 Deer in the Headlights: Brooks, after Kingsfield asks him to analyze a hypothetical case. Brooks was relying on his photographic memory to remember the answers, but of course that does no good when being asked to analyze a case not found in the text. Brooks realizes he's hopelessly overmatched, leading to his downward spiral.
