“So, pretty basic question guys, the three elements of contract are offer, acceptance and…?” After five minutes of silence, Professor Freedman (56) continued defeatedly, “Consideration. Slow morning team haha.”

Student’s in this morning’s Law of Civil Procedure class have reported that familiar, horriblly awkard feeling of a class where no one speaks except the teacher.

Professor Freedman reportedly had a one man dialogue for the entire two hour duration of the class and was heard muttering to himself “I guess I’ll answer this one” and “Come on guys.”

The Obiter interviewed a number of the students present.

Cassie Turner (21) said, “Yeah look it is that point of the semester isn’t it. There was no chance I knew the answer to a single question so I just spent most of the class online shopping and reading excerpts from the new Britney Spears book.”

Glorp Gostro The Destroyer of Worlds (32456), who was sitting towards the back of the class, said “I am a being of pure hatred and evil and I will end you and your puny civilisation stop asking me questions tiny man you will not exist for much longer!”

Thanks Glorp.

The Obiter caught up with Professor Freedman at the Redroom later that day because, fuck it, Law Professor’s can have beers too.

“Yeah look I hated that. If it wasn’t for the occasional well prepared nerd, my entire job would be talking to myself.”

He continued.

“I don’t know what has happened but students are incredibly reticant to engage in seminars. I think they’ve gotten dumber. Personally, I blame TikTok.”

No more to come.
