Richard and Adam are joined by Nora Parker, a second year Osgoode Student as they discuss "law school reductionism/exceptionalism". Is law school special? Are law students the "select few"?
We discuss Scott Turow's idea of "Meeting My Enemy" in the early days of first year. We talk about talking in class, tribalism, and alternatives to the current law school approach to grades. Nora tells us about her friend who has achieved law school nirvana and hasn't checked his grades at all.
Required Readings:
One L: The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School, Scott Turow. Chapter 1.
Questions?:
Call 681-443-7763 and leave a voicemail. Just call and tell us your grades.
