vicarzWhy I love to study law:
Pennoyer v. Neff (as retold): "Whatever Neff's reasons for seeking Mitchell's legal services, he certainly could have done better in his choice of lawyers. "J.H. Mitchell" was actually the Oregon alias of one John Hipple. Hipple had been a teacher in Pennsylvania who, after being forced to marry the 15-year-old student whom he had seduced, left teaching and took up law...in 1860 Hipple headed west taking with him four thousand dollars of client money and his then current paramour, a local school teacher. They made their way across Californa where he abandoned the teacher, ostensibly because she was sick and her medical expenses had become to burdensome."
