And regardless of what the prof says, you have to sign the pledge when you take the exam and although it's a little thing, lying on that pledge is the first step toward your eventual license-losing. If you'll lie about stupid crap like that, you'll lie about the big stuff (usually) because it signals a lack of respect for the profession and the expectation of honesty you're supposed to uphold. But I tend to adhere to lofty ideals.<BR/><BR/>JJ4Sonora, GO TO CLASS. Especially if this is your first year! Trust me, it will only hurt you if you don't and in your first semester, the stakes are even higher because if you don't get a C average, you throw away a semester's worth of tuition money and a whole lotta time.red.hot.mamma!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16009079438690150776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221823.post-1160449407019210252006-10-09T21:03:00.000-06:002006-10-09T21:03:00.000-06:00If in consideration for my attendance of class I w...If in consideration for my attendance of class I was awarded at least a nominal amount of a PASSING grade I would have no trouble attending class or jumping through any of the other hoops I am sent out to perform. However, I have found law school to be not the best of contracts. No doubt, it is very much a business relationship and meets the elements of a contract. Especially at STCL for a 1L. But here is where I have trouble, I am the offeror promising to pay, however, there is no promise of a return benefit. I assume that because I guess I have given consideration that I may not return due to grades, thus, there is enough consideration on my part for offer and acceptance.Regardless of any performance from them. Yea, I get performance--class, YIPEE!... and sometimes free pizza.<BR/><BR/>I have gained little from class (despite my spotless attendance record).Class is really just a break from studying.<BR/><BR/>Signed,<BR/>Acquiescent 1LJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13773611134979169802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221823.post-1160410041952755172006-10-09T10:07:00.000-06:002006-10-09T10:07:00.000-06:00Bruce hasing been listening to a blog called the l...Bruce hasing been listening to a blog called the life of a lawstudent, I was trying to explain consideration to him the other day. I don't think the word peppercorn makes sense to the nonlawstudent.... <BR/>Anyway what if the payment of tuition became part of the equation. Pay tuition get a grade... Could that be considered a contract - Although essentially I agree with your analysis, don't get me wrong. Contracts, how I miss my teacher yelling "Argue against yourself!!" at the top of his lungs, after someone answered a question in that class.Bellejarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00112915013299581053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221823.post-1160288708499662702006-10-08T00:25:00.000-06:002006-10-08T00:25:00.000-06:00wow.Is there anyway I can get you to take Kelso's ...wow.<BR/>Is there anyway I can get you to take Kelso's contract final for me?
