Memo Bloody Memo

If a snail could write, it would write at the pace I am.

As I reread the cases and fine tune the rule extractions, I've noticed how much I've distanced myself from certain facts of the case.

Our memo topics are summary judgment, vicarious liability, and scope of employment. I have been reading the cases to find out what sort of actions would fall into the scope of employment (or more accurately, what would create a triable issue that an employee was acting within the scope of employment). So I make a mental list; this falls under, that doesn't, and this creates a triable issue. I concentrate so much on the facts that are relevant to my memo that I realized I forgot that some of the people we are writing about have actually died from the accident being disputed over.

Now I am sad.

P.S. I watched both Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later. Would watch "Thriller" but too lazy to search for the video online. Good suggestion though. Maybe the "Thriller" dance scene in 13 Going on 30? Just kidding. Jennifer Garner has made it on my shit list. (Ben Affleck has a lot to do with that.)
