Torts

Not a cake.

I didn't do badly but I didn't do well, either. But it's over and the whining will cease.

Stand by for Property whining to commence shortly. (Last one! I promise!)

But you finished!!! :-) And it's done! Yay!

Any obscure old english cases used?

[smittywing]

Yay! Only one more!

No obscure old english cases. :) We had to comment on a quote by Judge Friendly and I talked about B
Ploof v. Putnam and Vincent v. Lake Erie were compatible, whether pro tanto or share reduction was more fair and why, and the proposition in Kline v. 1500 Massachussetts Ave.

Haha, I should have put spaces in my B < PL equation.

Were the questions as bad as you thought they might be?

Ah, property. To this day (I'm a 3L), the phrase "rule against perpetuities" gives me the heebie-geebies.

[smittywing]

Ha, when we were beginning our econ exam (econ was kind of a throwaway class) our professor goes, "After this exam, it's all a piece of cake. The rule against perpetuties is the most intuitive thing ever!"

Earlier law school whining entries have bitched that I can't even spell RAP let alone explain it. (Also, my dad insists that it's still in use in Delaware and I think he just means that there are rules in place to prevent perpetuities, not that the actual "life plus 21 years" thing is still calculated. I hope.)

I was just telling Annie, these are the questions we got:

We had to comment on a quote by Judge Friendly and I talked about B < PL but not about foreseeability which...oops. That was the big question. Then we got two intentional tort questions (assault and a defense against battery), whether Ploof v. Putnam and Vincent v. Lake Erie were compatible, whether pro tanto or share reduction was more fair and why, and the proposition in Kline v. 1500 Massachussetts Ave

Apparently, RAP is still in effect, though exactly how much is a matter of debate. BUT, on the plus side, in my Professional Responsbility class, we talked about a case where a guy was sued over a will that ran afoul of RAP. But the court basicly said that since no one really understands RAP anyway, it wasn't a violation of professional standards.

I have received the book, btw! Thank you. :) I forgot what we were talking about when you decided I needed to read it, so I read the back and just the summary had me cracking up.

So in trade...you finished season 2 but not 3, yes?
