Family law, aka: The Circus

The class has slowly deteriorated…

Jill is harsh.

Professor W: “Those you in the class with kids! What if your kid was 15 and wanted to marry a 48-year-old guitar teacher. What would you do?”
Jill: “All girls boarding school!”
Professor W: “Where they beat them?”
Jill: “Sure!”
Professor W: “Or where they handcuff them to the bed at night?”
Jill: “Well if she wanted to marry a 48-year-old…”

Professor W doesn’t agree.

Professor W: “Should the husband be allowed after 25 years to go “oh we weren’t married at all …hahaha fuck you?’ Well? Should he, Judge Smith? Will you let him do that?”
Jack: “Yes!”
Professor W: “NO YOU WILL NOT!”

MLS: Hanson Hall Starbucks

The law school building contains brilliant people, but has the aesthetic appeal of a leaky basement. This is why so many of us sneak over to the business school, which has windows and a full-service Starbucks. Behold:

Hanson Hall Starbucks

Usually the view is great, but today’s snowstorm makes the usual view of Downtown Minneapolis a little hard to see…

Hanson Hall Starbucks

Downtown is still there, somewhere, sort of... but the snowed-out view is still preferable to the dungeon law school building.
