Jerri Cook is an Evil Racist
| March 29, 2012 | Posted by JerriCook under Constitutional Law, First Amendment, Law School, Nut jobs, Political Correctness |
[UPDATE: So, a couple of Concord Law School students don't like what I wrote about their Facebook Page, and the hysterical half-wits are threatening to Honor Code me (it means throw me out of law school). Bring it on. If they try to suppress my 1st Amendment right to Free Speech, I'll fight back...hard and LOUD. If I were Concord Law School, I'd be more worried about the hateful, hysterical comments directed toward other students who exercise their right of Free Speech. Concord has allowed small-minded bullies to take over a forum that was supposed to foster the free exchange of ideas. Instead, it's deteriorated into abject bullying by liberal students against a confirmed and PROUD conservative. What a zoo.]
I’m an evil racist. Just ask some of the students over at the Concord Law School Facebook page. Why? I won’t buy into the manufactured outrage over a teenaged thug’s untimely, but completely predictable death. I won’t condemn a man, who I believe was completely justified in defending himself against this attacker. And I’ll call a spade a spade. Al Sharpton is a race pimp.
I also won’t go along with the meme that Blacks are oppressed in America because of their skin color. It’s just not true. Do people hate others because of skin color? Yes. If someone like Al Sharpton is a repugnant racist, do I have to refrain from pointing this out because he’s Black? Well, if you ask the racists on Concord Law School’s Facebook page, yes. But, if they post denigrating pictures of the Pope, and I cry foul, I’m just a racist good-for-nothing who should be reported to the State Bar. Just ask David, Eurydice (I received an apology from Eurydice. I accept it because we all say things when we’re frustrated that might make us cringe later. It takes a person of good character to apologize when they’ve made a mistake, and I admire her for making the effort.), and of course the most ludicrous of them all, the GreatTakesha. (more…)
How to Fail the California FYLSX
| March 9, 2012 | Posted by JerriCook under Bar Exam, Califronia FYLSX, Law School |
If you’re siting for the California First Year Law Student’s Examination with hopes of passing it the first time, pay attention. I failed it the first time. Not because I didn’t exhaust every exam prep aid I could get my hands on. Not because I didn’t do well my first year in law school. I did very well. I failed it because of an unexpected change in my health which in turn drastically changed my travel plans to and from California.
Here’s the short version. The plan was that my husband and I would take the train from Chicago to Oakland. Not in coach, mind you, but in a private room. Total cost round-trip–$3400. But it was going to be a business expense, so we were going to write the whole thing off. I had pitched an idea to a publication about trains, and we were going to document the entire experience by getting off at random small town stations and exploring the area. Not only was I going to get paid for the video, photos, and stories, I was going to get to do what I love before and after the FYLSX. I was looking forward to it. Then…. (more…)
Abort, Restrict, and Destroy-The War on Faith
| February 16, 2012 | Posted by JerriCook under Constitutional Law, First Amendment, Law School, Legal Issues, Media, Political Correctness |
I have something to say to all you Kumbaya Catholics out there—I told you so. I remember the last time I was at Mass. The Deacon was spouting about how it is my duty to pay for health insurance for the “poor.” I was supposed to pray for (to?) Barack Obama (from the sound of it, you would have thought the Church was on the verge of making him a Saint). So, how’s all that Kumbaya crap working out for you? Ahhh, liberalism, you gotta love it. The Catholic Church, the first and only Church ordained by Christ Himself, is now firmly under the thumb of the oligarchs who control the government. The Church will, by Government edict, pay for and promote Government policies that are abhorrent to people of faith. Seriously, who didn‘t see this coming? (more…)

This fact pattern is based on the Zinniker case. Feel free to respond with your answers. We can compare notes. I’ll post mine as soon as I’m done working on it.
Frieda Farmer owns a small homestead in the State of West Consin. On her homestead, she has three milk-producing cows. Each day, she collects approximately 40 lbs of milk from each cow. Frieda has a USDA Grade-A shipping permit, and her cows are certified organic by the USDA. Freida has received awards for her commitment to sanitation, humane animal practices, and quality. For six months now, Freida has only been shipping the milk from two of her cows to the processor to be made into cheese. Some of the milk from the third is consumed by Freida and her family. The rest of the unpasteurized milk is sold to locals who come to the farm to pick it up fresh every morning. Freida doesn’t store the raw milk for customers at any time. (more…)
Why Bad Legal Writing Makes Me Happy

The Germans have a name for what I felt when I first laid eyes on THE DECISION AND ORDER ON ZINNIKER PLAINTIFF’S CLARIFICATION MOTION. Schadenfreude. It means taking pleasure in another’s misfortunes. In my case, I’m not taking pleasure in Judge Fielder’s denial of the Plaintiff’s motion. But after reading just how poorly the pleadings were written and the issues were argued, I figure if the attorney who wrote them managed to pass law school and a bar exam, there’s no way I can fail.

Seven Tips To Help You Pass the California Baby Bar
| January 29, 2012 | Posted by JerriCook under Bar Exam, Education, Law School, Uncategorized |
If you’ve decided to take the path less traveled on your way to a Juris Doctor, you are no doubt familiar with the Baby Bar, otherwise known as First Year Law Student Examination (usually abbreviated as FYLSE or FYLSX). This is the test required by the State Bar of California for all first-year law students attending a non-ABA-approved law school. You pass the exam within 3 administrations from the time you become eligible to sit for it, or you’re out. That’s how they roll in California. They throw out the baby, the bathwater, and the tub after 3 failed attempts. (more…)
