Survived Torts… on to Contracts May 12, 2005

Posted by atharkhan in : Law School , trackback

Okay so I suvived Torts. It was brutal. 90 minutes, 5 Parties, every conceivable cause of action from Products Liability to Defamation but only 10 fingers to type it with. Days like this, I wish I could type a 100 WPM. I type somewhere around 50 I think but I know people who can go as fast as 120. Can you imagine? 120!! That would come in handy on a law exam. Anyway, enough about typing speed. I think that my analysis was fairly decent compared to last time. I think I am finally getting how to handle law exams. Being an Engineer had always helped me project utility bills for the next year, calculate the height of the Sears Tower, figure out how fast a car was going by. Where it really hurt me was being a law student. I am so used to being conclusive and arriving at the “only right answer” that it has taken some adjusting to. I am getting better now. Now, instead of “Yes” or “No,” I try and work my way to “Maybe” which is considered to be the best possible answer in an exam. That used to be very upsetting to me. Could you imagine watching a movie without an ending? Thats what Law School Exams are like.

Anyway, I am done with Torts so now its on to Contracts. I have reset the end point on my clock and now its T minus 4 days, 17 Hours and 44 Minutes….. and counting…
