What's up with those "Ivy League" liberal progressive, elitist law students? They are all so traumatised over the Ferguson and New York police shootings that they are now filing petitions to the Harvard Law School so they can delay their final exams. Apparently Harvard law minority students cannot study due to participation in street demonstrations and the like which is their free speech rights to protest. They are so emotionally upset they could not study too and need more time now to cram for final exams. Even some have petitioned that since their exams were taken during that period were low scores, they need a second chance to retake them too. ...Saay whaat??

Harvard University has already stated that they will accept requests by students filing exam continuances for those otherwise "special circumstances" exemptions established for exceptional family emergencies and personal distress; hardly seems fair to the legitimate petitioners and remaining student body who studied that those distant weak related reasons can be filed too.  

Can these wannabe lawyers get a "free pass" in courts like in Harvard Law School? Will they demand that any presiding judge allow a "time-out" when events outside the purview of the court activities is too disturbing for the attorney? I believe that a judge's "judicial activism" is appropriate here--a swift gavel ruling in keeping on task or suffer real-life courtroom levies and penalties. 

I would not like to be that client with my councilor's cry-baby, wah-wah, poor-me, adult-child mentality when his unrelenting pressures with multiple distractions affect the outcome of my life or death verdict.
