How to Survive Your First Year of Law School: Contracts

1. READ YOUR HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS. The problem with this is that even though you do the reading, upon entering class you will still appear to be unorganized and uninformed. Whatever knowledge you thought you may have had will completely dessert you and you are left at the whim of a stern, little man with windswept hair and thick glasses. When you are absolutely forced to answer a question, most likely you will hear a negative WRONG that will resound in your ears for the duration of the period. Good luck.

2. DO NOT ASK: "CAN YOU REPEAT THAT?" This will only confirm your confusion and lack of intelligence to the professor...and he will see right through you and know that you a) have no idea as to what is going on in class, and b) that you have not done the reading.

3. DO NOT DRAW UNNECESSARY ATTENTION TO YOURSELF IN ANY WAY. This will only encourage ridicule and public humiliation. You are a 1st year law student who does not even deserve the right to a first name. This should help you to realize that anything you think is intelligent that you can add to class is most definitely NOT intelligent and consequently you will be called out for your lack of intelligence. Hopefully by now you have learned to laugh at your own misfortune.

4. DO NOT THINK YOU ARE SMARTER THAN YOUR PROFESSOR. You most definitely are not. And you will be told so. In class. In front of 50 of your peers who are attempting to compete with your intelligence.

More to come...
