"Had it been it was my school you called for your script, I am sure you would not go to law school by now.
I had same issue with Law of Torts wherein I was given E, mhee E, I wrote letters to the dean to see that script from 300lvl until I got to final year oo, not less than 5 letters. Mind you I was the class governor all this while, the lecturers involved frustrated every effort at recalling that script."
