From Professor Marital Property

"You sit there worrying about the Uniform Commercial Code and holders-in-due-course and when one interest trumps another and the great hypotheticals involving the Federal Income Tax Code . . . and you store all of this information in case you run into a practicing attorney and he engages you in conversation on the topic. You think they know all those answers and now have moved on to bigger and better things.

Not true. Many of those lawyers are still having difficulty remembering you can't sign a legal document for a dead guy."
