There are three “Mondays” between October 19 and 26, or approximately one Monday every 2.666666 days. This ratio of Mondays is unacceptable and rises to the level of a harm to me and my family. TORT or NO TORT?

A piece of the ceiling caved in during Vincent Chiao’s Criminal Law class on September 29. There were no physical injuries but we were all a little unsettled. TORT or NO TORT?

Today in class I put up my hand and the teacher pointed to someone behind me, but I started talking. My teacher’s hand gesture was vague and unfocused, totally inappropriate for the classroom situation. TORT or NO TORT?

There is no crosswalk between the island at the top of Queen’s Park and the other side of the road. Every day hundreds of students are forced to play a game of human Frogger.

I have spent at least six (6) hours at Westlaw information sessions this semester. These sessions are during the lunch hour, but food is rarely provided. A list of foods I could have been eating during these sessions includes: ham sandwiches, muffins, Snapple, pizza, pad thai, falafel/shawarma and berry pie. TORT or NO TORT?

Our mandatory 1L seminar on point first writing lasted for 2 hours, and the point was first. As a result, the last hour and forty-five minutes could probably have been inferred. TORT or NO TORT?

My pseudonym, which I cannot print here in the interests of a) decency and b) anonymity, is demeaning to me. It impedes my writing process and certainly biases the grading practices of my professors. No reasonable professor would give a “HH” to a paper written by “Skunk Cabbage.” Shoot, I said I wasn’t going to print it. TORT or NO TORT?
