Barzam WTFs of the week
An Open Letter to People in Bar Hypotheticals:
Dear sketchy people who witness car accidents: If you plan to be unavailable for trial, please stop making excited utterances to one witness and statements inconsistent with your excited utterances to other witnesses. Because apparently you can get impeached even if you never took the stand.
Dear crazy old berks: Please stop revoking second or third wills expecting the that the revocation will resurrect the first will you wrote because I hate writing about the doctrine of dependent relative revocation. You clearly know how to write an execute a valid will -- just pony up the lawyers fees again. While you're at it, stop adding handwritten codicils and setting your precious stamp collections on fire.
Dear abused wives: Please stop secretly buying real estate and giving title to your girl friend Blanche so your husband doesn't find out. Because he will, and he'll want title, and invariably Blanche is gonna claim its was a gift and purchase money resulting trusts don't exist in my state.

Personally, I was just amused that snakes on a plane made it into a Torts hypothetical.
That made me laugh. A lot. And then there were a couple of tears, but nothing out of the ordinary. :) Thanks.
I just saw this on twitter and it made me think of your post. I've been reading a lot about the barzam from the newly minted JDs I follow and this managed to make me laugh. I hope it makes you smile in the midst of the barzamwtfery. Cheers.

What the hell is a purchase money resulting trust? I guess I'm not studying hard enough.
As to your first paragraph, I got the multistate question on which that is based incorrect. I never knew you could impeach someone who wasn't actually testifying.
Oh well, just hope the overall bar exam pass rate holds true this year
Buffalodawg! Long time no see!
Yes, I got that one wrong as well. Hence the blog post. Now I know.
