Columbia Law School students: No justice, no finals
Columbia Law postpones finals over Eric Garner ‘trauma’
http://nypost.com/2014/12/08/columbia-law-postpones-finals-over-grand-jury-trauma/
They’re a long way from being hard-nosed litigators.
A group of Columbia University law students demanded the school postpone their finals because of their “trauma” over the Eric Garner and Michael Brown grand jury decisions.
And the bleeding-heart higher-ups bought it.

Here's where it started...
THE COLUMBIA LAW SCHOOL COALITION OF CONCERNED STUDENTS OF COLOR
...Recent events have unsettled our lives as students. We have struggled to compartmentalize our trauma as we sit and make fruitless attempts to focus on exam preparation. We sit to study with the knowledge that our brothers and sisters are regularly killed with impunity on borders and streets; we sit to study with the understanding that our brothers and sisters are marching to have our humanity recognized and valued by a system that has continually failed us. We join marches with the looming anxiety that spending our time organizing events and attending rallies could put our studies and positions in the law school community in jeopardy.
Our trauma will be present with us on exam day, our trauma is inhibiting us from sleeping at night, and our trauma is ever-present among the words in our textbooks. Moreover, the violence that the law has done to Mike Brown and now Eric Garner is a legal violence that affects and implicates us all. We are now asked to use the same legal maneuvers and language on our exams this Monday that was used to deny justice to so many Black and Brown bodies. In being asked to prepare for and take our exams in this moment, we are being asked to perform incredible acts of disassociation that have led us to question our place in this school community and the legal community at large...

They should publicize the list of students so we know which lawyers to never use.
Oh wait. Now I understand. These AA admissions, unprepared for higher education, find themselves also unprepared for exams. No surprise there. Which can only mean the exams are rayciss. Surprised they aren't just asking for their degrees and a passing grade on the bar.

Besides the degree, passing the bar they probably expect a job as well .....
Isn't being able to do the job under stress part of being a good lawyer, or a good anything for that matter? So I'm in court with some guy defending my freedom, maybe my money, hell maybe my life, and the stress is too much for these people? This is a lawyer people would want?
Okay kids, here's a real stressful situation. You're in a firefight and people are shooting at you. What was I to do? Gee it's so hard to hear with all this noise. Gee I don't know if I can relay the right coordinates with all this chaos going on around me. Gee the guy 10 feet away just got shot in the face. Gee, I'm tired, I scared, and I'm fucking HOT cause it's 110 fucking degrees out. Gee, I just want to go home. Do I make excuses and curl up in a ball? Is that what you do, or do you suck it the fuck up and do your job? Jesus what a bunch of f'n pussies.
Many states have a different (and easier) bar exam for those who are declared to have "learning disabilities". They also get unlimited time to complete the test.
