try on of the online quiz generators . . .

1. Palsgraf v. Long Island R.R.: Poor Ms. Palsgraf couldn’t prove proximate cause.

2. Martin v. Herzog. “creeping fingers of dusk”. Violation of a statute is prima facie evidence of negligence.

3. MacPherson v. Buick Motor. Products liability? Something to do with privity not required?

4. Pokora v. Wabash Railway. Hmmm… know it, studied it, but seem to have forgotten it. Maybe overturns the other railroad case w/ opinion by Holmes?

5. Murphy v. Steeplechase Amusement. The Timorous may stay home, while the risk-assuming Adventurous ride The Flopper.

6. H.R. Moch v. Rensselaer Water Co. Hmmm… probabilistic calculation of damages?

7. Ultramares v. Touche, Niven. Hmmm… also recognize, but can’t remember. Maybe something to do with privity, as well? Accountants?

8. Adams v. Bullock. Kid hits trolley wires with a stick, electrocutes himself. Foreseeability?

9. Wagner v. Internation Railway. No clue.

10. Glanzer v. Shepherd. No clue.

B. RICHARD POSNER

1. Indiana Harbor Belt R.R. v. American Cyanamid. Utility v. danger in calculating strict liability.

Don’t know the rest of the Posner cases.

Of the Cardozo opinions, I remember Palsgraf, Martin, MacPherson v. Buick Motor, Murphy, Adams, and Wagner from my Torts class. I read Ultramares in my corporations class. The ones I remember more than just the names of would be Palsgraf and MacPherson, and Ultramares. The rest I had to look up to remember the facts, but once I saw about 2 words I remembered the cases vividly. I also looked up the other Cardozo opinions and vaguely recalled them (except for Pokora), which seems to show that my casebook contained all of them, and that we had read them. Out of all of the cases, the only thing that really stands out is that my casebook seemed to say that both Cardozo and Andrews were partially right in their analyses, and that there was some mangling of terminology.

Of the Posner opinions, I distinctly remember Indiana Harbor Belt, but this case wasn’t in our casebook. Instead, it was in a coursepack created by our professor. I don’t recall any of the other Posner opinions, and when I looked them up, it was pretty evident that I had never encountered them.

Our class used the Tort Law: Responsibilities and Redress casebook by Goldberg, Sebok, and Zipursky.

I can’t tell you what they are but I recognize Palsgraf, Herzog and Wabash. I only remember the substance of Palsgraf. The others, the names ring a bell.

I sadly don’t recognize Posner’s opinions.

I will add that I’m terrible with case names.
