Canned Immunity: My New Favorite Legal Topic

Of all the fears associated with law school – and there are a couple – getting called on in class probably ranks at the top.

So in the greatest marketing move for the poor since Jesus, someone came up with the idea of “canned immunity.” For two days during memo week (today and tomorrow, praise God), bringing a canned good to class and sitting it on your desk grants immunity from the hot seat. Professors have the option to participate or not, but thankfully all of ours are in (except Professor Green, who is “in” but can outbid us with more cans, so I suspect we’re all fair game in Torts this morning!).

I also suspect the shelves are clean at Ralph’s grocery store this morning.
