$9.99

About halfway through their first semester of tort law, young law students generally perk up a little when they learn about the famous case involving a large piece of furniture falling out the window of a highrise hotel onto a hapless pedestrian below. While this mishap occurred about 100 years ago, the principle that derived from it remains good law today: Every now and agan you don\'t have to actually prove that someone\'s injury resulted from the negligence of someone else; every now and again, it is so blatantly obvious that the injury resulted from the stupidity or malfeasance of another human being that the courts will give a lawyer a break and let her skip straight to proving damages (well, almost). This, my friends, is what\'s known as the doctrine of \"res ipsa loquitur\" (\"the thing speaks for itself\"). I have yet to meet a lawyer who has actually been fortunate enough to argue a res ipsa case, but ALL civil litigators wistfully dream of one landing in their laps. About ten years ago, I happened upon an attorney artisan (yes, they exist) who cut and stamped these \"res ipsa loquitur\" copper earrings. Petite and pretty at 1.25\" long, these will lure people closer so they can read the fine print.
