Round 4



"The groans, ineffably and mournfully sad, of Davies' dying donkey, have resounded around the earth. The last lingering gaze from the soft, mild eyes of this docile animal, like the last parting sunbeams of the softest day in spring, has appealed to and touched the hearts of men. There has girdled the globe a band of sympathy for Davies' immortal “critter.” Its ghost, like Banquo's ghost, will not down at the behests of the people who are charged with inflicting injuries, nor can its groanings be silenced by the rantings and excoriations of carping critics. The law as enunciated in that case has come to stay." 56 So. 783.

The above is both a perfect reason to love and despise torts. Seriously, it's from an actual case.

Last exam, the end of the first semester is nigh. I can trim my NHL playoff beard. If you need to contact me between 5:00 PM on Thursday, December 18 and mid January, probably just check at the nearest bar.
