Circumlocutions

ith apolo­gies to Jeff Foxworthy.

• If the joke you heard last night about Arti­cle 9 of the UCC had a punch­line based on Jus­tice Frankfurter’s opin­ion on stomach-pumping under the 4^th Amend­ment… you might be in law school.
  • If you got the joke and laughed… you are def­i­nitely in law school… and you’re a geek.
• If, some­where in your sub­con­scious, you feel guilty when you’re not car­ry­ing roughly 200 lbs of text­books… you might be in law school.
• If you have dreamed of a § key on your key­board.… you might be in law school.
  • If you even know what the § sym­bol means… you might be in law school.
• If you have ever com­plained that Bar­Bri is a monop­oly… you might be in law school.
  • If you know that Bar­Bri was a monop­oly… you might be in law school.
• If you have a stated pref­er­ence between West­law and Lex­is­Nexis… you might be in law school.
  • If you have run the exact same search through both… you are def­i­nitely in law school.
• If you think a para­graph feels naked with­out the word “how­ever” or the phrase “in regard to”… you might be in law school.
• If you have ever been asked a ques­tion which has no cor­rect answer… you might be in law school… or you might just be married.
