Law School Is So Freaking Weird

law school was hilarious to me well I I went to law school and like I knew nothing about it I didn't know what's so what how the classes work there's a specific method they used in law school it's called the Socratic method it's much more discussion oriented than a lot of like higher level education stuff where it's just a lecture you sit there you listen you take notes in law school everyone is expected to participate in a conversation so you're expected to have read whatever material usually read you know a handful of cases and have some analysis and some something ready to add to the conversation and uh I was completely unfamiliar with that and I showed up on the first day of law school they were just like uh orientation starts at uh like 9 A.M wear a suit and a tie wear your nice suit come to this room or for first year orientation and I got there and I was like okay okay cool we're lawyers everyone's in suits and stuff and it's like ah cool yeah all right this is where and immediately they were like all right so here's all your homework have these cases and stuff uh read and brief them and be ready to have discussion on you know tomorrow Classes start or whatever so read this you should have already read this but here's your homework just okay and I was like what's a brief what's a hey how do I analyze the case what they just started saying [ __ ] you're supposed to extract things like a holding from the case which is you know the just the actual decision of the judge the issue of the case which is where you distill down the core legal thing that's in dispute in the case all this stuff and so we do we sat through that and I was kind of like I'll figure out how to do that that's a that's a later issue and then the next part of orientation they took us to a church where they were going to have some speeches but before the speeches started we were all sitting a bunch of 1l's in suits sitting in this church a woman in full costume comes out of the side of like the stage front area of the church and just start singing um it's a song from the Disney movie uh uh Hunchback of Notre Dame called God help God save the outcast or God help the outcast or something this woman just comes in she's holding a rose she's in like a costume and she just starts going Outcast and I think I'm having a favorite dream or some [ __ ] like I'm sitting here in my suit and Ty's just like I forgot that church was a mandatory requirement of law school well I was a pretty conservative private law school that I went to uh I didn't uh but yeah no but she just comes and she's singing and I'm sitting there like oh my god I've lost my [ __ ] mind what is happening and then I apply to a joke law school oh no no that was the weirdest [ __ ] that was orientation she sings the whole song Nobody introduced her there was she just did it and she finished she like walked through the aisles of the of the pews and through the audience and we're just like collect money okay yeah no cool she's singing in the audience this is cool when they do it in musical theater so this must be the first thing you need I guess and then like did that finish the dean gave a speech and he was like all right go home and start reading and never stop reading for the rest of your lives they never acknowledged it that's it yeah no no no explanation on my way out I grabbed a program because I didn't get one on the way in and I looked and it was like uh you know meet and greet is to take your seats musical performance speech from the dean and I was like ah [ __ ] wow that was so I wish it was unscripted there was just a lady who knew that you guys would be there and she was just like I'm gonna get dressed up and perform for them it was it still is one of the most unbelievable moments because I just for a long time it was like a five minute long song right so I'm just sitting here like no one else is getting up or saying anything so I'm not gonna be that guy who's like oh what are you doing I'll just listen and clap along and uh do we participate or do what do I sing is there am I in the chorus for this or what is this like Street performance art I don't know man uh but yeah a lot nobody explains [ __ ] in law school and they're just like read these cases here's a song this lady's gonna sing at you and be real sad all right be a lawyer nobody [ __ ] prepared me for that man it was time every day you get done with classes and they're like wait the song Law School
