Question 4: Civil M'F-ing Procedure! Personal Freakin' Jurisdiction and Res Judicata and Collateral Estoppel. Booyah. My knowledge of nonmutual offensive collateral estoppel buzzwords might still have been inadequate, but all in all, absolute best thing to face first thing this morning.

Question 5: the fabled Contracts/PR crossover. Better than a straight PR question in some regards, but the first contract interog, usually one of my stronger subjects, was a bit of a head-scratcher today. If I lost here, it will be for lack of proper answer organization and a unwarranted bungling of the law. I may have pulled enough out of my ass and tossed in enough headings to salvage. The PR component? Well, despite re-reading those outlines many times, still never really stuck or grasped the best plan of attack with a K crossover. Here, a lawyer represented his client's business legal matters and then contracted with her - maybe - to sell some goods via his independent surplus sales business. The agreement gets all mucked up, he pockets some profits he probably shouldn't have. Discuss. I did, to the best of my abilities. But only time will tell if I'm ethical enough for their purposes.

Question 6: Criminal Procedure with a dash of criminal law (imperfect defense of others - hmm, I didn't use the word "imperfect" come to think of it. And I think it was imperfect, anyway, whatever). Deft assaults and batters a cop arresting his friend. He gets nabbed the next day by cop acting under a precise description from the assaulted officer. She arrests and finds coke in his pocket (the kind in a baggie, not a bottle, natch). Suppressed or in? Then she Mirandizes and he says no lawyer no talkie. He's stuck in a line-up, no counsel present, but THEN is charged. ID in or out? The next day cop re-Mirandizes, gets waiver, and interrogates. He cops to cop beating. In or out? So on parts 1 -3 we got your 4th, 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendments and the exclusionary rule and the exceptions to warrantless searches, etc. Part 4 was whether he got that defense of others thing right. My answer: I don't know, but I filled two grafs with my best guess.

So for those keeping score at home:

Good: Questions 1, 4, and 6; PT 1
On the fence: Questions 2, 5
Icky feeling in the tummy: Question 3, MBEs

The worst thing would be to feel amped now but fail in the end because it means even when things break your way, they don't.

One more session left, nothing to do for it but show up and bring the 1440 game.
