Funny story.
I went to BYU Law School for about 10 days back in late August-September of 1982. Anyway, if you have seen any movies about the First Year of Law School, the professors call on you and try to make their students squirm by pushing their logic to absurd extremes. This is called the Socratic Method. Kind of like being on cross- examination as a hostile witness while your friends and family look on. It is very humiliating for a while.
The school had a rule that anyone with a baby-- not sure how they defined "baby"-- would not be called on during the First Year of Law School.
No Socratic Method for those whose babies were keeping them up at night.
Well, I really wanted to get married and have a baby all before the First Lecture of Criminal Law.
I had already attracted a very stunning Mormon girl who was looking to nab a Mormon law student. She made moves on me as soon as she knew I was a law student. She did not know I was not a Mormon. We had to arrived at the conversation about "Where did you do your mission?" All good Mormons are required to do Missionary Work.
And, I had a Puerto Rican ballet dancer as an on-campus roommate who was a recent convert to Mormonism who wanted to convert me as soon as he learned I was not a Mormon. I could not get much studying done in that environment.
I dropped out of BYU Law School after 10 days or so.
Very different culture as women were concerned at BYU when compared with the U of MN Law School which I went to in 1986 after getting a Masters Degree at the U of Denver in Librarianship in 1984. I graduated from the U of MN Law School in 1989 despite the Socratic Method.
