sometimes funny haha. sometimes funny strange.
here are four personality briefs to give you a small glimpse into the humor and quirks of my professors of law. you guess which type of funny applies to each:
debora threedy (contracts)- "people" reader by day, thespian/playwright by night, laugh like a foghorn at all times.
lincoln davies (civil procedure)- our first assignment was to read:
official rules of the national basketball association 2006-2007
rules no. 2.VI, 12.a.V to .VII and comments to the rules I, II.b, II.f, and II.k
in case you didn't know, these rules deal with fouling: technical, flagrant, and what you have to do if you commit such a heinous act. we needed to have this background knowledge so we could come to a ruling on this:
were the fouls called on amare "STAT" stoudemire and boris "3D" diaw after robert horry so unceremoniously hip-checked the adorable hero steve nash fair or unfair?
(the action really starts to happen around 00:53.)
alexander skibine (torts)- french. ex-semi-pro-futboller. wears turquoise belt-buckles. wouldn't mind if he woke up from surgery with a tiny rose tattoo anywhere on his body. anywhere. anywhere at all.
david hill (legal writing)- last week we had a mock client interview in class. two brave souls volunteered to be the interviewing attorneys and professor hill volunteered to be the client, a rich, spoiled, bad-attituded 18-year-old named kris hamilton.
walking into class with my friend bekah, we ran into hill dressed in jeans and a hoodie. bekah says, "dressing for the part."
hill answers, "actually...this is just how i dress."
a beautiful awkward silence ensued.
he also compares legal writing to making sausage.
it is a good thing that these people are varied and interesting because they are forcing my brain to do things it has never done nor wanted to do before and i should hate them for it, but i don't. not quite.
