The Best Defense Is A Good Offense

The class was giving Professor Civil Procedure a hard time today, asking lots of tough questions about federal jurisdiction, not letting anything slip by. Myself, I demanded to know XXXX. Prof. CP wheeled on me. "Okay Trevor, why don't you take us through the facts of the next case."
Score! I hadn't been prepared at all for Civil Procedure, but we'd read the case for Contracts, and just discussed it early in the morning. This was the one thing I was qualified to talk about.
"It's a slip and fall case. The plaintiffs went on a cruise and one got hurt so they sued the company for keeping the boats too ... slippery."
