Worst Interview Question... EVER!

I've been traveling the East Coast trying to fit three federal clerkship interviews into two days. In my first interview came the worst question I have ever been asked:

"What is the worst case you read last semester and why?"

I couldn't answer that I have not read a case since October of my first year, but my real answer would have been the worst case I have read would be the Nutshells, they are so small. I prefer the Understanding series or the High Court Case Summaries.

Ultimately, I went with Carroll Towing because it was the only case name I could remember other than Pennoyer or Int'l Shoe and it's progeny. How can you criticize the latter two?

Also, watching a replay of The Office as I type this, Michael Scott just said my fourth favorite line on the show, "If you don't get no respect, you might be a redneck."

I was aware of your "reading habits" before, but have you ACTUALLY not read a case in almost two full years? Srsly guys. Srsly.

Honestly, the last full case I read was two days before the Halloween party in Contracts first year. I kid you not.

I'm either pathetic or efficient.

I've read plenty of cases. Right after the professor said, what did the court hold in this case, Senor . . . El Guapo?
