Earlier this month, we posted an open thread on the law school gunner. It generated a spirited discussion -- perhaps too spirited -- and we
eventually closed it to new comments. We're going to try this again. Here's another open thread to share your gunner stories. But please keep
the discourse civil, and please don't call ... status said "[his name] is exploiting situations like Geraldo Rivera" after he spread the word about what was supposedly on the test

... and is pressing charges. But here's the best part: Thanks to a reader for sending us the video, so you can see Stark get thrown to the ground and pinned against a wall. It's pretty
awesome, especially because Stark is a pretty well-known gunner. We'll see if he's a little quieter this week. Or in class at all. Well, at
least Stark didn't get his ass arrested. Because federal judges don't look kindly upon clerkship applicants with criminal records. You can read more about the whole incident at ...

The gunner has returned to this week's episode of Con Law with all her obnoxious shouting and hand waving. After three hours of hearing her
shout out the answers last night (or at least mutter them loudly enough that we - three rows back - can hear...

We have a woman in my Con Law II class who isn't quite a gunner, but I'm not sure what else to call her? She's definitely non-traditional, but
not like me exactly. She's probably ten years older than me, has grown children, and talks with a nasal...

The latest issue of the Arizona State Law Journal (Volume 40, Issue 4, Winter 2008) just crossed my desk and the Essay by Robert M. Lloyd "Why Every Law Student Should Be a
Gunner" caught my eye. Professor Lloyd lists six reasons why students should speak up in class, and I couldn't agree with him [...]

that of ordinary mortals. I have waited, all semester, to feel the thrill of eye contact in a crowded classroom, that jolt of electricity when I asked a question that makes her search
the vast library catalog in her head for the answer. The moment when she would realize that I, I above all students, was her ...

We owe that quip to our tipster. Said correspondent pointed out to us that Jordan Schwartz, a rising 3L at GW Law and summer associate at Skadden, was among the first people to pick up
an application for a D.C. handgun license yesterday. Schwartz is quoted in several stories covering the event (links collected below). Here's the article from the Washington Times:
Among the roughly half-dozen residents who arrived early Thursday was Jordan Schwartz, a 23-year-old law student at George Washington ...

just modern day ass-kissers. Because I was a tiny bit gunnish in my day, I will not comment. New Kid has been one of my favorite bloggers since forever ( ...

... these people for the rest of the year. I have found that there are 3 basic types of study groups: the Gunner's Paradise, the Talkers, and
the Casuals. The Gunners Paradise is the group that is formed in the 2nd week of classes, it's mostly inhabited by the intense gunner-type students who will either make you pull your hair out in frustration or who you will respect because they are as "committed" as you are. The
Talkers is a group that is larger than the normal 3-5 person size of most study ...
