, sleep-deprieved, over-worked days and nights.

Some highlights:

Noticed on a blackboard following a property review:

Standard
Jurisprude

Northwestern University College of Law and Microbrewery

Overheard at an expansive Liquor Store in Chicago:

Female #1: Do you work here?
Employee: Yes
Female #2: We hate you.
Female #1: Kidding!
Employee: How can I help you?
Female #1: We are looking to buy beer, but we don’t know what to get
Female #2: We don’t want Frat Party beer
Female #1: And we don’t want something that screams ‘Snob!’
Employee: You want Law Student Beer.
Female #1 and #2: YES!

Another great reason to spend $50K

Torts Prof: “I didn’t take notes in law school. Though in some classes, I got so bored, that I figured that law school would provide me with the perfect opportunity to learn how to write with my left hand. So I did take some notes, but they were technically penmanship practice.”
