Law Students

We read property . . . once

Imagine you're a 1L with a property final coming up next week.  You lost your book early on in the semester and so finally after a while you get around to ordering a replacement from Half.com.  The book arrives you're relieved now that you can learn about takings.  You're less relieved when you flip it open, see the handwriting and realize you just paid for the same book twice.

According to a tipster this actually happened this semester.  It sounds a bit like a tall tale, but if the unlucky 1L is a reader we'd love to hear your account.  What's most interesting to us is that if the seller is a law student this sounds like a per se honor code violation.  We could get to have one of those crazy honor trials.  Does the Honor Committee have subpeona power?  If you see a law student who looks real nervous this week, remember, it might not be exams.
