Classic Lines

It is time for some new classic lines from law school lectures. This time, some advise from one of our professors on dealing with judges:

• Have a healthy skepticism and contempt for judges, because you can never underestimate their stupidity.
  
• An odd judge may be ignorant, stupid, or lazy. You just never know if the judge in your case is going through a divorce or is just sick of doing his job and does not care any more.
  

• With growth of power, members of court interpret the government as having unlimited powers. At some point, people stopped reading the constitution. If we want the constitution to do the things we want it to do, we just amend the constitution. Why do judges keep doing things that aren't in the constitution just because we have been doing them.

And finally, the words of another Professor* of mine as he walked by me reading outside and catching some of the last sun rays of fall:

• Yo man! Wake up!

*The general consensus of our class is that he is totally nuts, but has been teaching and advocating for so many years he just says and does whatever he wants
