Use your WORDS

I haven't posted here in a while, so I thought I should, if only to prove to some naysayers (or just one in particular) that I can maintain two blogs at a time.

Law school has been busy as usual but not all that interesting. The lay person would probably neither understand, nor care about the content of my daily classes.

However, I will leave you with this

General Public Service Announcement


If you are upset at someone and really want to physically hurt her, you might want to refrain lest you become liable for more than you bargained for.

Unwanted, offensive touching is considered a battery (a kind of tort). But if the person you hurt just happens to have a rare bone disorder that makes her bones so brittle that your slap/kick/punch/etc. actually breaks her bones (even if a light tap would've broken them anyway), you foot the bill for ALL her medical woes.

That is the torts principle of: You take the Plaintiff as you find her (thin-skulled, brittle-boned, and all.)

So remember America: When you are pissed off, be safe, be risk-averse, and just use your WORDS.

Yes, I prefer verbally because it is a lot harder to prove.
