My favorite professor

So, I am nearly finished with law school and I have had a number of fabulous professors. But my favorite professor has been Roger Dworkin. He was my Torts professor first year, and I took Biomedical Advances with him in my second year despite the fact that I wasn't particularly interested in the subject matter. Of course it ended up being an intensely interesting class.

Here is a fuzzy picture of him, taken from his bio page.

While in his classes I wrote down some of the more amusing things he said, in addition to my class notes...These may illustrate to you why I think he is so awesome.

“It is one of the great abominations that we are being encouraged to move our bodies. I attempt to move mine as infrequently as possible.”

“One of the great lines of judicial dishonesty: I’m deferring to the legislature.”

“If all this stuff wasn’t important, it’d be pretty funny.” (Talking about line of abortion cases.)

“I don’t know any question worth asking that has a short answer.”

“I know, an unexamined life isn't worth living. But how many people's lives are worth living?"

“So let’s not get all weepy about democracy without remembering that there are politics involved.”

Mr. Dworkin received a phone call from a transplant doctor who said: “I’ve got a husband that wants to donate his dead wife’s kidney.” Mr. Dworkin responded: “Ok, no problem.” Doctor: “But, the husband killed the wife.” Dworkin: “Oh.”

Dworkin: “Was the contract enforceable?” Student: “No.” Dworkin: “What do you mean when you say no?” Student: “Yes?”

“No man gets weepy about his sperm.”
