You know law school has utterly ruined you when... 

.....you find things like this funny.

The infamous FRCP quiz, as brought to my attention by JCA. Collectively, I think my civ pro section wasted a good 19 1/2 hours on this thing. Even Professor Civ Pro got in on the action (somewhat surprisingly as a Rule 11). As for me:

YOU ARE RULE 8(a)!

You are Rule 8, the most laid back of all the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. While your
forefather in the Federal Rules may have been a
stickler for details and particularity, you
have clearly rebelled by being pleasant and
easy-going. Rule 8 only requires that a
plaintiff provide a short and plain statement
of a claim on which a court can grant relief.
While there is much to be lauded in your
approach, your good nature sometimes gets you
in trouble, and you often have to rely on your
good friend, Rule 56, to bail you out.


Which Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Are You?

At least I wasn't that "obnoxious" Rule 12(b). I've got tons of reading to do...I wonder if there's a UCC quiz out there...
