How Do I Know I’m a D-Bag?

Today as judge I granted a strike for cause that inadvertently burned the jury, failed to invoke rule 235 when given the chance, and helplessly confused the lawyers. This led to Hatchet losing 5 points off his PC grade and the GRP requesting a redo on the entire exercise.

I’ve never felt worse about myself as a person or a law student.

Update:

The GRP decided he didn’t want to hear another Voir Dire.

Instead the lawyers were assigned opposing sides of a divorce case and instructed to research a specific issue related to the rendition of judgment. I’m supposed to take the letter briefs, make a decision as a matter of law, and tell the class on Friday why I decided the case the way I did. FML.

Lesson. Never grant a motion that is dispositive or close to dispositive of the entire freaking case. Clown.

I agree and that's why I feel terrible. I wasn't smart enough to realize what I was doing.

Shelley did the same thing. But GRP likes Hatchitt and despises McDonald. And, obviously, you.
