The Moment I Realized Law School Wasn't All It Was Cracked Up To Be

On the second day of class as a 1L, several classmates and I were discussing a possession case that we had read for property. One guy reiterated the holding, which was essentially that possession is 9/10ths of the law. Being a smartass, I replied, "Ah yes, that goes back to the classic case of Finders vs. Keepers." The guy looked at me, then started tearing through his book. "I didn't see that case. Where did you find it? Were we supposed to read it?"
