- Probably one of the funniest chapters i found on the DVD "All About Law School." This is the first ever documentary feature film made about the law school experience. It is entertaining to watch while teaching practical lessons about the first year process. The film features real life testimonials from law students across first tier, second tier, third tier and fourth tier law schools.
The DVD covers topics like undergraduate major, racehorse exams, reading case law, exam preparation, corporate job markets, outlines, checklists, law professors, law school competition and grades, exam strategies, gunners, typing in class, taking time off, picking a law school, issuespotter exams, the socratic method, IRAC analysis, The mental and social life aspects of studying law and much more. Its a funny, informative and practical look at the incredible world of law school
This particular chapter is all about gunners in the law school class room. If you've ever sat in a law school class, you know exactly who these students are. Check it out and don't forget to comment on your experience with gunners in the law school class room! Please visit our site, AllAboutLawSchool.com and check out the testimonials about our DVD.

Of course I'm not gonna shut up in law school
It simply boils down to everyone having their fair chance to participate in class.
I am going to PEE MY PANTS next semester in law school when I notice that someone is a Gunner.
The trouble is that some are confident, and interested in their subject and some are not or are there to gossip and pose and not to learn. Gunners - in any field - are there because that's their learning style, and TBH, they didn't got to law school to make friends. They went to get a friggin' law degree.
Yes. And law school is full of them. Especially the ones who sit in the back, don't prepare for class, and spend thousands of dollars of tuition time gossiping about which student is doing which professor and what people are wearing.
Remember the only thing that matters is your performance on the final exam, not the one in class. Trust me, I was lost most of the time in my Civ Pro class and still got a B+.
I would have never gone to class if they didn't penalize for absences...
Holy shit this is so true.
Im just in community college studying biology and chemistry and we have one of these gunners.
She just wastes the teachers and our time with pointless discussions about the environment every class.
- If by your first semester you dont know who the gunner is it's probably you.
This made me lol :)
I find that the quieter you are, the more impact your words have when you use them.
I think what they are saying here is that it is ok to learn by discussing but give other people a chance and don't wast everyone's time by taking the class down the road of possible every argument.
Learning = OK
Verbal Class Domination = Not OK
So should I feel bad if today I got cold called and the proff ripped me apart? I read the cases and know the blackletter law but he just tore me apart on the details of the case, it was pretty embarassing and some kids in back were snickering, others looking at me like I'm dumb
Part of it is breaking up the class so one doesn't grow dull. Without breaking up the class and finding different perspectives students may suffer in the long run.
being a gunner is my hobbie
I really found this DVD quite helpful. I would highly recommend it for anyone seeking some sort of edge in their legal studies. Admittedly, there are no shortcuts to doing well in law school. But this DVD was full of inspiring tips as well as practical strategies on exam taking. If anything, their mistake was pricing it so low b/c it diminishes the perceived value of the DVD. Having been a business major, that is my only criticism.
Bobby Hundreds cameo!
heh. Enjoy your peergroup. You'll be the only one in it.
@greg5566 : Perhaps there's a miscommunication going on here. Intelligent commentary is all well and good. It helps advance the class discussion so that that professor can further his or her point. What annoys people is one of two things. One, the person who always raises their hand and takes the professor on a tangent, or two, the person who raises their hand every three seconds while reading from their commercial outline who ultimately turns out to be one of the worst students after exams.
If I was in law school I would be a gunner. :D
psst....I'm one of the quiet ones.
If you don't like being in a participatory class, might I suggest an online JD like Abe Lincoln School of Law?
Sorry to butt in on the conversation, but how can you say "many people hate anyone who talks because it makes them look bad" when grades are only dependent on the exams?
My assumption is that most law students don't care how intelligent they look as long as the A's come out while the money goes in. The same applies to any form of collegiate education. Bravo to the silent man who gets A's, and ditto to the know-it-all that gets A's.
they are saying shut it. youre doing it, what they said not to do.
Well this is pretty terrible for a number of reasons, because A.) Sometimes a prof asks a question and there's absolute silence. B.) If you don't know what the fuck you're talking about when put on the spot but somehow manage to apply something to a test...that doesn't make you smart either. That just means that you remembered your outline for four hours at 8 AM on a Monday. It's okay to ask questions if you don't understand something and if the professor asks a question it's okay to answer.
lol no matter how much you study in law school you'll never turn into a medical student.
Briliant in law school? lol
What if participation is part of your grade? In my Con Law class, 5 points gets awarded to the final exam (worth ~100 points) for the most active participant in class. Does this promote the gunner in all of us?
these people sound so insecure, "...please don't answer the professors questions, cause I don't want feel stupid..." of course dominating the class is not O.K., but neither is dumbing yourself down. Didn't we do that in high school?! Have any of these people heard of the Socratic method. My undergrad. was an expensive Jesuit private school, an exchange between professor and student was expected. If you want sit there, invisible, listening to a lecture for hours, go to a state law school.
@walsead I beg to differ, Mister. And get anger management classes to help with your issues.
I think these people are not talking about regular gunners but some next-level gunners. Speaking 4 to 5 times in an hour can not be that bad, but if it is literally for 5 min at a time then it is far from a regular question or answer. 5 min is more than a regular Toastmasters speech.
When they say these gunners exist in EVERY class, I take that as an exaggeration. We tend to generalize according to our limited experiences. (I mean, when we say, "Everybody does this...," "everybody knows..," how many people does that actually entail? 2?)
@DEConnoisseur right
I don't know. I went to a Socratic college (St. John's College, MD) and the whole point of the school was to encourage people to respond to the work. You were mostly graded by your level of vocal response to the material. There were definitely people who spoke at length for the two hour classes and sure it was annoying, but it made the rest of the class step up. No one got anywhere by moaning and backbiting.
Answering all the questions is being a gunner???
I guess that I'm the undergrad gunner , but I always thought I was taking one for the team ,doing my coeds a favor since most of them did not know the answers and the professor was going to start calling out names and most would end embarrass ,piss and looking at me like I was to blame for not stopping him.
You are damn if you do , and damn if you don't. You and everyone else will probably end with the same doubt.
@walsead don't exaggerate. you aren't paying hundreds per class and your ruminations aren't interesting me either
Attorneys are scum. Greedy scum.
Oh my god , i mean OH MY GOD . First they start with a label " Gunner " . Labeling your fellow classmates with a hate label . Well isnt that great ? . Second : i have yet to hear a reasonable argument as to why should one not contribute to the class as much as posible. I mean what do you want ? Do you want the teacher to start begging you to talk ? How stupid these bunch of kids are. Even though some might find it annoying , you know what ? IF its such a bother LEAVE CLASS or also start talking!
i believe there should be a balance,raping your gobs and going off topic is completely some thing no one wants to bear with.if you are really intelligent, great! show it somewhere else >.> however if you cannot understand something or really need to ask an important question or clarify something, then do it right away, others be damned! gunning is bad but participation in class is important if you need to get your doubts cleared without needing after classes. after all you are paying for it!
That blond chick has huge shoulders. Weird.
What Happened? Once upon a time I was told the only STUPID Question is the one you don't ask! Anybody. Anybody?
@redSHIFT69 I am many things including a man not impressed by the comments posted by the alleged medic he is interlocuting with right now
The participants in this video are such an annoying mix between self-righteousness and obnoxiousness that I think I might even prefer listening to the Gunners in their class!
Come on, hand-raising and asking questions is good, and doesn't make a gunner. A gunner asks a question to which they already know the answer, which is a waste of time. But people who ask questions are just getting their money's worth. This series is a bigger waste of time than the gunners.
@KurdishHypercurve
1. i'm a medical student
2. if you want to be lawyer, you should be an astrophysicist and study the laws of nature. oh wait. most law students can barely add and subtract.
This is just loads of bull crap~~~
