Damnum Absgue Injuria (Unedited)
Damnum Absgue Injuria
Literally means "damages without injury".
In Law School, you will meet all kinds of professors but one common denominator among all of them is that they are all power trippers (from the most subtle form to the harshest devil). It is an irony that the place where you study the law, reasonableness of things and the Constitution is the same place of lawlessness, irrationality and unconstitutionality. It is the place of lawlessness because the "law of Law School" is primarily placed on the hands of the professors. It is the place of irrationality because the "laws of the Law School" are whims and caprices that amount to, as Rule 65 of the Rules of Court puts it, grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction. Lastly, it is the only place of the land where unconstitutional acts of intentional deprivation of happiness, which the Constitution guarantees to every citizen, are allowed. In other words, Law School is place where the Constitution does not apply; and, hence, it cannot be invoked. I am wondering if Law school is even part of the "civilized society" which is the end goal of every Social Contract - one of the underlying principles behind the existence of every State. Is it even part of the State? I think the answer is in the negative.
Sadly, the professors are the law student’s gods in Law School. They are all-controlling and they love to control. Power trippers and control freaks, the student are reduced to mere robots, the remote-control being in the hands of the professors. Reason will not be used to defend oneself but it will be used only to support a forced understanding of the professors’ behavior and all-controlling attitude. The effects on the student will be sleepless nights or nightmares instead. This is because the fear or the trauma that these professors impart with the students shall remain for a long time in the psyche of the student. Are these even necessary to learning? Are these even helpful? Of course, not! Gone are the days of stupidity, false humility and blind obedience of the students.
However, this has been the practice which all law students hope in their hearts will be eradicated soon as the time of the twilight of the gods come. This is a simple yet unallowable injustice! It is a case of damnum absgue injuria because the student is still not courageous enough to stand for his rights.
Why do we even have to absorb all these negativities?
