Rule #2

Rule #2 of law school

Let there be moderatione in thy excitemente over knowledge apprehended in private studye.

In other words, in the midst of your monastic seclusion studying cases for the next day, you may be susceptible to great moments of self-fulfillment and joy, thinking to yourself, "Ha ha! I get it!" Beware because when you gleefully engage in discussion or listen to lecture on your supposed knowledge the next day, you may find the professor's understanding is vastly different, nay, exactly opposite to the profound revelation you experienced while studying in seclusion the day before.

Rejoice and be encouraged by thy intellectual zeniths, but be thou humble.
