I am busy with my criminal takehome exam at the moment, so in lieu of content, here are links. All universities are biased in their hiring procedures! This is quite likely the least probable news headline in some time. In case you were wondering, Alan Keyes is still batshit insane. Five possible plotlines for Arrested […]

There is a case, universally known to all law school students, called Carlill v. Carbolic Smoke Ball, which is a case that absolutely every introductory contracts teacher uses for two reasons: 1.) It’s a good example of a case that shows how to distinguish an offer from an invitation to treat, and also sets the […]

I should really be summarizing Asamera Oil Corp. Ltd. v. Sea Oil and General Corp. right now (it’s as fascinating as you think it is), but… Mark Kleiman has a point about the imagination requirement for toys steadily dropping, although I’m not sure how grounded it is; after all, interactive talking toys have been practically […]

Why, it’s almost as if Disney is an enormous corporation with a vested interest in maximizing its intellectual property rights and getting public opinion on its side! I, personally, am waiting for the day when Batman beats up a nest of […]
