If you see me walking around today and I don't respond, chances are I'm actually asleep

Ah, gotta love moot court brief crunch time.

New game: Incorporate references to as many fields of law as you possibly can in one conversation.

Under this logic, I'm pretty sure that if I just don't turn in the brief, I automatically win.

I can only imagine what T-Rex would have done if he had successfully cited some obscure 1750 French case, but all the possibilities are *awesome*

Edit: Minor update to ensure Utahraptor, uhh, speaks proper english in panel 5. This is what happens when I write on the trainride home at midnight.

Utahraptor was originally going to say "beating you in an argument" in panel 6, but that seemed a little low brow for him.

I was going to have T-Rex say this in the Prime universe, but he'd be too ashamed if he actually said "weeba wuzzle" to a Justice

The best thing about Commercial Law Survey is that it's basically Contracts all over again, so I can make all the jokes I didn't make 1L year

Sir Leoline Jenkins wrote the Statute and it was passed by the Cavalier Parliament, which goes to show that British names are ridiculous in any time

Utahraptor, there's no need to make the point so visibly.

More importantly, legal theories with ridiculous results!

Cardozo is really in the lead for the "make simple concepts as complicated as possible" race, to be honest. I mean, have you read Palsgraf? Ridiculous

I sense some underlying tension between Utahraptor and D about raising a parliamentary ruckus, so to speak.

If a comment is made about the meta-ness of a joke about something being so meta, does anyone really care?

Special thanks to Emily K. and Phil for, umm, basically writing this comic. It turns out that I'm just a really good transcriber! It's the actual secret to humor.

Or we could just make the whole thing simpler and say T-Rex is de facto President in this situation.

Ok, so I apparently fail at keeping track of what day of the week it is. But that's what happens when I only have class on one day? Hopefully I'll be keeping to my schedule better this week! Thanks for not being TOO upset with me (Stephanie and Jen, I'm looking at you :-p).

The MPRE is really more about being able to guilt yourself about breaking ethics rules than anything else.

It's like waking up one day and thinking "Good heavens! My goal in life is to be a roadkill remover!"

I like the idea of T-Rex wandering around his school, seeing his friends, and dictating his letter to no one.

Sorry T-Rex, not even most law students make up their own hypos in their free time. You're just that weird.

It's Labor Day on Monday! Only three weeks into the school year, and J.D. Comics is already taking it's first break. Comics return on Tuesday!

One guy was OCD enough to categorize and organize the candy sitting on the table into rows. Oh neurotic law students

I'm not gonna lie, I kinda just wanted to take a long shower after writing panel 2.
