Dormcest: DOs and DON’Ts

Courtesy Zoozle.com.The walk of shame. The stride of pride. Whatever you call it, word in Gerwirz is it’s happening more and more. 

Don’t worry, 1Ls, I’m not writing to judge you. I know law school goggles have set in, and I agree that your classmate in the sweatpants and highlighter-stained shirt has never looked more appealing. You’ve been working hard these last few months; you deserve someone to share your triumphs, tribulations, and outrageously small bed with. But beware, Gewirz residents, if you don’t follow the time-tested rules of dormcest you won’t have anything left to tell the bar, they’ll already know all about your character and fitness…

  • DO obtain written consent. I don’t care if it’s not in the statute of frauds, a 1L needs to protect themselves.
  • DON’T talk about it afterwards. No one needs to know about the inadequacy of your last partner’s consideration…
  • DON’T pillow talk about your memo. It’s both uninteresting and an honor code violation.
  • DO like Palsgraf and make that package explode.

Go forth and multiply, little 1Ls.

P.S. See the following video for helpful tips on drafting your consent agreement.
