Yes. On one exam there was a ten percent multiple choise section. It was an homage to the multi-state.

I always had them, and it goes w/o saying that both Penske and I went to better law schools than Shape Shifter/

What's interesting is that I was witness to a similar situation but one where the amoral imperative was acted upon.

In LS, first year, after the exam ended and while there was a bum rush on the proctor, a certain ne'er do well asked another student the answers to a couple of the multiple choice questions (there were 10 and they were each 1% of the exam score). Another student saw them and reluctantly but in compliance with the honour code turned them in. That student also noted another witness. The witness was well regarded by the faculty (for reasons unknown, other than he was a prominent liberal activist) and was a friend of the cheater. When that witness was confronted by Faculty, he lied and said nothing happened and that he witnessed the innocent behaviour of the accused.

The result, the cheater ended up near the top of the class. The lying liberal become class president and the kid who reluctantly followed the honour code was a social outkast.

eta: [this is outable, so if you recognize the fact pattern, ix-nay, ix-nay, ee-day el-lay. ee-day el-lay.]

Been there several times, in various non LS contexts. Only the lowest of the low turns a person in... You never know when you might need to cheat and need the favor repaid. I learned that around fourth grade.

BTW, whats this about an honor code in law school? Isn't that a little like Omerta? I wish I could have cheated in law school, because there's no more appropriate place to do it on earth. Cheating, fucking around with rules and screwing people out of shit they deserve is basically what I've been doing for the last near decade.

My senior year in highschool, I was trying to decide which college to go to. The headmaster told me to go talk to one of the teachers who had gone to school in Colorado. This teacher (I had never been in one of his classes) told me the best thing about going to school in Colorado was that you could get great shrooms all year around. He didn't know me from Adam and he broached the subject of the Shrooms. I did not ask him.

I guess some kid overheard him telling me this and reported it to the headmaster. They brought me in for questioning. The kid that made the report had a dubious reputation where I had a sterling one. I looked him right in the eye and told the headmaster that the teacher never broached the subject of drugs. I swore up and down and said that if anything happened to him it would be huge miscarriage of justice.

They decided the slimey kid was lying. That is when I learned that not only is it OK to lie somtimes, sometimes lying is a moral imperative.

Sherman Fucking McCoy... But how were the shrooms????

Generally speaking, other than under oath, a lie has to work better than the truth, however I felt sorry for the narc. He was an okay guy. the cheater was sort of an arsehole, and the lying witness was a commie. The results didn't seem particularly just.

I went to a college with a full honor code. You could take your exams in your dorm room if you wanted to (with the door closed). It never occurred to me to cheat. I never saw anyone cheat and I never heard about anyone cheating.

In high school they watched us like hawks. All sorts of people cheated. I thought about cheating, but never had the nerve. My conclusion is that cheating is caused more by a thrill of beating the system that it is in getting better grades.

But you also have, in a serious honor code school, the positive incentive of doing something because it is the right thing to do and because everyone takes it seriously (and actual scorn for people who violate it). Yes, I believe that and still became a lawyer.

I think I had a property class that had a mulitple choice exam. Covered the rule against perpetuities etc.
