Ok, so you may wonder what "lawyering" is and that is totally understandable. I often wonder what lawyering is and have even looked it up in about 5 different dictionaries, including a legal dictionary. The only thing I have discovered is that lawyering is not a word. Maybe they wanted it to mean the acts of being a lawyer?? I don't know but I think the class should be called hell instead. It is more fitting.
Tonight I am complaining about Lawyering because of its lack of BS work load. This semester we have already written a demand letter, researched out the ass on topics that there are no sources for and written a motion to defeat summary judgment in this make believe, BS case that we have been assigned. Additionally we have "mediated" a case between our client and the lawyer he is suing (and when i say mediated don't think it was cool, it was more like acting out a skit). And now, tonight i set here studying for our "quiz" aka Final exam (yes, in March) and doing BS bluebook assignments. I spent 4 hours blue booking (citing legal sources) on this stupid computer program that tells me i am wrong when my answer looks just like the write answer and now have about 12 hours of reading to do for tomorrows quiz (although chance are most of it will just get quickly skimmed).
To make things better, tomorrow we are assigned yet another long memo to write for some summary judgment issue for some make believe case. It is going to be a pain in my ass for the next month and then I am going to get all of this crap that i have written back and have to re-write it. Man, this class can just ruin my day, week and year in one fail swoop.
Anyways, i should stop complaining and get to reading.
