Professor Kleinberger appointed Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor

Snivelsome Oldbean, The Stool
William Mitchell proudly announced yesterday that Professor Kleinberger has accepted the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts, a class recently added to the law school’s curriculum. William Mitchell is including the course as part of its ongoing integration of classes that are of dubious utility and founded on fiction.

“It’s a real honor, even though the position has been historically cursed,” said Kleinberger. “I’m happy to finally be able to proudly display my wizarding heritage, rather than resorting to all of this secrecy and references to Shrek.” Kleinberger added, “lawyers, of all people, really need to learn to defend themselves against curses. This class will give our students a much needed edge."

With that, he waved a short wooden stick at us and yelled "expelleramus!" When nothing happened, he scrambled under his desk and politely asked us to leave.
