same, but i think the closed book exams will generally be more forgiving, especially when it comes to specific details.

it's a trade off.

THIS. but fuck privity for ESs/covenants! Our prof said we could analyze everything as an ES (so no need to worry about privity). Then he proceeded in our review session to . . . analyze privity. Sigh:-(

I just got our CALI auth code, so I've never looked at it...

Are there any really great civpro/Ks things that people recommend on there?

T MINUS 1 WEEK

Maybe exams are creeping up on everyone else at my school, too. No one seems nearly as stressed as they were last semester.

Mine is in 2 days, but I know what you mean. Last week when I was in the library it was a ghost town by 5pm. Last night the place was empty by 8pm with exams right around the corner. Maybe it's that I'm at a T2 or that people just prefer studying at home, but the fanaticism doesn't seem terribly pervasive this semester.

GO ON!

Last semester I took a Torts exam that the teacher had given to us earlier in the semester as a sample exam.

I love exam controversies.

My understanding is that when a person is given a leasehold estate they are held in privity of contract as well as privity of estate with the landlord. However, when the original Tenant (T1) assigns their lease to Tenant 2 (T2), T1 loses the privity of estate, yet retains the privity of contract unless they specifically give away all rights and responsibilities of the leasehold to T2. If T2 does not take the full rights, but merely an assignment, they are then in privity of estate with the landlord but not privity of contract because they hold privity of contract with T1; but T1 only has privity of contract, not estate with the Landlord. Now if T2 subleases their leasehold to Tenant 3 (T3), then T3 holds neither privity of estate nor contract with the landlord because their privity of contract only exists with T2 since they took a lesser quantum estate from T2 than the full leasehold; T3 also holds no privity of estate to the landlord because T2 still holds the entirety of the leasehold estate while T3 holds a lesser estate than what the landlord assigned.

LL & T1 - Privity of Contract
LL & T2 - Privity of Estate
LL & T3 - No privity
T1 & T2 - Privity of contract in assignment
T2 & T3 - Privity of contract in sublease
T1 & T3 - No Privity

So if the LL wanted to sue to recover unpaid rent, they may sue T1 & T2 since the LL holds privity with each, but they could not sue T3. However, T2 can sue T3 in subrogation to recover the due rent.

THAT is my understanding of it. That is also the reason why I say fuck privity of estate and contract in leaseholds.

Preclusion mastery is underway! I did all the questions in the E and E and Cali Lessons.

However, Class Actions are scaring me. I've looked through the E&E and there doesnt appear to be anything in there. Can anyone confirm that the Civ Pro E&E has nothing on class actions?

Thanks!!!
