I have the same question, why did the guy feel the need to include the language? What purpose was to be served? It's really pretty simple, unless you are intending to offend, leave it out. Not knowing the guy's pattern and practice I don't know if firing was appropriate either.

But talking/joking about how his boss feared that he'd become homicidal seems pretty daft on his part though.

We've now stepped through the looking glass. Not writing a racial epithet is actually worse than writing a racial epithet. OK. :lol:



He had to think the word. Now thst's a crime. This is the slippery slope when you start banning words.


Don't be such a patriot, JORR.

Uh-oh, looks like CFMB is sliding down that slippery slope, too.

Well, well, well…how the turntables.


:lol:

But he didn't include the language.

In any event, the article contains an explanation of why he was using an example regarding a discrimination case.

The stuff about his boss thinking he'd become homicidal is definitely weird, but I don't see how it can be reasonably construed as a threat.

The majority of our claims are employment related- age discrimination, sexual harassment, race discrimination, etc. and reading the allegations are often funny. What the law professor put in that exam is alleged often. Many times, these are things said or overheard in an office by a regular employee, and then used in a lawsuit by a fired employee. There was one lawsuit by a lady who worked for a securities brokerage firm, and she alleged one of the traders would always comment on her “twin towers”.

Substituting a barely oblique reference still begs the question, what purpose is served? Other to offend with his toungue planted firmly in cheek. And fwiw, it's completely irrelevant in a test for arguably the dullest law school class, civil procedure.

If I had to guess, the professor was trying to recreate a real life situation. And as I said above, it is a common set of allegations.

I think that I've mentioned this here before, but when I was still in law school a couple classmates asked me to take them to get polishes on Maxwell St. In mixed company I called them what I'd always heard them and that area referred to

The look of shock by some led me to apologize profusely, certainly until a couple of classmates who could have been insulted started laughing about my embarrassment. I certainly didn't mean to offend and since then I try not to use phrases that may offend. Unless I'm stooping to that level. I just don't get the inartful use by the professor.

see, but when you omit even a reference to what was said, no one has any idea what youre trying to say. I have no idea what they are or the area is referred to that youre speaking about

A guess lecturer (leas hostage negotiator for CPD) once mentioned that if negotiations failed and shots had to be fired, to shoot the women first due to their propensity for high emotion. Many of the women went nuts. I saw the guy a few years later whereupon he said that he never repeated the line in outside lectures. It defeated the purpose.

But he took the words out.

It's always possible someone can be smuggling in offensive language by quoting speech, but if what linguists called quoted (and reported) speech used in this situation offends someone to where they want to ruin a person's life, there's something wrong that.

This is not a language/thought pathway. This is a power play.

He's a teacher. The last time he looked at that test was the first time he taught the class.

we all get gummed up using forms at some point in our life and swear we will update them

There was a time when a man would be embarrassed to admit fear or weakness, reserved only for those moments when the revelation would get him laid.

Only in a world where crime on a massive scale is excused, where one particular race descriptor is capitalized in media style books, where dorms and university functions are segregated but only in a certain way, can we not only get something like "reading 'n____' caused me to have a heart condition", but also have it not relentlessly mocked by all for being so galactically stupid.

If seeing "n_______" makes you have an emotional breakdown, I really don't want you having any power within our legal system.

It is certainly easy to get into Marshall/UIC, and if you wanted to go from Marshall to a white shoe law firm like Winston & Strawn, you're going to have a difficult road. However, I know some fine attorneys that went to Marshall and underestimating someone based on their law school is a foolish thing to do.
