Legal Stuff

Given my schedule Friday, I wasn't able to post that the new Iowa Supreme Court cases were up. There were three of them, one confirming that the statute prohibiting "any amount" of certain illegal substances in your system while driving really does mean "any amount." The second an appeal from a work comp case. The third is a trust and estates case involving remainders, which is cool for it's intro:

H.L. Mencken once said the capacity of human beings to bore one another seems vastly greater than that of any other animal. The subject-matter of this appeal—a medieval interest known as a remainder—proves Mencken’s point, although we shall do our best to bring matters to resolution as painlessly and interestingly as possible. Much is at stake.

Nicely put. Caution: Do not read if you never wanted to hear the words "contingent remainder" again once you got out of Property II. Though I can still hear Kurtz singing in the back of my mind. Very scary.
