Portrait of the Law (in Casebook quotes)
"What we are looking for is a validating life."
"Felonious killing, like joint tenancy, often occurs between parties who are married or related. "
"I respectfully believe [said judge's] highly scholastic analysis suffers from a preoccupation with subtlety and is divorced from the real street world...Only a person trained in an American law school under the Socratic method could postulate the formal but fanciful freeze-frame distinctions that animate [this] conclusion .."
"The issue is, what is chicken?"
"Theories matter."
