The first day of law school in 1969, then-dean Bayless Manning told our assembled class that somehow in the coming three years we would all come “to think like lawyers.” He went on to mention that it was not completely clear what would cause this to happen, but it would.  Sometime during law school, my wife complained about a very rude grocery store checkout clerk. When I told her to look at the situation from the grocery clerk’s point of view, she interrupted me to say: “Can’t you ever stop thinking like a lawyer? All I wanted was sympathy, not analysis.” I think Bayless was on to something.
