Another sub-par episode as the series limps to the end.
planktonrules7 June 2018
After years of seeing and hearing from Zeiss (Wortham Krimmer) as if he's just another nameless law student on the show, he finally gets his own episode. Now that you get to learn more about him, you realize that he's a bit of a twit! As he nears graduation, he's upset that he's NOT been awarded honors and very, very narrowly missed out. Now considering he's graduating from one of the top law schools and was on Law Review, you'd think he'd be happy enough....but then again, you suppose the insane drive and self-absorption is what got him to this top law school in the first place! After appealing to Kingsfield and getting no where, he decides to take the insane step of suing the law school! Does he even have a prayer? And, if he should win, will he find it's all for nothing and no one would want to hire a 'trouble-maker'?

As far as this episode goes, it isn't a particularly good one. There are a couple strikes against it--you really DON'T care about Zeiss or his predicament and the whole thing seems a bit absurd....imagine, suing a law school! But considering that several of the latter episodes are just terrible, at least it's watchable and reasonably enjoyable. Not exactly a glowing endorsement, I know.

I'm not so sure Zeiss wasn't shafted

I remember this episode, and I also recall that professors don't grade recitations in class (at least, I've never known any that did). So why does Kingsfield (you're probably thinking, Because he's Kingsfield) do it? Anywhere else, Zeiss would more than likely have graduated with honors. I also felt the hearing was stacked against him. I was never really fond of Zeiss, but fair is fair--and I think what happened to him was unfair.
