Today I had to wake up before noon (booo) to go to a little orientation meeting for this semester’s externship. During the tour we stepped into a courtroom just long enough to hear a defendant say, “I’ve seen enough reality TV to know the officer should’ve done more investigation.” I am not shitting you. The prosecutor had to turn around in her chair so the Judge wouldn’t see her about to die laughing.
Anyway, all this just means that the last semester is just around the corner — I’ve been told classes start on Thursday. Here’s what I’m taking:
- Trial Tactics — Friday afternoons (first six weeks only). This is being taught by some super-litigator alumnus from LA. I think it’ll be pretty awesome.
- Civil Rights Statutes — (Tues-Wed 11am-Noon) Hopefully I’ll learn something besides how wonderful the world would be if it weren’t for middle-class white males.
- Copyright — (Mon-Wed afternoons) Since I’ve taken so many classes that have covered Copyright, I figure I might as well take the full class, so as to learn as little as humanly possible this semester.
At the moment I’m in Crim Pro instead of Copyright, but that’s a morning class, so I’m hoping to switch it around. If it all works out, I will take my only final exam on April 22nd, at which point I will have roughly two weeks of screwing around (and trying to distract other people from their finals) before graduation.
As you can see, this is a very, very stressful schedule — I hate being a 3rd year.
