I feel like I'm going to need somewhere to bitch every once in a while. I will start now.
I met my first gunner today. In a room filled with 200 people, he alone dominated the discussion. Keep in mind, none of us know shit about the law yet, so there shouldn't be anything for us to talk about. I already hate this guy more than anything. "Official" classes don't even start until Monday. Miraculously, he somehow ended up near me while I was eating lunch and engaged me. Though I'm a master of one-word-answering people until they realize I want to be left alone, gunners are immune to this tactic. If this dong smoker ends up in my section, I may have to quit law school. |

I'm curious about this too. I started out with an interest in medical school and completed several of the aspects related to admissions before switching to law, (that's what made me change), and have never heard anything about medical school gunners.
I volunteered for a year in the ER and was a PAID moderator here so I'm kind of a big deal. |

My cousin was a Med School gunner; also a anorexic bulemic who finally went to like rehab after hitting like 90 lbs.
From what I've heard, Med school is less personal competition because you are going into specialized fields that might not be in direct competition. I might have that misunderstood though. |

A gunner in law school is the person who won't shut the fuck up. Sometime profs ask for volunteers and some people will spend the whole goddamn class talking. The gunner also proves that there are stupid questions and stupid people who ask questions. This is part of the socratic that is frustrating. An instructor will toy with a dumbass for 45 minutes embarrassing the shit out of him while this person doesn't give correct responses and the gunner keeps coming back for more without realizing his foolishness.
Most likely, somebody is going to get fed up with both the instructor and the gunner to shut the fuck up and quit wasting class time. It's most likely going to be a middle of the pack student who takes half a semester to realize they spent half a semester talking about incorrect material and that student is now pissed off. The gunners typically never learn. However the instructor will get a clue after enough students just tell him to cut the shit and move things along. And IM, maybe I'll fuck your mother instead, son. |

I know for a fact he does. I gave it to him.
LSC Post #2: Law school blows. I spent all fucking day (literally from about 10AM-7:00PM) studying for my first day of actual classes which start on Monday. They consist of three measly 1.25 hour classes, and I still feel unprepared. Tomorrow I will begin Tuesday's assignments. Draconian teaching methods + evil-genius professors + complex & unfamiliar material - any prior knowledge about what you're reading = a crushed ego. I've never felt more stupid. (Not compared to my classmates mind you, just compared to the staggering intellect of the professors (more accurately, their staggering legal intellect, though almost all of them went to one the top 10 law schools in the country and are much smarter than I am in other aspects as well (besides maybe bird law))). At this point I'm sure even AP is still smarter than me regarding most aspects of the law. That being said, I am so far enjoying the challenge. I can't wait to figure this all out so I don't burn out by studying everything. I think I'm already starting to notice patterns, but mostly chalk that up to what's left of my once massive ego. |

I'm also pretty goddamned sure I know more about practicing law than several of your professors combined. You'll figure out soon they're not that great. Their genius comes from decades of repitition. | |

Yeah, when I first read this I was confused. Why wouldn't AP still be smarter than you regarding the law? | ||

Should FC go to law school?
Pretty sure he'd be good at it. |

Is my ego really perceived as that outrageous? I assumed that it would be obvious that the entirety of my legal knowledge could easily be compared to that of a huge bag of flaccid cocks. By comparing the two of us I was just making an offhand, self-deprecating joke about AP. | |
