Monday morning is the most difficult time to find a seat at the library. I found the last desk on the third floor. Everyone is back at it in full force.
I know I do not have a new post for you today. I guess it is just that time of the semester when things start to get full, or bloated, and since I get to be supreme court on my blog and decide the law, I am going to allow that to be ok. I will keep working on a larger post, but in the mean time I will keep everyone updated with some shorter posts.
I was up in class for civ. pro. today. I got off to a bad start and was not able to answer a question abour multiple plaintiffs in a diversity action and whether their joinder under rule 20 is allowed under 28 U.S.C. 1367 supplemental jurisdiction statute when one of the parties does not satisfy the requisite amount in controversey. Those rules have trickly language and it is hard to think on your toes when the professor is prodding you for the answer and the rest of the class is just glad it isn't them (unless they know the answer, which I know some, like my desk partner :) did). Oh well, you can't win them all. I think I made up for it when I answered with some grace his questions about pendant claims and parties, the answers to which I was mostly able to put together from the diagrams that he had drawn on the board. So see, it is possible to think on your feet, but only after your feet are on the ground
