My Ethics Class is Bulls***, Conclusion

Remember the horrid ethics class? If not, you can look here and here and here. I just discovered (thanks to the wonder of public information) that the awful professor makes $174K per year. He's one of the highest paid professors at the law school. How? Why? Just like in corporate America, compensation in the higher education system does not reflect actual ability to perform one's job. Now I feel more ripped off than ever that I had to take that class from PW.

My Ethics Class is Bulls***, Part III

Today's topic: What makes good people do bad things. Is this really what I came to law school to learn? Really? Because I thought I came here to learn law, not psychology. If I wanted to study Zimbardo and his Stanford Prison Experiment, I would have studied psychology. Oh wait, I already did. But today, I get to study psychology. In law school. By reading blogs, because that is where the professor gets a majority of our readings. Psychology from the blogs. Now that's what I call not-a-waste-of-time-at-all-not-even-a-little-bit.

My Ethics Class is Bulls***, Part II

If you've been following along, you may know that my Ethics/Professional Responsibility class is utter nonsense. If not, I promise you, it is. Today's reason: the reading for today's class taught me the following gems:

• It is bad to get into fistfights with other lawyers
• You should not complain to appellate judges that the trial judge is a moron/incompetent/an asshole
  
• When one lawyer asks for discovery, you should not hide the materials he wants (in other words, you should obey the law, which compels you to hand over such materials)

Really? Boy, I'm sure learning in this class...

Also, I am taking the Ethics portion of the bar exam on Saturday. My professors (there are TWO) have not made one mention of this test. Which I am taking on Saturday. And which, I'm pretty sure, does not ask "It is ok to punch other lawyers. True or False?"
