The column featuring the greatest grievances of our times is back and more negligent than ever
Your professor has generously provided you with a gratuitous digital copy of the casebook for your class. As a young law student hoping to make it in this world, you humbly accept this victory, but you notice that every third case in the book is the full, unedited case from Westlaw, West Headnotes and all. The page numbers don’t align with the page numbers on the PDF. TORT or NO TORT?
Your class that regularly occurs on Tuesdays from 4-6pm had to be cancelled because of urgent circumstances experienced by your professor. The class is rescheduled for Friday at 1-3pm. You are entirely available on that day and would have nothing better to do at that time, but this would mean that you would need to come to class on a Friday. TORT or NO TORT?

I sustained serious and prolonged anxiety above the ordinary annoyances of everyday strife. TORT or NO TORT?
A 2L student that isn’t aware of anything happening in other years of law school is writing this column. It has also been a year since I’ve studied torts, and I don’t remember what a tort actually is. TORT or NO TORT?
I want a sweet treat beside my coffee from Terima. TART or NO TART?
I spun the monthly LexisNexis Star Rewards wheel and only received five stars. I will never achieve my dream of being able to place on the esteemed LexisNexis Star Rewards leaderboard unless more people use my referral code LN26042089. Doing so would also regretfully give each referee a whopping 150 stars, tightening the competition further. TORT or NO TORT?
Some idiot scheduled my classes from 8:30am to 8pm on Wednesdays. TORT or NO TORT?
2L. TORT or NO TORT?
The leaves of the trees in Queen’s Park have yet to change colour. This displeases me. TORT or NO TORT?
