Three weeks into the summer session, I finally feel like I have time to write a word about the classes I'm taking. Criminal Pretrial Procedure is mostly about the Fourth Amendment: searches, warrants and exclusion of evidence. It's fascinating stuff, not least because it's taught by a veteran judge who really knows the material. He also shouts, runs around the room and does funny voices. I guess he's had experience teaching two-and-a-half hour night classes.
Just ten minutes after Crim Pro ends, Legal Profession begins. The contrast is stark. It seems like ethics should be interesting - there's material in the textbook about the Enron scandal and even criminal attorneys hiding corpses - but the professor just stands at the podium and grinds through her Power Point slides for ninety minutes. The class ends at 9:35 PM. We should be allowed to attend in our pajamas.
