Shut-eye

My eye lids are getting heavy from all this reading. I've read well over 1000 pages of case law this past week trying to prepare for finals. The case book authors tend to find the most interesting cases available to spark interest in particular subjects. So it's not nearly as painful as it sounds. Topics range from legalized usage of marijuana, to gun toting rednecks, to trademarks for condoms, to trademark infringement in the porn industry, to spreading of venereal diseases, to landlords and tenants kicking each other's ass, to incestual relationships, to bastard children, to trafficking cocaine, to lavish parties, and to many other random topics. That's why law school is so much better than engineering. Assaults and batteries just don't occur that often in the derivation of mathematical equations.

As one attorney stated to me, it's not that often that you can write a paper about a man shaking his penis at a prison guard and be expected to provide the details.
