Law School Discussion

I agree with others that you need to get more info on what you are in for fighting this. You will need to be prepared. Ask the Dean where you can get a copy of the procedures explaining the process, what standard they will use in looking at the situation, and the part of the code they claim you violated.

Think about how the school will look at this from those standards.  Were it not you, would you believe what you are saying?  They will probably want to know: Why had you not already started the exam software when the exam started rather than waiting?  If you realized the error during the exam, why did you not alert anyone (e.g. a proctor) during or immediately after the exam?

Just get an outline from a previous student and go through it marking it up with your own notes.

Then practice exams. Focus on practice exams. 

If it's any consolation, there's a good chance I will fail Con Law.

I am very curious about your perspective.

1. What do you think happens when a judge makes up their mind, but no precedent supporting that position is available at the precedential buffet (in fact, a contrary rule is on the menu)?

2. What are judges using to make up their mind at the outset?

3. If there are ambiguities in the law, what should the judge be using to make up there mind?  (You're at the buffet and there is hot cereal and cold cereal with people arguing at you which you should pick. How do you decide what's for breakfast?  )
