   THE   OL' PERFESSER'S GUIDE FOR THE FIRST-YEAR
                        LAW   STUDENT

                    Douglas  R. Heidenreicht

                           Introduction

     This is a guide for the first-year law student at William Mitchell
College of Law  (WMCL)   who  has the fortune or misfortune to be
assigned to a section for which I am the Contracts professor. It is
not meant  to speak for any  other professor at this law school or
elsewhere; it reflects my personal quirks and peccadillos. Much of
this may seem  strange to some  of you, but I assure you that it is
serious in that you  should follow the advice that I give in this
monograph.
     When  you are in a class that I am teaching, writing an exam
paper for me, or dealing with me in person or by any other form of
communication,   remember  this stuff and follow the advice. On the
other hand, don't assume  that other professors prefer that you act
or talk in a way that might be appropriate when dealing with me.
Here  is my first bit of advice.
     Advice: Follow the instructions and take the advice of each
professor; tailor your approach   accordingly. Each  of us has  a
different idea about what is the best way to do things. When you are
dealing with Professor A, as far as you are concerned, what she has
said is correct; if that differs from what Professor B has told you, for
purposes  of dealing with Professor A, Professor B is wrong-and
vice versa. Note, however,  the occasional exception  mentioned
below.



    t  Professor Doug Heidenreich, a native of St. Paul, Minnesota, received a
BA from the University of Minnesota in 1953. After service in the U.S. Army and
some desultory employment, he graduated from William Mitchell College of Law
in 1961. Following a brief, undistinguished period in practice, he returned to his
alma mater where he has spent the last fifty-one years as a member of the full-time
faculty, eleven of these years (1964-1975) being as dean of the institution. On
June 30, 2014, he will become a Professor Manqu6.
