laptop in class?

I think like 95% of law students use laptops. I had one professor last year who didn't allow them because he thinks they are a distraction. He is right.

By my estimates, on average >90% have an IM open, and 40-50% are doing something other than following along with the prof.

One of my prof's has actually resorted to requesting that laptops be closed during a certain part of each class.
