I'm certain that your positive attitude is a factor in this success.<br /><br />That is a great essay on law school and the Socratic method. Thanks for sharing those wonderful tales.<br /><br />Almost all my law school profs -- except Ruth Bader Ginsberg -- used the Socratic method; she lectured. Most of them were quite civil to the students, although my crim procedure prof did like to pick on those of us working as his research assistants on the Criminal Law Revision Commission. When he learned my history, he would call on me as "Captain M," pointed out that he served as a private in the Corps. I got my revenge when I learned that he actually had been promoted to Sgt, and told him I had "no time for Sergeants."<br /><br />The only humorous incident I can recall with the Socratic method involves C Clyde Ferguson, who was a visiting professor at Rutgers for one year. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence_Clyde_Ferguson,_Jr. ) He was so intimidating -- physically and intellectually -- that he once urged a young female student to "read between the lines" of the case, and she appeared to actually try to literally do that.<br /><br />You remain in our thought and prayers. Hang in there.<br /><br />DanDan Matyolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946575560942301993noreply@blogger.com
