Columbia Law Students Affected by the Garner Decision to Postpone Finals

Do you think students should be allowed to postpone finals due to the Garner decision?
"Columbia Law School is allowing students to postpone their final exams if they feel too disturbed by the recent grand jury decisions not to indict police officers in the deaths of two unarmed black men, including 43-year-old Eric Garner on Staten Island."

Grow the frick up. If they can't handle that, then they won't handle looking a client in the eye when they lose out on 100k in profits in civil litigation or send a client up for 30 years.

"Your honor, we cannot file our appellate brief because we are too upset about a decision made by the local grand jury."
This will certainly teach responsibility to those lawyers-to-be.

Every single one of those pussies will be a failure in the real world.
I'm about to march into F. King Alexander's office and tell him that the porn I watched this morning was way too softcore and I'm going to need to postpone my finals.

You've got to have thick skin to be in the business. People try to make you look stupid; you have to stay confident and sure. If things don't go your way, you never show it.
Even if these kids are using it as an excuse to delay finals, they are doing it at the expense of their reputation. Pretty dumb, imo.

Said it in the PT thread on this...if I was interviewing a Columbia law grad over the next three years, I'd ask if they postponed their exams and if they did, I'd ask them to leave my office.

It's official...this country has gone insane.

It's like the people who need extra time on exams for pussy reasons. Good look finding a job at a law firm that will let you turn in a motion late because you have ADD, or you were 'stressed,' etc

I once had a hearing in Greenville, Texas. I was visiting with a group of lawyers. One of the lawyers, who was from Houston, started talking about a terrible car accident where the Houston lawyer and his three young children were killed. He said the name of the lawyer, and it was one of my law school roommates. I had to regroup and go forward with the hearing.
These kids are going to be weak (if they delay their final).

Maybe the extra time to study will help them catch their breath.
But seriously though, delaying exams over this?
