Even *I* admit that this one is a bit of a stretch, but it's the end of the semester, and I'm 5/6 of a lawyer, dang it!

((Click comic to enlarge))

I realize that a number of people won't be happy at me for this, but today marks the last day of J.D. Comics for the year! We'll return with more dinosaur legal hilarity once the school year starts up again! Happy holidays!

In panel 2, you really have to imagine the dramatic chipmunk music playing.

One of these days, a professor will tell us on the last day of class that we were so good we won't need to take a final. It will be GLORIOUS

((Click comic to enlarge))

Well, AT LEAST I know my seminar paper won't have any non-academic implications. It barely has academic ones.

((Click comic to enlarge))

And yes, I doublechecked to make sure it was properly dated to ensure that it was payable on demand. Disgusting.

((Click comic to enlarge))

Seriously, don't get me started on the bar exam.

((Click comic to enlarge))

Rote memorization best memorization.

((Click comic to enlarge))

I would not even be surprised if I saw Panels 1-3 on an MBE test question one of these days.

Law school: turning normal members of society into Schadenfreudian monsters since the 1600s.

((Click comic to enlarge))

Utahraptor was originally going to point out the impracticalities of T-Rex's rule, but shaming is so much much more effective

((Click comic to enlarge))

Have you ever wanted a page a day calendar filled with comics about dinosaurs in law school? WELL NOW'S YOUR CHANCE! Comic #365!

((Click comic to enlarge))

Apologies for lack of comics yesterday; my computer woes continue!

THANKFULLY it's only my screen. I managed to recover my notes and everything when I got home!

((Click comic to enlarge))

If I start seeing romance novels with the title of "Genesis and NCS", I'm quitting life.

((Click comic to enlarge))

I'm still not even sure "after-acquired property interest" is even a concept, or if it was just something made up by the professor to trick us.

((Click comic to enlarge))

Note to self: Asking the dean of the law school if he has a zombie survival plan is probably NOT the best way to start a conversation.

((Click comic to enlarge))

After today, J.D. Comics will be taking a (planned, this time!) break for Thanksgiving! T-Rex and the rest of the dinos wishes everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving break, and we'll return on Monday, the 29th!

I guess he just walks around with a tarot deck and a con law book, seeing what comes up.

"Computer, write me a paper about how I shouldn't have invented you in the first place. Then I'll get back to the sulfur mines"

((Click comic to enlarge))

It is SURPRISINGLY hard to get T-Rex to do deadpan.

((Click comic to enlarge))

P.S.: this is the actual reason it was posted late yesterday. Long live working internet!

The thing that really makes me smile is that, under the multiverse theory, somewhere out there this is ACTUALLY HAPPENING

((Click comic to enlarge))

You just KNOW that Kennedy would be the one who doesn't rule immediately.

((Click comic to enlarge))

Think your significant other would respond to a reasoned argument based on precedent? LAWYER'S BLOCK STRIKES AGAIN

((Click comic to enlarge))

This would have been a lot more adorable if T-Rex hadn't done this in the middle of the library at 11pm.

((Click comic to enlarge))

If we put ALL the legal minds at work on this problem, I'm SURE we can get a workable jetpack. Or a lawsuit for our robotic adjudicators to solve.

((Click comic to enlarge))

I actually kind of want one of those badges.

((Click comic to enlarge))

You'll all be happy to know that the end of moot court for me = the end of moot court comics!

((Click comic to enlarge))

"Moot" really is a great word when you think about it.

((Click comic to enlarge))

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not entirely sure that Utahraptor's topic is even, umm, something, but it certainly sounds sleep-inducing.

((Click comic to enlarge))

I'm not sure if T-Rex's tone of voice is really coming through in panel 2

((Click comic to enlarge))

Don't forget to vote today! Especially you law students, you should vote like your job depends on it BECAUSE IT KINDA DOES

((Click comic to enlarge))

Round robins for ethically troubling situations

((Click comic to enlarge))

Special thanks to Jessica for the inspiration for THIS comic (if that's an indication for how our conversations seem to go)

This actually happened to me. The last thing I want to read is Scalia talking about "puberty rights under the Takings clause" ::shudders::

((Click comic to enlarge))

You should have seen THAT joke coming from like miles away here, people.

((Click comic to enlarge))

"So we don't even have a state constitution that establishes a legislature to pass laws OH WELL"

((Click comic to enlarge))

But if something unfun is named something fun, can it truly be unfun?

((Click comic to enlarge))

This comic brought to you by the voice that sounds like the Cryptkeeper or something

((Click comic to enlarge))

Business cards usually have full body pictures on them, right?

((Click comic to enlarge))

D's love of cooking has been well-established in the JD Comics canon by now.

((Click comic to enlarge))

I'll be the first to admit that I don't ACTUALLY know much about copyright law, but this seems like the perfect way around most infringement claims

((Click comic to enlarge))

The only good thing that can be said about T-Rex's game face is that it's too ADORABLE to keep opposing counsel serious

((Click comic to enlarge))

Also, India passes a lot more constitutional amendments, apparently? They've been around like 60 years and are in the mid-40s for amendments

((Click comic to enlarge))

T-Rex, stomping people AT the networking event probably isn't helping matters

((Click comic to enlarge))

I don't know how the emotionally 5 year old T-Rex is in law school some days

((Click comic to enlarge))

Oh T-Rex, I'm still not sure why you thought a breakfast of eggs and anchovies would be *good*

((Click comic to enlarge))

For better or for worse.

((Click comic to enlarge))

It's so easy to get from rhetorical questions to parade of horribles

((Click comic to enlarge))

Cheers to Dustin for the idea for the comic.

Oh the wonders of reading briefs.

((Click comic to enlarge))

Strangely, T-Rex knew of his fear before entering law school and decided to go anyway

((Click comic to enlarge))

My favorite thing about this might be how nonchalantly Utahraptor points out the hundreds of lives lost from the stomping

((Click comic to enlarge))

I'm actually pretty sure that in Superman canon, Lex Luthor became US President. So really, T-Rex's fears are well-justified

((Click comic to enlarge))

Actually, I'm not even sure why T-Rex felt the need to qualify that in panel 6, since that's like most of his study sessions.
