A Famous Quote and Case Law Too

Joseph Story said that the law "is a jealous mistress." Those of you who are lawyers -- or are married to a lawyer -- know this to be true. I have lost many a night's sleep reading, studying, and learning the law (she just won't let you go sometimes).

If you are the same way (or your spouse is), you should read this case: Overstreet v. Shoney's Inc., 4 S.W.3d 694 (Tenn. Ct. App. 1999). This opinion is an excellent overview of the elements of a personal-injury claim in Tennessee. Judge Koch authored the opinion and -- as always -- did an excellent job.

Enjoy the read.
