Briefing Palsgraf while on Amtrak. Oh irony. Applying some method acting techniques to law study can't POSSIBLY be a bad idea.... #palsgraf #torts #sarcasm #methodactor #itdepends #lawschool #lawstudent #law #study #amtrak #lovemylife #sacramento

I have been wanting to do this one for the longest time. Finally got around to doing it. Hope everyone likes the Hitchcock motif :)

Was unprepared for a cold-call in torts and was sentenced to write a poem about the case (Palsgraf). I give you,  The Bourgeois and the Pauper .    There once was a poor man who trudged down the road To enquire at the door of a rich man’s abode. The poor man was angry, and the rich man quite curious “What on Earth could I have done to make you so furious? Don’t you know who I am? You must be mistaken. I myself am a sixth cousin of Sir Francis Bacon.” “I’m angry because you once employed a maid Who drew water from a well for which you paid.” “I don’t see how any of that could be wrong,” said he, “Are you just trying to make a quick buck off of me?” “She would drag the pail and the water would leak, Then from the ground spring flowers would peak.” “I can’t quite follow your cryptic tale; What do the flowers have to do with the pail?” “A great deal, indeed!” the poor man exclaimed, “The water brought life to the dry terrain. The newly grown flowers brought wasps and bees!” The poor man dropped his pants down below his knees. “Today I was stung by a big yellow jacket And right on my rear, as my poor luck would have it. It’s painful, it’s ugly, it’s swollen, it’s red! I can’t sit down or so much as lie in bed. You owe me something – there must be a law That says the poor can recover against the bourgeois."  “You can’t just recover from any old bozo; It’s a matter of law, so said Judge Cardozo. “ And with the matter settled, the rich man could only laugh “I'm not the proximate cause – just ask Palsgraf!”
