Pennoyer
The other cases (Erie, Palsgraff) actually stand for a legal principle, i.e., they are important to the legal industry as a whole. Pennoyer is a confusing, bullshit case that's known only for its inexplicable inclusion in 1L Civ Pro courses.

I voted Hawkins. The Paper Chase made it more famous than the rest.
The carbolic smoke ball and barren cow cases also stuck with me for some reason.

I think they still teach the basics of Marbury v. Madison and McCullough v. Maryland in American history and government classes starting in Elementary or Middle school. At least, they did when I was a (edit--younger) kid.

That's why I voted for it. Even Dudley is relevant when it's not even an American case.flcath wrote:Pennoyer

we didn't even do the hairy hands case in contracts.
I vote Erie just because I heard about it from before I had even started civ pro..."just wait until you get to Erie" type of comments from before day 1 of law school

I vote Mottley. Up to the Supreme Court twice over a pair of Goddamned train tickets. How is that for vexatious litigation. When you get to Fed.Courts you find out that there is all kinds of other important stuff in the case.

How can it not be Marbury? None of those other cases would be nearly as important without it.

I'm guessing you didn't understand Erie; Marbury has nothing to do with Pierson, Hawkings, Palsgraf, etc.Mce252 wrote:How can it not be Marbury? None of those other cases would be nearly as important without it.

We're looking at famous, not important. The fact that I know all about the Palsgraf as a 0L gives it a little more famous status in my mind.Mce252 wrote:How can it not be Marbury? None of those other cases would be nearly as important without it.

And if we're talking about most important, then Martin v. Hunter's Lessee wins.

Edit - The wut wasn't directed at Hunter's Lessee, was it?

So the case can no longer be described as a 1L case because the person referencing it isn't a 1L?Antilles Haven wrote:Let me help you:InGoodFaith wrote:wut
