Blog Outs Five Monsters Lurking in Law Schools
In honor of Halloween, the blog Bitter Lawyer is revealing “the spooky truth about real law school monsters.”
The blog designates five types of law school monsters, and says only one—the werewolf—is worth knowing.
“By day, he’s your average law student—overstressed and overworked,” Bitter Lawyer says. “But at night it’s a different story. More beast than man, the werewolf is one monster worth knowing, because he knows how to blow off steam. While everyone else is crammed into the library, the werewolf is bending the ear of a local bartender or organizing a midnight rally to an area casino.”
Other monsters are:
1) The ghost, who disappears from class after the first week. At finals time, though, he may “float in,” possibly get the best grade in the class, and then vanish.
2) The escaped mental patient with a decent LSAT score who hides books, spreads rumors about class cancellations and downs a lot of Diet Cokes and NoDoz at finals time.
3) The zombie, whose brain exists “only to determine the ownership of Blackacre or the liability of A to B.”
4) The vampire, who always wants to mooch your notes.
