If a student read a newspaper in my class or played cards quietly with another student, I would put a stop to the behavior because it is distracting and unproductive. We don't have policies to prevent these behaviors because everyone knows that they are inappropriate. Surfing the Internet, texting and watching tube is the exact same thing. The psychobabble offered to justify this behavior overlooks the fact that law students must learn to respect the rules of whatever forum they land in and that strict adherence is required or they and their clients will suffer the consequences. We placate the law students enough. I say we teach them how to practice law.rwdomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15632136711724934683noreply@blogger.com
