[quote=Anonymous]If I am ever in need of an attorney, you can bet I won’t go to an attorney who needed to postpone his/her final exam due to being traumatized by the Ferguson and NY grand jury verdicts.  These are people preparing to be ..... LAWYERS!  If these little snowflakes think it’s tough to make it through exams because of the outcome of a grand jury, how in hell are they going to survive arguing a case in an actual courtroom?  This is absolutely ludicrous.  Way to prepare these fragile little darlings for the real world, Columbia, Harvard, and Georgetown!

[quote]Columbia Law School has agreed to delay final exams for students who face "trauma" and disillusionment following two recent, racially-charged cases in which grand juries declined to indict white police officers in the deaths of unarmed black men. And now, students at Harvard and Georgetown want the same dispensation, also saying they just can't face their tests in the wake of the grand jury decisions in Missouri and New York.
A "trauma specialist" will also meet with students at the campus this week. The University of California-Irvine offered students a similar counseling last week to help with "healing, grieving and support."

In addition to Columbia, law school students at Harvard and Georgetown are apparently equally dismayed by the non-indictments and are reportedly asking for similar accommodations[/quote]
