Crim: Worst Subject Ever?

[no634]

I'm trying to outline provocation and grading down to manslaughter, and every minute feels like an eternity.  I'm really not sure why I hate Crim so much, but I do.  Maybe too much of the doctrine is intuitive, or the class discussions were a bit much (we had units that made everyone cringe), but I really really don't like Crim.

Anyway.  What would the MPC say about my feelings?  Objective or subjective standard?

MPC says objective.

Ah, so the reasonable person hates Crim, too?

I am going to jump on the "I will be doing 100% criminal defense work and I did not like my crim class" bandwagon.

Of course, we spent nearly four weeks on RICO. Not my thing.

RICO seems kind of high speed for basic crim law.

Yes.

At least for me, it's way too theoretical.

I remember learning more about how to be a lawyer in my criminal law class than any other class first year.

Agreed. Especially since we found the time for it by doing murder very quickly and rape in a day. Huzzah. My Con Law class is the same way. Great material, and we spend weeks on the Dormant Commerce Clause. Blargh.

[M_Cool]

Heh, we spent at least 2 weeks on dormant commerce clause and another 2 weeks on the commerce clause... Con Law feels like a survey from Poli Sci.  We spend weeks on dated legal theory before we actually get to the standard that currently applies.

Can you elaborate?

Also, thanks for the quote.

Np, buddy.

I just felt like I got a lot out of how our professor approached statutes and legal issues.  So it was more the prof than the subject, although I did find some of the issues very interesting.
