Every now and then ATL posts a story about some law professor who botches their grades, lets the exam questions leak out, withhold grades after critical deadlines making their students less competitive and let’s not forget the TTT out in Los Angeles that simply upped EVERYONE a letter grade retroactively back to 2007.    News flash assclowns, that sort of thing happens all the time.

So here we go!  This was 2L or 3L year…a time that pretty much runs together on me.  One of my law professor’s questions leaked out.  What did Mike Triforce do? Hey guys, remember, it’s me.

So yeah I looked at the questions.  So did every SINGLE person in my study group.  They all said they didn’t of course, but suddenly our outline started to focus on certain subject areas and not others.  By this point I had stopped contributing anything other than beer to study groups. 

For non-1L classes I had long since stopped answering the questions posed and just writing essays on any topic I desired.  In order to do this I would read the books and articles published by my professors.  Now I know what you’re thinking, that probably took a long time.  After awhile I stopped reading the books and just started reading the book reviews.  Then I stopped reading the reviews and just brought them to the exams.  So the fruit of my “cheating” was having to bring seven less sheets of paper to an open book test. 

So why did I stay in the study group? Easy, because a few weeks later everyone was required to share their grades.  How did the cheaters do with respect to the rest of the class?  About average.  One kid overthought the question and wrote some unintelligable crap, one kid figured the questions were his ace in the hole and got lazy and the other well…maybe that was the exam the professor graded on the crapper who knows?  Me? I used my exam as another opportunity to kiss the professor’s ass so I did.  I also got an A. I said I got a B of course, even presented an altered transcript to back up my story.

Why did I do this? Because if I said I had gotten an A when my study group saw me do absolutely nothing for the test then one of those jealous bastards would have accused me of cheating…which I did, it just had nothing to do with my acing the class.  So that’s the story in a nutshell.  Puhl-eeze stop asking me for it, and if you insist at least make a comment so Benito has a reason not to kill himself.  After the Icarus debacle I am not going on suicide watch anymore.
