Re: What is the most famous 1L case?
If this is most famous for law students and lawyers, sure, maybe Palsgraf. But if it's most famous overall, it has to be Hawkins. Lots of people have seen The Paper Chase.

I'm going with Palsgraf. I haven't read Hawkins or Regina yet, but I'm in Ks and Crim right now so I guess we'll get to them.

We skipped Palsgraf in torts since the professor said it was meaningless and overly confusing. By that logic, I wish we could've skipped con law.

I can agree with this, besides there's a far more awesome version of Palsgraf now:ilovesf wrote:I'm going with Palsgraf. I haven't read Hawkins or Regina yet, but I'm in Ks and Crim right now so I guess we'll get to them.

Marbury v. Madison is the most famous case. You learned this case in elementary school. I don't remember Palsgraf being inserted into my history books as a kid.

Re: What is the most famous 1L case?
I disagree with Palsgraf because while the facts of the case are really screwed up, it's a sinch to summarize what the rule is. I can scarcely remember what Pennoyer's overall rule even was. Something about needing to be in a state in order to find personal jurisdiction.

We did in high school but I don't remember it at all in elementary school. Pretty sure I was too busy writing reports on my favorite president and memorizing the state capitals back then.InGoodFaith wrote:Definitely learned about it a couple times in middle and high school.ilovesf wrote:I didn't study this case in elementary school.Mce252 wrote:Marbury v.

Marbury v. Madison.
I don't think it's close, but I'm also 0L. The case was the only one that came up in all 3 of my UG law courses.
Now, if you are a URM applicant or Dean Z, then you might prefer Grutter v. Bolinger

Dudley & Stephens was the cannibal case, where the doods plotted, killed, and then ate a 17 yrs old bro while stranded at sea--first drinking his blood and then eating his body.

While maybe not the moast famous case, it's definitely one of the most hardcore of the famous cases.
Hawkins was squibbed in my k book. Doctor implanted skin on boys hand from his chest, and promised him it would look nice. Grew hair and boy got mad and sued for breach.

After visiting a number of law schools, I thinks it has to be either Laptop or Nut, and not necessarily in that order.

I went to a private school. I guess they just didn't care about it that much.

First, 0Ls need to get the FUCK out of the Forum for Law School Students.
Second, it's obviously Pierson v. Post. Marbury doesn't count because Con Law is not a 1L course at the nation's leading Chicago-based law school.
