Contracts under law.

A successful high school party is extremely difficult to pull off.
This weekend, my friends and I beat the odds.
We had over eighty people come to our Ugly Sweater Christmas Party, and nearly everyone went all out to dress up.
It was wonderful. The Friendship's collective self-esteem and social status has risen exponentially.
Every group was represented in some way, so everyone had someone to talk to.
After the last people left, we were so overjoyed with our absolute success that we had a crazy dance party, just us girls, until 2:30 AM, and then collapsed on the floor, falling asleep all at once in a pile of blankets.
The Friendship is the tightest friend-group there is.
We're sisters.
Don't mess.

You know what I've been thinking about lately?
Lawsuits.

Patients sue doctors all the time. How far off is the day when a doctor can sue a patient for not following a treatment regime? I mean, we can sue people for not taking TB medication (and subsequently exposing a population), but if a patient can bring up a frivolous suit against a doctor, can't it work both ways?

Also, one area that really hasn't been touched yet is the student-teacher contract (though it isn't an actual document, in legal terminology it's implied, just like in the doctor-patient contract. A contract is basically an agreement between two parties in which each is expected to fulfill a specific responsibility to the other).
Can a student bring a suit against a teacher because he or she did not teach the student anything or use the student's time efffectively? In a breach of warranty suit (due to a breach in the student-teacher contract), a student would technically have legal standing to bring a case if he or she could argue that the teacher did not adequately fulfill his or her responsibilities to the student.
Or, take the converse: under the same criteria, can a teacher take a student to court for not doing his homework or coming to class?
Interesting.

In the context of suing McDonalds for making us fat or for the fact that coffee is indeed a hot beverage, these cases honestly do not sound so ridiculous.

I wish I were interested in going to law school, so I could capitalize on this.
Instead, though, I'll end up a doctor--someone who loves what she does, but has to live in fear of this kind of frivolous litigation.
It really isn't fair.
