Nobody: Prof. Crim Pro, I would like to talk to you about my grade last semester.
Prof. Crim Pro: Go for it, Nobody. Let's talk.
Nobody: Well, I got a B and...
Prof. Crim Pro: Ha! Really?!
Nobody: Yes, and....well. I was hoping that I could go over my final with you. I really want to bring my GPA this semester, and I want to know what I could have done better on that test, so that I can break out of my rut.
Prof. Crim Pro: Wow. I thought you would have done better, too. You seemed very clever in class....Yes. Well, let's see this thing....
Nobody: ....
Prof. Crim Pro: I mean. There's nothing wrong with it, per se. It's just, well...you lack that certain sparkle of brilliance that A students have. Know what I mean?

Holy crap! What an asshat thing to say. And completely useless.
As someone who also lacked that certain sparkle of brilliance in crim pro last semester, I would like to lend to law schools everywhere the words of the ever-wise Carrie Fisher: Blow my big bovine tiny dancer cock!
aaaand exactly why I don't/never did bother trying in class. It's just not worth it. "certain sparkle"? I hope you told him to kiss your ass.
Law school is dumb.
Is that certain sparkle the desire to be a gunner?
ahhhhhh! Iremember going over my Torts exam with the prof and him telling me that he doesnt know why he gave me such a low grade...talk about frustrating!
Ugh... I *HATE* the "I would've thought you'd done better too." EFF that.
Ouch.
If it makes you feel any better, I talked to my Contracts professor about my exam 1L year, and the reaction was "You seemed like you were following the material quite well in class. Your exam... well, the answers are wrong."
That was about the time when I decided I was better off focusing my energies someplace other than school.
I agree with Eliza. Asshat.
I agree with Eliza. Asshat.
That certain "sparkle"...cripes. Maybe next time sprinkle glitter all over your exams?? :)
Wow - certain sparkle? that's awful. what the hell is it anyway?
It's nice to know that as I make my way through my newly-begun quest to get into/succeed (or not fail) in/graduate from law school, little will have changed from undergrad (at Wharton, where MBA egos get stuffed into Undergrad bodies, and the natives are just smart/rich enough to get away with it). I think I've met the -1L Pre-Gunners of tomorrow. They're in my class. All of them.
