Tell me what I'm doing here

I'm stating to think I don't understand lawschool at all. The longer I'm at this gig, the less I understand it. For example, I just waded through another exam and walked out muttering to myself "WTF?"

The first question was relatively straightforward, for an issue with 11 subparts. Ugh. I completely ran out of time and had to leave the last, open ended subpart completely blank. I'm not sure I could have cogently framed an answer for it anyhow. At least I realized that I'd misanswered one of the subparts and went back and fixed it.

The second question was supposed to require some policy considerations, but I didn't see where that was applicable. I saw a proposed contract with some clauses that were unfair at best. I wrote what I thought better fixes were. Ugh. Was that right? I have no idea.

The last question was pure policy. Ok, I can live with that. I gave my answer, I hope it was a good one, especially since I jettisoned my first answer and gave another one that seemed stronger, although in retrospect, it requires telling a judge how to do her job, maybe not such a good move.


Well... if experience is reliable, I do better on the exams I walk out of going WTF, so maybe I did okay.

UPDATE:

Thank you, Boss, for reminding me all about the UCCJEA and calculating a child's home, blah blah blah. I forgot all about that. D'oh!
