This was unreal. This asian guy strolls into the exam room carrying what was about a four feet by two feet poster board with photo copied pages of notes glued on to the thing. Some of them looked like pages from the FRCP. Sits in a row by himself, and then spreads out two more, smaller posters. Then, he brings out a three ring binder which must have had 200 or so pages of notes in it. I didn't notice if he ever used them during the exam, but even if he did, it would have been awkward as hell. This was a three hour, mostly multiple choice civ pro final. We didn't even cover joinder or erie in the class. I have no idea what was on all this shit.
It wasn't like the prof gave us some one page of notes rule or something. You could bring in whatever you wanted, and everyone else was fine just flipping through the book. Crazy asians.
a prof of mine said he used to do this to freak people out when he was a student. He'd bring in like ten hornbooks and treatises and stack them up around himself. Never touch them.

I've heard of this as well but I don't understand how it's supposed to intimidate people. When I see someone pull out a giant book my first thought is that they are going to get PWN3D if they try to look anything up.
