LLMs on a mission; Censorship at Osgoode Hall?

You may be wondering why in your classes, numerous LLMs have either approached your professor after class, or have been called down to speak with him/her during the break or after the lecture. Hearsay has it on good authority that these LLMs are approaching every professor asking him/her to provide a 24-48 hour take home option instead of writing the exam with the rest of the JDs. It worked with one, so now they’re trying it on all. Now there is nothing wrong with taking home an exam, in fact, I know many folks who would prefer it, but it does irk Hearsay when this is an option available only to LLMs and not their JD counterparts.

Also, you may have heard about the child luring allegations against Osgoode Hall’s (assuming former) libarian, featured recently in The Star. Now, it is not surprising that people would start thinking of (tasteful) jokes related to the incident to include in their next legal follies, but unfortunately, sources tell Hearsay that Osgoode administration are overseeing this year’s project and will keep a close eye on any potential Pengelly jokes. Hopefully that kind of big brother oversight doesn’t occur here at UofT, child luring jokes aside, otherwise, it won’t be long before Hearsay catches wind.

Hearsay and her friends at BT would like to extend their best wishes to a November 24th birthday girl!

We appreciate both the positive and negative reviews of the site so far, public or otherwise.

Till the next scoop,

Hearsay.

If the LLMs get it, more power to them. THey are not competing against JD students. So why should it matter?

Would the LLMs grades affect the curve that the JDs are subjected to? If so, it's unfair that they get the take home option while the JDs don't
