Dear JD2B
Crazy Study Partner

I'm a 1L and there's a girl in one of my study sessions who is a total know it all. She has always rubbed me the wrong way, and I've never found her especially smart or intuitive, but it's just come to light that this is her SECOND year as a 1L...that's right, she FLUNKED out last year. She's always on her high horse and monopolizes our study sessions and now it's perfectly clear she's no expert. What do I do?

Dear Annoyed 1L,

There's always one of those it seems. Well, it's always best to handle things tactfully, especially in the conservative environment of law schools. Try and firmly stand your ground if she disputes an argument of yours, and trust your gut about her opinions. If she seems to be messing up the study sessions and you and your fellow 1ls aren't getting the appropriate amount of studying and information exchanges in the meetings, encourage others to stand up to her as well.
