The privilege a [law student] asks for so that he is not called on in class for the day. A student may give either an excuse or a justification for this request, preferably by email ahead of time, or in person right before class. The term is called [Socratic] immunity because most professors in law school use the [Socratic method] of teaching, grilling a student with questions for ten minutes of class or more.
