Legal Quick Hits

A few cases I figured were worth pointing out. Plus I need to practice my citation forms for the final...

1. Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer- Apparently, there are RESTRICTIONS on Executive power. Who knew?

2. Justice v. State- Even in Indiana, Justice prevails!!! (Best.Case.Name.Ever.)

3. Lavender v. Kurn- "Plaintiff's theory is that Haney was struck by the curled end of a mail hook that extended from a mail car; defendant contended that plaintiff's theory was practically a physical impossibility and that in fact Haney was probably murdered by one of the hoboes shown to frequent the area at night. Hence, death by hook or by crook?" Simply stunning...

At some point, I'll make a longer post about Cordas v. Peerless Transportation Co.; someone just has to remind me.

May all your hits be crits,
B
