These faggots start edging to the front of their seats as the professor begins to wind down their lecture. As soon as the prof finishes, they LEAP OUT of their fucking chairs and SPRINT to the PODIUM as fast as they can. Then they ask the prof a rehearsed question designed to make themselves appear intelligent OR alternatively tell a FUCKING STUPID anecdote about how THE LAW in this particular class has crawled into their daily lives.
So PATHETIC. DIE PODIUM SPRINTER. DIE.

What do you ask while you're up there?
You are aware that there is a casebook, hornbooks, E&Es, Emmanuels, Crunchtimes, Understanding Series, Casenotes, the Internet, and a million other supplements, right?

i go up to the podium once in a while. i don't think it's the worst behavior, unless, as the OP mentioned, you're sprinting to it.
the worst podium people ask way too many policy questions in class, and then continue their policy banter after it, as if the prof really cares about how res ipsa and information forcing shouldn't apply to 19 defendants in Wolf or Ybarra.
here are two of the worst questions that i recall from podium people:
"So why can't cats count as strict liability? What if they scratch a person once? Is that like the one bite rule?"
"So why doesn't the dissent allow a possessory interest in (insert kidney transfer nonsense/inalienability here)?"(actually, anything about Moore v. Regents. That case is the worst for attracting dumb questions.)

i'm kinda excluding ConLaw because that seems like a given for inciting banal discussion.
Moore is definitely terrible. i would be a very happy law student if i never had to discuss the following cases again:
Moore v. Regents
Tarasoff
Indiana Harbor Belt v. American Cyanamid Co.
Campbell v. Acuff Rose
Mount Laurel I and II (exclusionary zoning)
Regina v. Dudley and Stephens (this one is particularly terrible if you have some philosophy strivers in your class)

Campbell is the big copyright case with "Pretty Woman" and 2 Live Crew. Souter wrote it. basically, if it's a parody designed for a different market, then it doesn't infringe copyright.
Regina is the cannibalism/necessity case for Crim. it's fairly useless on the exam, but profs like to use it for retributive/utilitarian arguments.
Mount Laurel is the Jersey case with exclusionary zoning. the city zoned in a way that excluded low rent housing, therefore keeping the city racially segregated.
Tarasoff is the case with the psychologist and the duty to warn.
Indiana Harbor is the strict liability case in which there was toxic leakage in a suburban area.
i won't dwell on why these cases encourage bad discussion, but just look at the topics: zoning and segregation, incompatible industrial uses, psychologists and the right to privacy, and retributive/utilitarian punishment arguments.

Tarasoff is the torts case about the shrink who didn't disclose to a P that his patient threatened to kill them.
Indiana Harbor was the Posner case about the chemical spill; ultrahazardous activities, I think.
Those are the only 2 I recognize.

This.
The only time I talked to a prof was when I ran into my conlaw prof at the grocery store once.
He was one of those conlaw profs that took delight in confusing people and freaking out gunners. 80% of the class had no clue what he was talking about.
He asked me how his lectures were going and whether we were getting it.
I told him everything was cool, bought a case of beer and a frozen pizza, and went on my way.

Podium sprinters are harmless because by the time they are doing their thing I am out the door and it's only the prof's time they are wasting.
The really annoying gunners are ones who ask stupid questions in class. Those gunners actually waste everyone's time, not just the prof's.

Equally annoying are the striver douches who raise their hand the entire class in order to give their opinion on something, just so they can let the class know how they feel.
This dood in one of my classes probably raises his hand on average every 2-3 minutes, just to say 'I noticed that...' or 'I really think Judge OldDouche is attempting to...'
Those fuckers drive me crazy, and there's always at least one of them every semester.

Right - so the advice to the 1L's is, don't ask professors questions after class, but it's also douchey to email them or see them during office hours, or ask questions during class, or ever display, at any point, to anyone, the slightest sign that you are interested in the material or do not completely understand 100% of the law.
This thread is like the threads that explain why YLS is a TTT because all the students are head-in-the clouds idiots, HLS is a TTT because it's a diploma mill, and every other school is a TTT because it's not Y/H.
Yours in Christ,

Podium sprinters at least have a clue that the rest of the class doesn't give a shit about their questions.
I told a handful of gunners in LS to save their questions for after class.

Guy in my law school is a total aspie gunner. He's on law review and I think is a 3L. In Evidence, he literally took almost half the class period sometimes engaging in useless hypos with the prof. Now, I'm in another class with him and he's trying the same thing though this prof has less patience.
Whenever he asks a question, people look at each other.
