4.1) The first year of law school at King Hall.
Description
This article is from the King Hall Law School FAQ, by David F. Prenatt, Jr. NetEsq@dcn.davis.ca.us with numerous contributions by others.
4.1) The first year of law school at King Hall.
Shortly after the August 13, 1995 publication of this FAQ, a first
year law student (One L) at King Hall asserted in a a post on the
ucd.king-hall USENET newsgroup (<news:ucd.king-hall >) that this FAQ
was "not terribly accurate." I inquired via e-mail for some
specifics, but none were forthcoming. A second year law student (Two
L) then criticized this FAQ as "unnecessary," and another Two L jumped
on the bandwagon, telling One Ls to ignore this FAQ because first year
law school experiences are personal ones (adding a gratuitous slam
against me as an alumnus who continues to post on the ucd.king-hall
newsgroup). I reluctantly address these unfair characterizations at
the request of the people who have offered their support to me via e-
mail and in person.
While I have been given permission to quote the students, staff,
and faculty who have offered their personal endorsement of this FAQ, I
respectfully decline to do so. The merits of this FAQ will speak for
themselves, and any inaccuracies in this FAQ will be addressed and/or
corrected if they are brought to my attention as the FAQ maintainer
(which was not done by the One L critic whom I mentioned above).
However, the opinions that I express typically do *NOT* reflect
traditional wisdom. Rather, they reflect the truth as I see it.
In presenting the truth as I see it, I discuss many topics in
this FAQ that are not covered anywhere else by anyone else. Indeed, I
discuss topics that cannot be discussed by official spokespersons of
King Hall and/or U.C. Davis, and many people tell me that they find
these candid discussions useful and helpful. Therefore, the nebulous
assertion that this FAQ is unnecessary is difficult, maybe impossible,
to support, and such an assertion (however sincere) does not deserve a
substantial reply.
The comment regarding first year law school experiences has very
little to do with the topics covered in this FAQ, as any Two L would
be able to tell with a casual glance at the TABLE OF CONTENTS. Your
first year law school experiences, as well as those from the rest of
your life, will be your own. No one can take that from you, not me
and certainly not a territorial Two L who has nothing relevant to say
yet purports to impeach the merits of this FAQ with petty character
attacks against me.
