Putting Out a Hit
B.C. has a very difficult existence. Besides his loss in the tournament, one Becky Hild in his Contracts class does this thing where she volunteers to do a case and then requests his co-counsel. B.C. then must stand and do most of the case himself.
Consequently, some have resorted to calling him, “Hild’s Bitch.”
Consequently, some have resorted to calling him, “Hild’s Bitch.”
The main culprit is one T. “Slappy” J. (Name removed to keep him from being googled)
Today was Britt’s birthday. As a gift, Prof. Bates gave him the chance to call on whoever he wanted. Britt called on Slappy and Slappy said “pass.” Not because he hadn’t read and not because he didn’t want to speak, Slappy simply passed to spite Mr. Clark on his birthday.
Not really knowing what to do next, Britt did the case himself and his birthday was ruined.
Feel free to ask Mr. T. “Slappy” J. as many questions as possible. BLS can’t encourage that type of behavior.

im so glad the headlock picture made its way to the from page of FM2W.
to those readers who do not attend Baylor law, please understand that "slappy" and I are not saimese twins!
wtf is this "pass" bs. retired prof. contracts would kick you out on your rear if you tried to "pass" (that or make reference to some dumbass gas).

Pfft. Britt Clark has been threatening to volunteer me for a while now. I told him if he ever did, I would pass. There were no surprises.
This trend of students volunteering other students needs to be cut off. If this trend continues, eventually we'll go class always wondering (and always afraid) if some one other than the prof will call on us. We have enough stress as it is (albeit Contracts thanks to bates is the least stressful of our classes) without having this over our heads.
Don't make me out into the villain here and Britt Clark into the helpless victim. I've told BC on multiple occasions exactly what he needs to do break Hild's grip. He's not the helpless, downtrodden individual your post colors him to be. He knew exactly what he was doing when he decided to call on me. He wanted to set the precedent for future classes -- so when Hild calls on him, he could implead me. At the very least, he was carrying out the threat he made previously. Either way, he took a calculated risk (knowing exactly how I would react) and it back fired on him.
Long story short, (a) his failure to stand up for himself is not my fault and (b) his failure to realize that when I say I will do something, I don't bluff (This, he's learned first hand in property long before the incident in kontracts. Feel free to ask him questions).
I have to make a clarification...
I never call on Britt to get out of doing a case. Today, as my co-counsel, he said one sentence & I took care of the rest.
As far as the "slappy" incident goes... in the words of prof crim pro, "no surprises there."
Not to mention, his one sentence was "I really don't know." Impressive performance by the birthday boy!
To be fair, I think he was trying to force Hild to answer because Hild punted the question to him.
No, I think he didn't know.

if a professor calls on you to answer a question, you had better damn well answer the question; however, if a fellow student calls on you to answer a question, i think you have the right pass, and then thumb your nose at them.
I believe that it is time for Lorde Mayor to, once again, make his presence known. I have sat idley by for too long, and I now feel that my infallible insight is required. Allow me to remove the clouds shrouding the current situation, and shed some much needed light on the truth of the matter. If I may speak candidly, and I trust that you all will permit me to do so, it appears as if the instant case is one that can be explained quite simply and concisely. The current situation to which you all have been alluding is a simple case of Britt envy.
Now that the situation has been appropriately and accurately described and classified, I beseech all of you to allow me to proffer some advice to Britt and this "Slappy" fellow. Britt, it us of utmost importance that you do not allow your fellow students' infectious envy to cause you to change the perception you have of yourself. From what I can glean from these comments, Britt, you sir, are a scholar and a gentleman, and I plead with you not to change, and remain steadfast, strong, and resilient. As for you, Slappy, your actions are deplorable, cowardly, and, for lack of a better word, pathetic. Only a single explanation comes to mind as to why one would shun an opportunity to wow one's professor and peers with his knowledge, and that explanation, Slappy, is that, you sir, were ill-prepared, and chose to sit and watch Britt bask in his own brilliance.
Welcome back Lorde Mayor. Verbose yet simple. Just how I like it.
