Osler's Razor

You know what is strange? Looking at that photo, I can immediately tell which monkey represents which professor.
 

Three hours on friday afternoon? Do many people sign up for this class? At the Business school, Friday is for golf, not class.
 

I'm wondering if Tradelawguy is going to Nigeria to help secure my share of $47,000,000 in gold-mine stock. Prince Mobeli Mobeli promised I'd get it if I sent him $1000.
Thanks Tradelawguy!
 

Walleye--

Hey! I sent him $1,000 first! That's my $47,000,000! Um,.... why did he write to both of us?
 

My favorite part...

Prof Evidence: ...and Prof PC I will address that in a minute.

45 minutes later...

Prof PC I: We'll take a seven minute break before I begin...
 

Hey, I really appreciated the seven-minute break...
 

to swanburg disciple - it's mandatory

we thought we were going to get out by maybe 4 like all the other afternoon sessions, but when PC I prof said 7 minute break, a sinking feeling came over me that this wasn't going to end anytime soon.

the girl next to me had tears in her eyes as she realized it too - not joking

anywho - as someone who hasn't taken ANY criminal courses beyond those offered by your debate opponent in the first year, it was interested to see your take on things Osler. And to be reminded in PR that there is a 5th and even a 6th amendment!
 

i should clarify - the tears were from tiredness and not the material covered
 

Which one is in the middle trying to do the re-enactment of Michael Jackson's "Thriller"?

If there's interpretive dance involved, I won't be so afraid of PC.
 

Foolish, foolish Yee.

See how you feel when Prof. Evidence is standing two feet from you while you attempt to perform the interpretive dance you read about last night for 7 hours.
 

Yes, future PC'ers never underestimate the sheer AURA of the PC prof's presence when you are selecting a seat. Also, when they are that close (and Prof Evidence will occasionally go into the rows) they can see (and have been known to pick up) your notes!

That legal info day would have been better saved till the end, cuz I can't remember anything from that day.
 

I was actually hoping that it was the Profs that did the interpretive dance... darn it.
 

Sounds like you needed a big tent and some "A-men"s.

Hopefully, no real opening statement lasts three hours.
 

There was no dance, but Prof. Powell did pace back and forth.

It was rhythmically hypnotizing.

Like a cobra about to strike.
 

I saw an opening statement last over an hour. The lawyer had lost the jury after 15 minutes and nothing he said was getting it back. Truly frightening.
 

Now, now people - there's plenty of the Prince's money to go around. If each of you will send me $500 plus your checking account number, I am sure Prince Mobeli will be more than happy to disgorge that $47 million. For my part, I plan to endow a chair and build a new wing at Baylor. I can just see it now, the Tradelawguy and Mrs. Tradelawguy Chair of International Law, classes held in the Tradelawguy and Mrs. Tradelawguy South Wing. I may not have as much as those tobacco barons who built the place, but I'm sure it will do...
 

That middle monkey has some serious Man Boobs...

DId I say that out loud?
 

Trade I hope you are REALLLLLY careful when you go to these countries.
I saw that horrifying movie Proof of Life.

Oh and say hi to Brangelina for me...
 

btw - no one seems to have mentioned that the "lecture" was amazing. three different styles of feeding us decades of experience on a topic every trial attorney must master. not to add that i knew nothing about the subject before hand. you complain because we got out at 5? i'd beg for another ten minutes to listen and learn. friday was by far my favorite day of PC thus far. i'm already looking forward to next friday. six, please?
 

Annony 5:39 is that irony? Go read yer Mcelhaney's, ya nerd!
 

Thanks Tyd - Yes, I am quite careful. Body guards, ransom insurance - the whole package - plus I use Angelina's hotness as a shield much like those rockin' bracelets Wonder Woman has. She, like they, deflect all things bad.

That said, if you hear of some U.S. lawyer being kidnapped or killed at the end of next week, pray it's my travelling companion. (Not really, but better him than me!)
 

First, we were only awake because we are scared to death of Powell. Secondly, you are all very different. The ability to say everything needed in a short amount of time is appreciated on a Friday afternoon. Thank you Professor Osler.
 

5:39. Your life may revolve around law school and everything legal related, but a reasonable end time would help those of us who have a life and responsibilities outside Baylor. Although I do agree that it was interesting and more helpful than my entire second year, I think 3 hours is a little too long.
 

Trade: I really think that on a trip like that you would need Russell Crowe and David WhatHisName with the red hair CARUSO!!! along with you instead of Angelina... Of Course, the mob of sycophants and parasitic reporters that swarm around she and Brad would offer certainly some protection.

BUT SO WHAT if they make horrible movies, adopt children from third world nations, build Expensive yet modest looking and earth friendly green housing for hurricane victims, and pretend to be annoyed at the media attention they attract?
I mean who gave her that whole UN Goodwill ambassador thing anyway? Warren Beatty?

YOu notice they never give it to anyone who has NOT been on the People Most Beautiful List do they? You never see them give Joan Rivers or Carrot Top or Howie Mandell or Ray Ramano some ammbassadorship, do you?

Trade I think we need to talk to Osler about your being the Razor's Goodwill Ambassador. Here you are flying all over the world, Trading Laws or whatever and you get NO CREDIT.
 

Funny Tyd - I got very little credit when I was at Baylor, either (grads, that is). However, if appointed the Razor ambassador to Nigeria I will consider taking my computer and, provided internet is available, post the first comment from the Dark Continent telling of my efforts to spread the word of Osler and ensure he gets many, many more pleas from Princes, Kings, former Lords, and Chief Mzabuko to partake in their windfalls of "millions of dollars."
 

" . . . do many . . sign up for this class ?" Bwah hahahahahahaha!
