And Justice for All...

From what I have seen of the movie so far, I would say that law school looks extremely difficult. It seems to be a completely immersive experience that is not forgiving to outside interests. It seemed doable but it took group work and talent and a whole lot of studying. A scene that shows how immersed and dedicated to the study was when hart and his girlfriend broke up because he didn’t have time to dedicate to her because of his studying. This is what I expected. My mom went to law school and stopped because she didn’t have time and law school consumed all of her time.

I am very impressed with Harry so far. I think he has done a great job with his studies and entering the “top eshelon.” I know people might be disappointed with his performance as a boyfriend but I think he made the right decision to write the paper for the professor instead of going to cape with his girlfriend. I think he does not have time for her and he should not be with her because it strains their relationship and it hurts his studies. This of course is his conflict. Trying to balance his love life with law school.



“There are those who genuinely believe that their class rank and GPA in law school will follow them around for the rest of their careers.  In some very unique circumstances, this may be the case, but it is far from the rule.”
This statement jumped out at me because from what I saw in the movie, the grades were the most important thing. Also i would like Dan to address dynamics in study groups and if they are usually as tense as the one we saw in the movie. Also what he said about the hazing was interesting because I never saw that in the movie. I only saw one positive interaction with an upper classman.




Finally: this moment in the movie Whiplash reminds me of Kingsfield's class
