How I studied Landlord/Tenant relations

I should have posted this a while ago but I was too busy procrastinating studying that I forgot. Lo siento. Allow me now to present my Property review course: The Landlord.
Even the singing BarBri lady can't touch that.

Omnibus Mitchell Post

Mitchell: “Love is just a social construct to cover up some rather unseemly biological processes.”

---

Mitchell: “You call ME to the stand, an unimpeachable witness!”
Class: *Hearty Laughter*
Mitchell: “That was not supposed to prompt hearty laughter.”

---

Mitchell: "[When choosing a car] You can either choose the Yugo, with its tin foil sides or the Lexus, which, if someone looks at you the wrong way, encompasses you in sweet, loving foam...did I just say loving foam? I think I meant life-saving foam. Loving foam...I’d pay a lot for that."

This is to supplement my previous omnibus post of other professors' amusing comments, with the same disclaimer and apology if some of the material has previously found its way into the Law Weekly.

A Glib Cynic Poll

I am uncertain as to which kind of lawyer I'm more bothered by: activists (of any stripe) or personal injury. I'm also not sure if the "With whom would I least prefer to be seated at a dinner party?" test is the correct one to apply here. Thoughts?

Thoughts from my Notes

I'll update this as I make my way through typing up my notes (some of the faculty quotations made it into the Law Weekly, so apologies for any repeats):
  • Whenever a professor says "Good question" she usually means the opposite.
  • --
  • Student: "There’s a difference between wine and pot."
    Mitchell: "Of course there is! One is legal and one should be legal!"
  • --
  • Goluboff: "It has been argued that polygamy is actually good for women...I could use another wife [around the house]."
  • --
  • Kitch: "So what kinds of animals did they leave off?"
  • Student: "Amphibians."
  • Kitch: "Oh yes. Dolphins!"
  • --
  • Student 1: [says something stupid in class]
  • Student 2: "It's okay, it's Monday."
  • The next day -
  • Student 2: [says something stupid in class]
  • Student 1: "It's okay, it's Tuesday."
  • --
  • Kraus: "What does the writing say?"
  • Student: "It says what it says."
  • Kraus: "That's keeping your truth-telling percentage up."
