The Chewbacca Defense

Here's a nice summary of how hard it is to fail law school. So no matter how much I freak out, really, it's not that bad:

Lyco: How’s it goin?
jes: better...still stressy, but fine... how are you?
Lyco: I'm devouring sour patch kids. So I'm happy
jes: :)
Lyco: Except that I’m going to fail Corporations and we’re all going to die.
jes: we're not going to fail. Bottom line is failure I think is really reserved for people who do not show up for the exam or just write "CHEWBACCA IS A WOOKIE YOU MUST ACQUIT" on it. Any degree of substantive knowledge will get you a passing grade and that is ALL THAT MATTERS.
Lyco: You mean the Chewbacca defense isn’t substantive?


I laughed outloud and got a nasty look from an uptight blonde guy. So I showed it to my friend. She laughed outloud and the blonde guy packed up and left. Woohoo! The Chewbacca defense works!

I guess I should study... now that I can't rely on the Chewbacca defense.
