I never thought I would say this about a test in law school, but I was actually over prepared. I spent most of my day yesterday trying to get in as much studying as I could. And then I spent 2 hours this morning creating name associations for each of the 42 possible cases we have discussed. Some of my favorites included:
- Harry Potter has 2 best friends and wants to marry them but isn't allowed to (Potter v. Murray: you can criminally prosecute for polygamy)
- If Britney Spears wants to take money from K-Fed, she needs to prove they were never divorced (Spearman v. Spearman: First wife has to prove that there was no divorce, preponderance of the evidence)
- Jennifer W. Fuentes is pregnant and her child will be also be Maloni's (State ex rel Interest of JWF: a child born within a marriage is a de facto adoption)
- Patrick Swayze wouldn't claim his dance partner's child on Dirty Dancing (Swayne v. LDS Social Services: dad didn’t claim to be father when given the chance and can't change his mind)
- Blair and Chuck got into a car accident and she wants to claim insurance money (Whyte v. Blair: Car insurance. CL marriage: consent, cohabit, hold out to be married)
