As my 1L semester has progressed I have come to a major realization about out legal system-it's a joke. You ask why, wll I'll tell you. There are simply too many morons running around doing stupid shit and then trying to find someone to blame for it, and there are lawyers who are chomping at the bit to help them in their assinine endevour. Sure they are plently of legitimate lawsuits filed every day, yet for every one of those there seem to be 10 that make you shake your head and want to go and find the person that filed it and personally punch them in the nose. Unfortunatly that would probably result in yet another lawsuit. Here are just a few examples of issues that courts have to waste their time deciding:
Should a manufacturer of pointed darts have to warn that they might injure someone's eye??
Should the manufacturer of a Jeep CJ have to warn the driver nto to ride with his bare foot outside of the vehicle while on a highway?
Should the manufacturer of a hot water heater have to warn that hot water cause burns or scalds??
Hot water can cause burns?? No Way!!
