4 Down: Professional Responsibility
What would make this class easier: If there were no ethical standards guiding lawyers [insert lawyer jokes here]. Seriously though, it's surprising how easy it is for lawyers to get in trouble.
The exam: 4 questions, 5 pages. It was a 2 hour exam, and like usual 2 hours felt like about 30 minutes.
Worth: 100% of the final grade.
The exam wasn't that bad. The questions were about lawyers and clients behaving badly and we had to advise on what they should do using the Professional Conduct Handbook and the case law. More than most law school finals, there was a lot of opportunity to ramble on about abstract principles. So kind of like a history exam.
I took way too long on the first question (this happens to me often). The exam started at 9 and I finished question 1 (of 4 roughly equally weighted questions) at 9:50. Question 2 at 10:15. Question 3 at 10:45. Question 4 at 11. My answer for question 4 isn't going to net me a lot of points, but overall I should do okay.
Next exam: Administrative law tomorrow at 9am
Gut feeling: Thinking about the exam is, in itself, a gut feeling. A freshly-sucker-punched-in-the-gut feeling. But you know what? After this it's ALL OVER. So how bad can it be. Trainwreck? Pronbably. Just have to pass...
