What law school is like

I sent my mom an email with details about what I'm actually doing in law school, and realized it might be interesting to other people. And if you're already bored, just skip over this post.

My three core classes are property, torts, and civ pro, and I prefer them in that order.

Elliff, dealing with property and oil well blowup http://lawschool.courtroomview.com/acf_cases/8958-elliff-v-texon-drilling-co-

Hymowitz, which I read tonight for torts, dealing with combining multiple drug company defendants who marketed DES before it was known to cause birth defects http://www.4lawnotes.com/showthread.php?t=1018 (easy to read brief, not a case)

Daynard, which I covered in civ pro (civil procedure, having to do with the proper way of filing a case, making motions) is really neat. Basically a NUSL professor was one of the top advisers during the 90's to a lot of suits against tobacco companies. When the suits were finished, they didn't pay him his cut which had been agreed to with a handshake and not a signed contract. He sued and won. It's a lot more complicated but that's a quick version. With some of the money he established a visiting scholar program and one is at school this week.
