Contracts in poem
My Contracts professor has been telling us to write poems about contracts. We all laughed at first, until we realized he was completely serious. Wednesday in class he read a poem that a previous student wrote about the famous Leonard v. Pepsico case from the 90’s, in which Leonard tried to claim a Harrier jet advertised on TV (see commercial) as costing 7,000,000 Pepsi Stuff points. He somehow raised $700,000 to supplement the Pepsi points he was short (he could only drink so much Pepsi, he realized), and took Pepsi to court for breach of contract when they wouldn’t give him the jet. I won’t tell you who won, but anyway, the poem was pretty funny. Then tonight, as I was reading my Contracts textbook, my professor’s name was mentioned as contributing a poem about another case, which he found on some other professor’s desk at University of Chicago. This man is passionate. I dig it.
