Final Exams, Part One


So, that's Tyd's kitchen. Pretty nice, if you ask me. Needs some nice Pewabic tiles on the backsplash, though.

My challenge for the week is writing final exams for Sentencing and Professional Responsibility. I'm a little at a loss for how to make them sharp and challenging. My favorite test I ever wrote was in White Collar Crime a year ago-- it involved a movie called "Firestorm 4: Explodar City" starring one 'Rink Allegro.' Rink Allegro had accidentally killed himself playing with fireworks on the eve of the movie being shot, setting off a long series of criminal acts.

As to the current challenge: Any ideas for intriguing hypotheticals on ethical dilemmas?

Comments:
A New York lawyer named Benjamin Cardozo gets drunk after work and on his way home pushes a woman onto the tracks at a suburban New York train station, then gets on the train, goes home and forgets about it.

UNTIL a year or so later, when a case involving a Mrs. Pfaltzgraf appears on his docket....
 
Do you really want exam suggestions on your blog? I wish you had started this before I graduated. My suggestion: use Serr as a character on both exams. His victim should be Trail.
 
for P.R. use Lionel Hutz atty at law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Hutz
 
What's a pewabic tile anyway?
 
DISCLAIMER:

Kitchen only half finished.

Pewabic Pottery:

Distinctive and expensive artisan ceramic tile, used in decorating public and private spaces all over Michigan. They have a website I think.
 
Tyd: Love your kitchen. Congratulations, I know you must be happy to be off Lean Cuisine and have an oven & stuff. Our love to Habib, Spencer, Bill and unnamed dog.
 
I think the dog is Named Arthur Kienle, Jr.
