Unspokenone25,
Girl, you must be extremely stressed b/c every post has some sort of profane word bleeped out. Relax. Don't let these folk get you all into a whirlwind of frustration.
Yes, professors can be crazy. But I say take it in stride. At least you are one of the last of the lawstudents who can say that you experienced the Socratic method b/c it *is* going away. It was rough on me but I appreciate the novelty of having had the experience now. It is one thing that has made lawschool fairly unique traditionally. Ha! He wanting dissenting and concurring opinions too? Well girl, that just makes your ability to synthesize a case and summarize it in one sentence (which may serve you when you start working if you're doing lit especially) that much more on point. In what area(s) of law do your interests lie? Don't feel pressed to choose btwn xsac and lit. B/c you are right that you don't really know. Try to do both at your firm this summer so that you will be able to say what you'd like to do full-time. Many firms let you do both and encourage it until you are about a third year associate. It depends on your practice area and whether the firm offers both sides of the practice.

Summer Child: You would think that professors would be past doing the Socratic method to 2Ls but no such thing...my Trust and Wills professor expected us to know the case (facts, black letter law, even dissenting and concurring opinions) and wanted us to STAND UP!!! And do you believe that this b***ard didn't even care about the cases when he gave us the exam?!
