More on the Casebook Shooting:
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2007_10_21-2007_10_27.shtml#1193158911
From the [1]Wall Street Journal law blog post on this matter, which
[2]Hanah linked to yesterday:
An Indiana Law 3L was arrested last week, accused of firing a rifle
from his Bloomington apartment balcony....
What jumped out at the Law Blog were reports that he was apparently
aiming his rifle at his Real Estate Transfer Finance and
Development casebook ....
The Law Blog reached out for the authors of Real Estate Transfer
Finance and Development, law professors Grant Nelson ... and Dale
Whitman ...
�Are you serious?� said Whitman .... �Wow, he must not have liked
that class very much.� ... �I�ve had people that say my scholarship
is shot through with holes, but I�ve never had anyone prove it
literally.�
�That is so bizarre,� [Nelson] said. �But at least he went after
our casebook instead of going after people. Thank god for small
blessings.� He then joked: �But it might not be so bad from West�s
perspective, because that�s one used casebook now off the market.�
Grant Nelson is my colleague (he's now at Pepperdine, but he's still
emeritus here at UCLA), friend, former teacher (property and remedies,
not real estate finance), and former office neighbor. Thanks to our
colleague Eric Zolt for pointing out the Grant connection.
