1L Quotes: Part II

I love quotes. Perhaps if this law school thing doesn’t work out, I might publish a book of my favorite quotes with chapters like Spiritual, Famous, Personal, Funny, Friendship, Life, etc. But, until I find time to work on that project, I have included another installment of favorite quotes from the 1L year of law school. I hope that they are as humorous to you as they are to me.

I have much more to report on the blog but just don’t have the time to do it right now; but, before classes begin in August, I promise a complete update. Until then, enjoy a glimpse of the ironic statements that get glued inside my head:

"Toner. What is toner? And how might one procure it?" 1L K. Taylor. Such a sweet young girl who is a great friend, BUT she readily admits that she hasn’t had too many responsibilities in her short, privileged life.

Prof T: We don’t want you becoming experts in the law.
My response: Did I make a wrong turn; this is law school, right?

“I don’t mention Florida a lot, but I will in this setting” – Famous quote from very intelligent professor who once practiced in Florida . . . and subconsciously mentions Florida five to seven times per class period.

“We would hire her, but we'd have to put a sack over her head.” – Prof B referring to model who sued when facial surgery severed nerves in her face. He said this with a straight face, and I blew Coke threw my nose.

“Normally I don’t like to say ‘Okay – here’s what you ought to believe.’ But today, I have an agenda” – From this professor, this is the understatement of the year. He always has an agenda which is as apparent as an elephant in the room; and his “agenda” is always the same, i.e., to tell us what we ought to believe.

“This case was about one word. ‘Slut.’ … Now let’s go through the elements.” Prof B. I really have to quit drinking Coke in class; it burns after it’s blown through the nose more than once a day.

The student "most likely to succeed" in any law school is the brightest asshole. --Walt Bachman, J.D., Author of What Lawyers Are Afraid to Say About the Legal Profession. Good read sent to me this year by one of my favorite lawyers (and people).
