"The study of law is something new and unfamiliar to most of you, unlike any schooling you've ever been through before. We use the Socratic method here; I call on you, ask you a question, and you answer it. Why don't I just give you a lecture? Because through my questions you learn to teach yourselves.Through this

Paper Chase. Shit, I watched that right before my first day of my law classes, and it scarred me forever! I lost all fight in me to be a lawyer, and it kept at it all year.

Yung British teacher ko sa Civil Rights Law is only a tad bit lenient than Kingsfield. Isang beses he was asking the class about the facts of New York Times v. Sullivan, landmark case sa Amendment I. One of the guys at the back volunteered.

"Sir, the defendant appealed---"
"Wrong."

Scary pag nagpa-recit, but his British humour is the best. Hahaha :D
