Scenes with Professor Stromwell
3 scenes Professor Stromwell Professor Stromwell A legal education means you will learn to speak in a new language. You will be taught to achieve insight into the world around you. And to sharply question what you know.
Professor Stromwell [writing on the board]: "Law is reason, free from passion." Does anyone know who wrote those immortal words?
David [raising his hand]: Aristotle.
Professor Stromwell [approaching him]: Are you sure?
David
Yes.
Professor Stromwell Would you be willing to stake your life on that?
David [thoughtful pause]: I think so.
Professor Stromwell And what about...[pokes random student with her pointer] his life?
David [nervously]: I...I don't know.
Professor Stromwell I recommend knowing before speaking. The law leaves much room for interpretation, but very little room for self-doubt. [faint smile] And you were right. It was Aristotle.
