I spoke with a professor from last semester about a final. Turns out I lost quite a few points because I got the names of people in the story confused, which threw some other stuff off.
Law school finals, if they include an essay, have a story about people breaking the law. The point of the essay is to discuss all the laws that were broken or might have been broken. The story tends to include people. With names. And it helps if you keep the names straight when you’re trying to explain who can sue who for what.

maybe next time i'll try "that dude" or "that chic." i think professors deserve a chuckle every now and then.

I had a business law class once in college. On tests, I would generally refer to the different parties as "these guys", or "the first guys". That didn't work very well, either.

heh - yea - that'd kinda suck if you were in a courtroom and didn't get people's names right... or just start making up crap. the jury will believe it no matter what...

So THAT'S what a law school exam is like! I always wondered!
