I'm reading to learn how to do those things, as is customary in school.

>as is customary in school.
In what manner of shithole do you live, that getting your education from 4chan would be customary in school?

I'm poor and learning the basics of the judicial system using online resources, primarily by finding required reading material listed on prominent legal university course syllabi listings and finding them online to read on my own.

Favorite case and why?

Anything with a Holmes opinion, whether he's writing for the majority or in dissent. In terms of the fact pattern, Fetter v. Beale is pretty hilarious imo>

If you're the kind of person who is mentally prepped for the west to naturally select itself out of existence in the near future, it's hard not to take a sympathetic view of Holmes. His Lochner opinion is probably one of the most famous ever, although most of his proponents are dithering retards.

I'll look that up, thanks.

I was reading "Understanding Intellectual Property Law" which mentioned an Railway Labor Executives' Ass'n v. Gibbons supreme court decision and the proceedings of that trial were amazing.

A railroad company goes under and files for reconstruction. Illinois court grants reconstruction, gives orders. Orders carried out by Trustee. Labor, organized by various unions under the Executive's Assn, strike and bankrupt the company a second time after 4 1/2 years good standing. Court says reorganization not possible, orders Trustee to liquidate assets.

Unions petition Government for help. Congress signs law dividing up liquidated assets between Labor working for the company, signed by Reagan. Bankruptcy court says it's violation of 5th's Just Takings Clause, rejects it. Congress amends by saying the Bankruptcy court can't do that and signs it again. Bankruptcy court again injuncts against Congress, proceeds to District court which holds it does violate the 5th, goes to Supreme.

Supreme Court holds that the Act signed by Congress violates the Bankruptcy Clause of the Enumerated powers by not being "uniform", throws it out. Liquidated assets are divided up normally between creditors.

I like this a lot because a) some small bankruptcy court spit in the face of congress and the president and won, and b) it prevented a precedent where unions could bankrupt a company by being cocksuckers and then have congress give them the leftovers of the company they just bankrupted.

take that reagan you fucking commie

Get a casebook on Civil Procedure and a copy of a supplement with the FRCP to start.

Did you finish studying law in its entirety yet OP?
