Today I made a discovery about an apparent misconception that I've had since starting law school. I always thought that the loud people in the library were 1Ls - those without a clear understanding of law school etiquette and hierarchy, who had no basis for understanding their volume level. And I have been wrong this whole time! The loud people in the library are actually 3Ls - they don't really care that much about reading for their classes, but they're sort of in the habit of being in the library, and the bar exam isn't close enough yet for them to actually be preparing. I'm not yet sure what to do with this new found knowledge, as it stretches my sense of law school etiquette and hierarchy to glare mercilessly at a bunch of 3Ls. More to follow, and I promise it will be sooner than last time.

The 3Ls at my school tend to be the loudest too. My SBA president jokingly said 3Ls pull rank so they can pretty much do what they want to do
Ooooh yeah. Some 3Ls become giant, inconsiderate jerks. Others get lives...
At my law library it's the undergrads who sneak in to bask in the brilliance of the "adult" library. (Why did that sound dirty?) They spend there time gossiping, texting, and bending over so everyone can see their thongs sticking out, while pretending to ignore the glares people actually studying are shooting them. Geez.
