before contract law midterms
Oct. 12th, 2011 11:33 pmThis is what I have to say about contract law. It is, in its minutae, endlessly and frustratingly fascinating, like letting a mouse run through a multilevel maze made inequal parts of hard candy, rotten straw and self-righteousness, twisted enough that it created 4 dimensions, inertia, blackholes and occasionally an exploding wormhole that throws the mouse's head and tail in opposite directions.
At the same time it's a bit funny that law students of today should passionately care that someone once went to court over a horse. Many horses. Oats, too. And cabbage seeds. And yet, seen from the outside, it's very boring indeed. So boring that it's come out the other way. Is it boring or interesting? I can't tell any more. It wraps around a lot.
I guess I should be grateful that we're only doing simple contracts for now. But damn, why is there so much Latin?
