Chapter 1: Practicing Corporate Law

Page 8:
Mr. Chiappinelli teaches in Seattle, where he, like everyone else, seems to have coffee on his mind.

In footnote 7, the professor notes "baristas, too, derive their title from their connection with a bar."

Page 13:
Professor Chiappinelli is a law professor who teaches business and corporate law at Seattle University School of Law. Here, he ranks his profession among the highest of law professors.

"It is common knowledge that corporate law scholars occupy the highest level in the legal academic hierarchy--followed, in order by tax scholars, other law professors, and finally constitutional law profs."

Page 15:
In footnote 21, legal propositions and issues are brought forth -- "more than a peppercorn," "what is a chicken?" and "two ships called the Peerless."

I could not recall the names of the cases associated with the quotes, and so I did some research.

Frigaliment Importing Co. v. BNS Int'l Sales Corp., 190 F. Supp. 116 (S.D. N.Y. 1960) -- "What is a chicken?"

Raffles v. Wichelhaus, 159 Eng. Rep. 375 (Ex. Ch. 1864) - "Two ships called the Peerless."

However, I was unable to find the original case that dealt with the test "more than a peppercorn." Does anyone know?
