Let's have some elitism for lunch, shall we?

You must be from NUS Law if

you are one of those considered atas enough to have your own campus in Bukit Timah.

you realise that your best friend in contracts is wikipedia.


"eh mambo 2nite" is your favourite phrase on wednesdays.

The drama in your life now rivals that of prisonbreak

You make frustration, mistake and nervous shock jokes about law school.

4 letter words like LAWR and Tort probably mean the same thing as a certain 4-letter F word.

You can name without hesitation at least three people who make you want to throw things when you see them raise their hands in class.

You know the difference between the determinism and intentionalism, positivism and naturalism, retributivism and utilitarism

You are truly and deeply unnerved by the thought of some of your classmates becoming judges (and you facing them)

You think that the C J Koh Library is the place to be seen.

You agree that there are many ways to skin the cat , just that you dun seem to skin it in the way they award A+.

Sometimes during disagreements you are tempted to s.300(c) your fellow learned brothers (and sisters)

You can’t remember if you decided to come to law school because you wanted to help people and make a difference in the world or because you hate yourself.

After the first semester you realized that “briefing a case” need only consist of looking it up on twee's muggers or mini hercules

You’ve seen your frens watching EPL or shopping online during legal theory classes.

When someone is expressing their frustration or anger about something that is in any way related to the law, you can’t be sympathetic because you’re too busy figuring out in your head if they have a cause of action.

You have secret fantasies about being Lord XXX of Bishan or Baroness XXXX of Heng Mui Keng.

You know that you should never pick a fight with someone smaller sized than you, hit him on his head with a mortar or wooden pole more than once or commit a robbery with 5 or more people.

You know who are the fungstons, gans, zhangs, yins (or is it nahs?) are.

You're pretty sure the reasonable prudent man is a friendless fool who still lives with his mother.

You think the standard of care is that of a reasonable person on a SBS Bus (preferably with aircon)

Last of all, you think that your grades are subjectively objective.

I got this off someone in law school, of course.
How true. But how indulgent. Especially considering the fact that people not from nus law know jack shit about "twee's muggers" or CJ Koh Law Library for that matter. How we looooveee xoxoxoxo to indulge in our little elitist bukit timah campus-up-on-the-hill lives. WTF. Furthermore, I don't know the difference between intentionalism and determinism or retributivism and utilitarianism.

On a slightly similar note, I have sucessfully (I hope) completed 1 year in law school. Yay for me. They say it's the hardest year in law school. Man if that be the case, bring it on. I expected it to be sheer hell. But it was quite the scrape of atmospheric cake in between heaven and hell. Or maybe that's just because my grades will suffer for my scrape of cake later. Haha. But it's ok.
