This is the kind of law student Obama must have been. It's the kind of law student who becomes a Congressman. The country is just doomed. (For fun, read the comments at the link!)

All these morons had to do to keep from becoming “traumatized” is turn off the damn boob tube and open a law book.

If these “law students” fall apart and can’t function when there is a legal decision that makes them apoplectic like this, then they should pick another career because every lawyer gets lots of disappointing rulings, but they have to be ready to be in court ready to go with the next case in Court prbably the next day.
Can you imagine a lawyer asking for a continuance/adjournment because they are too upset and emotional to be in court because of a recent ruling. They would be laughed out of the Bar.

“over the last few weeks many law students have experienced moments of total despair, minutes of inconsolable tears and hours of utter confusion”
Oh you poor little babies.
Maybe you should try experiencing street thugs screaming obscenities at you, threatening you and physically attacking you.

I don’t think the problem is just coddling, but also the turning of academic life into political theatre. I am sure no one would get a break in case of an event not trumpeted by the politically correct.

I had a moment of despair just reading this article.
What a pathetic group of students.

I can’t improve on this statement from the comments:
“The ‘everybody gets a trophy’ generation goes to law school.”

Maybe William Desmond should consider taking up a profession more suited to his “skills” than the law.
I hear that there is quite a demand for good nannies...

I think it's cute...a coddled Millennial asking for a delay in his exams for no good reason explaining why he isn't a coddled Millennial asking for his exams to be delayed.
The week of my senior year in college was the same week John Lennon was shot. I opined, jokingly, of course, that finals ought to be delayed out of respect for the memory of Mr. Lennon. I would imagine that the university administration would not have been amused by my jest, however.
Finals went on as scheduled.

Anything that delays the production more Obama and Holder types, even for a day, is fine with me.
Long may they be traumatized.

Professional law community: this author does not want to be hired for any position involving placing the needs of clients before his own desires.

I have seen the psychological trauma brought on by disillusionment with our justice system send some law students into a period of depression.My gosh, is this for real? If this is the case, they should paint their rooms black and never come out. Keep their litigious a$$es from inflicting confusion onto society.

Law students, they argue, must learn how to engage critically with the law in the face of intense adversity.Yup.

To: Hieronymus
These comments amused me:
How do you expect to be a successful lawyer if you ignore the facts?
Sorry, but that is exactly what lawyers do in order to be successful.
Are you going to protest every time you lose a case?
Oh, hell yes.
