The System Works as it Should: Spring Break and Louisiana Expungement Law

Intro

Line: 38 to 36
 In our final meeting with Rosana, a 3L told her that the failure of police officers to process judicial expungement orders can be seen as a "self-correcting mechanism" that informally prevents the illegal expungement of criminal records. By that time, Rosana had sat through a full week of "check-in" meetings wherein the same 3L had repeatedly told her that Expungement Day's objectives were misguided and problematic, from a legal perspective. She responded to his "self-correcting" analysis with a momentary blank stare. She then abruptly ended the meeting and left the office shortly thereafter without saying "goodbye."

When a 1L remarked that Rosana's departure was rude, the aforementioned 3L quipped, "That's why we never drank this place's nasty coffee." When the 1L asked how the 3L knew what the coffee tasted like, the 3L responded, "Whatever."

  • I would have appreciated a clearer understanding of the behavior of the other students in the face of this third-year student's behavior. When these comments were made at the "check-in meetings," were other opinions expressed? Did the students meet among themselves to discuss their work and how to do it? To whom did the students believe themselves accountable--who was the client, who was the supervisor? Was there disagreement on those points, and how were you briefed in New York? What was said by other law students to the third-year who precipitated the break-up after it happened? You could have found fifty words to remove from the description of atmosphere to have put the context where it was needed.
