Property Law in Middle Earth

Here I am, minding my own business and studying for finals when I make the mistake of mentioning to a couple of friends that my default is to have The Hobbit Trilogy and Lord of the Rings playing for background noise.

- PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE BY ANY MEANS

My Smart Ass Friend #1 (MSAF1):  Gollum lost the One Ring in the Misty Mountain and Bilbo found it, but it was originally created by Sauran. Who owns the One Ring?

Me: No one because the ring was destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom and you can't own property that no longer exists

MSAF1: My question takes place during The Hobbit

Me: 😒 fine

Me: Bilbo's title is good against anyone’s other than the previous finder or true owner. In this case Gollum, being the previous finder, would need to bring an action in an attempt to reclaim the Ring in order to exercise his previous title. Sauron's title, being the true owner, is superior to both Bilbo's and Gollum's. However, at the end of the Hobbit neither Sauron nor Gollum have brought an action to reclaim the One Ring from Bilbo. Therefore Bilbo, being a finder and current possessor, is the owner of the One Ring at the end of The Hobbit.

Additionally, there is a Prevailing Public Interest in not to give the Ring back to Sauron and instead awarding title to practically Anybody Else (if title must be awarded at all instead of just destroying the damn thing).

My Smart Ass Friend #2 (MSAF2): 😏

Me: no.

MSAF2: Unless maybe the dwarfs have a claim as ruler of the land.

Me: siiiiiiiiiigh

MSAF 1 & 2: 🤜🤛

Me: The dwarves would not have a claim because, at the time Gollum lost the Ring, they did not have ownership of the Misty Mountains, where Gollum lived. The Goblins had ownership by adverse possession. However, the Goblins would also not have a claim because Gollum lost the Ring rather than mislaid it. Had Gollum mislaid it, then yes, the owner of the local, aka the Goblins, would have a claim. Instead, because Gollum lost the Ring, the next finder, aka Bilbo, has title.

MSAF1: The original owner always has the strongest claim to lost property.  In this case you could even say that the One Ring was stolen by Isildur.

Me: A thief's title is the same as a finder (which I think is problematic as fuck) subject only to the true owner or to the previous owner, be they finder or thief. Therefore, Isildur had a good title subject only to Sauron's title as Sauron was both the true & previous owner. However, Isildur lost the Ring moments before he was killed. As such, when Smeagol found the Ring, he had a finder's title.

in life updates: decided to enroll in a notoriously difficult class this semester. civil law is my achilles heel, and i also wanted to force myself into better study habits and time management. last week, i took the midterm and braced myself for a fail: despite improvements in the way i prepared for class and spoke during cold calls, i'd still been struggling over the semester. after the exam ended, i went and checked the schedule for dropping classes. one week later. dear reader, i passed.

#sam screams #seriously what the fuck guys after finding out my grade i went to the bathroom to cry #the same bathroom i cried in when i found out i failed my nth exam in first year #anyway people are like flowers they bloom in their own time #studyblr #study aesthetic #study motivation #studyspo #lawblr #uni #coffee #college student #studygram #books #dark academia #chaotic academia #law school

Love it when a college gymnast announces her premature retirement on social media and likes a trillion tweets about her situation and team and negative comments about the coaching staff thereof on her public twitter account and then 12 hrs later is like “um please don’t speculate about it” 🤪

#if u want privacy then don’t do that shit on ur public facing acct dumbass #aren’t u a first year law student like how can’t u put that together akhshsgdhsgfhshd

It’s very silly that my gf’s non binary friend said I was intimidating, I’m literally such a pushover 😵‍💫

Also unrelated but I’m so stoked and terrified at the same time, tomorrow is orientation for college then Wednesday it’s like actually happening.

I’m very spooked that I’m gonna stand out because I’m like a trans woman in a law program. So my brain is trying to convince me that I need to go hella fem so I can kinda hopefully pass.

“How does a 7 year old have a gun?…I’m only here because my husband is in the military or otherwise I would have not chosen to come to this country”

 A British woman after a 6 year old shot his teacher at Richneck Elementary School in Virginia!

This is the reality of the gun culture in America, and it will never change. It's about as low as a contemporary civilized civilization can go for a six-year-old to have access to a gun and know how to use it. And no one in power is concerned. Unfortunately, nothing will change in this nation. A normal country wouldn't make these weapons available

This is Abby Zwerner, 25-years-old from Williamsburg, Virginia, the first grade teacher shot by a 6-year-old student in her classroom. 👇

Istg, I researched this whole ass opinions fight so beautifully and carefully, if the corrector person isn't crying at it, they don't have any feelings and I will find their address and-

#vrooms talking #opinion fights between literature and court rulings and the way i portrayed them in my very first law paper as a wee first year student #nearly had me fail that paper #I had 7 point which is average and average in law means amzing #and this person just took away three points for this and another couple things #and I need 4 points to not faul (which means 50 % right of the case solution) #and that is basically university villain origin story #that last years criminal law paper that got obliterated by the corrector #i took 24 hours off of life and social interactions and cried the whole time after finding out I failed it with 2 points

dumbledore is a silly little old man who should be in jail

#first and foremost for literally killing his 14 year old sister #(yes yes maybe he didn’t do it yadda yadda I don’t care) #secondly for hiring hagrid as a care of magical creatures teacher when that man didn’t even do his magic gcses!! #he got expelled in third year which means he only finished up to second year. his knowledge only goes up to the equivalent of a magic year 8 #that is definitely illegal like it has to be hagrid has absolutely no qualifications to speak of and I don’t care that he’s a lovely man #thirdly for beating up magical law enforcement in harry’s fifth year and also technically the prime minister #like r u serious that is so illegal #fourthly for running a vigilante club that I’m pretty sure was canonically illegal #and everyone knew he ran it as well like sure they did great things in both wars but it’s still fucking illegal #fifth for letting moody (crouch) use unforgivables in class and on students. #like I can’t believe they were like ‘u can never use these spells bc u go straight to azkaban’ #but then immediately turn around and use them on 14 year olds for a class demonstration #like that is sooooo illegal they’re literally minors #and dumbledore I’m pretty sure is overall responsible for that shit so #sixthky for taking harry to a fun little excursion to a glowy magical cave of death #they literally need parental permission to go to fucking hogsmeade a wizards only village which is literally built around the school #like it is definitely illegal to be taking him on a trip anywhere let alone a life threatening one to a glowy death cave #seventhly for being chief warlock of wizengamot or sm like that and headmaster of hogwarts and a bunch of other important official roles #like. that should be illegal even if it wasn’t bc no one man should hold that much power bro r u serious #albus dumbledore #this is not against dumbledore this is against jkr and everything she stands #this specifically points out her inability to use her brain and think past plot holes ever #anti jkr #hp

[betweendoctorsanddetectives]

Thinking about the nerve of a man last night who was talking to me about the course and when I was telling him about my current research he would interrupt my sentences because he thought he could preempt how they would end and I would say no thats not what I was about to say and he'd laugh as if I made a joke . And he kept very obviously looking me up and down and seemed to think I liked him. And then later that night he was still with my friend group later because he seemed to think he was getting somewhere with whoever he was currently in a conversation with. And he tried to chat me up at that point and I asked if he could remember my name and he said no

#important to note this is was a first year law student who has to resit his coursework #and then a DIFFERENT guy was really argumentative for no reason and when i said anything he wouldnt listen. you know the type I'm sure

[law-school-struggle-bus]

Welp. I finished my 1L year. Only two more to go. Joy.

But, seriously, this has been an amazing experience and I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity. The fact I took the LSAT and applied to law school almost on a whim could possibly exacerbate my imposter syndrome but after all the work and stress I feel that I earned my place here. I belong in law school. This is as much fun for me as my Masters in Creative Writing. I honestly cannot wait to see what new things await me in the coming years.

Productivity Challenge: 1/100

Not much to actually go off today to be honest, since it is the first day of the winter semester, but I did get everything ready for that.

I'm doing two classes over the winter semester, which honestly I will probably end up regretting.

My first class, which is the one I'm less excited about but is the one that is most related to my course is social enterprise. I'm honestly not entirely sure what this course will end up involving, but from what I've read about it so far it's a community-based group project type thing which I'm not overly keen for. I hope it ends up being good but who knows.

My second class, which I'm far more interested in is Law Reform and Social Change. This is much more linked to the law part of the degree I'm doing and is a second-year course, which because I'm doing it now means I'm able to start a third-year course semester one next year which I hope will cut down some time from my overall study. I'm slightly worried it will be difficult since I'm doing firm law and contract law next semester so I'm not sure how that will affect this. If it gets to be too much I'm gonna drop this unit and pick it up along with a social economics class over the Christmas summer semester since I'll have far more time then.

For now, I have my books in order, my assignment due dates planned out, and everything sorted for the first lecture of each to be posted tomorrow! Wish me luck everyone!

[Image ID:

A picture that says “A student once asked anthropologist Margaret Mead, “What is the earliest sign of civilization? The student expected her to say a clay pot, a grinding stone, or maybe a weapon. 

Margaret Mead thought for a moment, then she said, “A healed femur.”

The second picture is a news headline. It is bolded and a much larger font. “27-year-old who couldn’t afford $1,200 insulin copay dies after trying cheaper version.”

The third picture is the same font and size as the Margaret Mead quote. It’s a continuation. It says, “A femur is the longest bone in the body, linking hip to knee. In societies without the benefits of modern medicine, it takes about six weeks of rest for a fractured femur to heal. A healed femur shows that someone cared for the injured person, did their hunting and gathering, stayed with them, and offered physical protection and human companionship until the injury could mend.” 

The fourth picture is another headline. It is in a large and bolded type. “Dying man who couldn’t afford to go to hospital after vomiting blood"

The fifth picture is a screenshot of the Margaret Mead story.

Mead explained that where the law of the jungle—the survival of the fittest—rules, no healed femurs are found. The first sign of civilization is compassion, seen in a healed femur. 

The next screenshot is of a slightly different font. The letters are pointier and the lines are a little curvier. It says, “Susan Finley returned to her job at a Walmart retail store in Grand Junction Colorado, after having to call in sick because she was recovering from pneumonia.

The day after she returned, the fifty three  year old received her ten year associate award — and was simultaneously laid off, according to her family. She had taken off one day beyond what is permitted by Walmart’s attendance policy.

After losing her job in May 2016, Finley also lost her health insurance coverage and struggled to find a new job. Three months later, Finley was found dead in her apartment after avoiding going to see a doctor for flu-like symptoms. 

A screenshot of a bold, bigger headline. It says ‘The house always wins’: Insurers’ record profits.

A final screenshot of smaller text with a slightly gray background. It says “We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.” /end ID.] 

#is this post a refutation of the claim that civilizations are defined by caring for their injured? #is it a critique of our own community and saying that we aren't civilized? #YOU DECIDE!

bro I’ll never again be able to do it like I was doing it in high school

#I just read through my final essay for AP lang and the closing statement I wrote for my law class’ mock trial and they’re both such bangers #like genuinely the writing in both is better than what I could do today (to be fair at that time I had just taken a year of ap lang #and that had made me really really good at essays) #and like my valedictory! that shit ruled! I was told it was the best valedictorian speech most of my teachers had heard in a decade! #I was thriving! #Ok I wasn’t fully thriving but still. I had a 96% avg and was consistently churning out stellar work #plus I still had friends lol. uni has not been kind to me in that way #I miss it tbh. Like I defo had my ups and downs but god I was just such a different and better person then #I didn’t skip a single class in high school. Nowadays I skip half my lectures. #I just found out my com class is done with marked attendance so you bet your ass I’m gonna stop going to that! #like high school me could have never. high school me had 100% in bio 97% in physics and 96% in chem #and was looking forward to a career in stem. lol #anyway I’m just reminiscing #when I think about my childhood I get painfully nostalgic. When I think about high school I just feel sad that I’ve fallen so far #I miss being a good student who the teachers all liked who was in clubs and sports and leadership and the arts #and I recognize I could become that again if I really worked at it #but idk. something’s changed #I think I’m burnt out first and foremost. And then I just don’t care as much anymore. and as a result I’ve really stopped trying as hard #and it’s too bad #bro what happened to this post I was just gonna poke fun at myself for writing better in grade 11 than I do now years later #and then I had to get all sad about it

Walk him like a dog

Pairing: Gojo Satoru x Reader

Note ₊˚⊹♡ : The first year trio are watching Gojo who is completely head over heels for you.

To the world, Gojo Satoru is the strongest but to the people who know him Gojo Satoru is a menace.

When he was in high school, he was a different breed. Yaga could not sleep at times from all the stress Gojo would cause; be it either an earful from the higher ups or checking the news only to find out there had been an explosion conveniently where Gojo’s mission was assigned.

Sometimes he would get pictured sent to him by the problem student himself, a picture with a beaten up enemy and Gojo winking at the camera with a note saying ‘Yay~ another victory! I mean it’s as normal as breathing for me (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ’

Even when Yaga would use his authority and lecture him, sometimes Gojo Satoru would not listen; be it simply ignoring or rebutting it with his opinion— an opinion no one asks for.

And when that happens, Yaga would pull out his secret weapon ‘You’! He didn’t use this card all the time but at time Gojo was simply so uncooperative, he had to! Any word coming from you would be listened to by him as if it were law. Right now, at the age of 28 he seemed to have matured- no stopped acting as childish and Yaga didn’t have to rely on you so often.

That same Yaga watches from the window at his new first years— Kugisaki Nobara, Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro Megumi— behind a bush, hiding peeking over to you and Gojo who were on a bench.

“Ah…” Kugisaki sweat dropped at the pair. “Gojo-sensei is so smitten.” She said observing at how you were simply reading a book, as Gojo yaps away but one thing very obvious was the gentle look he gave you.

When you finally looked Gojo’s way, their white haired teacher suddenly stops, they notice a faint blush peeping under his blindfolds and when he does starts talking he stammers. THE Gojo Satoru was stammering, biting his tongue simply because you were looking at him.

“Kugisaki, let’s leave.” Itadori covers his eyes, his right eye peeps through the cracks of his fingers. “Sensei is doing such a bad job at flirting with y/n, I’m getting embarrassed.”

Kugisaki lifts her hands and grabs the collar of Itadori’s and starts shaking it. “This is the closest we’re getting to romance in this school and I want to be the witness.” She grits her teeth.

Just then Nanami walks along the path, making the pair look over. You smile as you call out. “Nanami-kun.”

Nanami stops and waits as you stand from your bench, walking over to greet him. The students stare; as soon as you got off the bench and walks Gojo follows suit not even a millisecond later.

Kugisaki cringes. “He is like a puppy…”

They could vaguely hear Gojo start to make fun of Nanami, but when you think his ‘joke’ was a slight bit too harsh; they watch you give Gojo a side eye and almost immediately their teacher shuts up.

‘y/n has the strongest sorcerer at the palm of their hands .’ Kugisaki and Itadori collectively thought.

Before Kugisaki could comment she senses a small wet feeling on her forehead, then another and then she was drowning in it. Suddenly it started raining.

“Geh. Let’s get out of here.” Kugisaki says as she quickly brought her hands up to cover her bangs. “I don’t want my hair to frizz up.”

Itadori and Fushiguro follows her lead as they walk away to the nearby building and when they did reach shelter, Kugisaki quickly turns around to check on their teacher and you, a fellow sorcerer.

Her mouth drops slightly taking in the situation at hand, Nanami was no where in sight. She assumes he left because of the rain too.

But that wasn’t the focus.

Her eyes were focused on Gojo and you, holding hands smiling fondly at each other, she also noted that he was using ‘Infinity’ to not get wet from the rain.

Gojo laughs as he raises one of your hands high which makes you let out laugh, but complies as you proceed to twirl. As soon as you make two twirls, their teacher places his hands on your face as his leans down, his lips on yours.

Kugisaki and Itadori squeal and blushes at the intimate scene infront of them, jumping. “Sensei, finally did it! He kissed y/n—!” Itadori smiles.

They watch you smile into the kiss and you bring your hands up behind his neck, slowly trailing them into his hair, deepening the kiss.

“I’m so happy,Kugisaki.” Itadori wipes his tears with the back of his hands, extremely happy for his teacher’s happiness and success in his love life.

“I don’t know why you guys are making such a fuss.” Fushiguro finally decides to add into the antics of his classmates.

“Huh?” Kugisaki quickly turns and glares at the dark haired man. ”Is your heart made of stone or something,Fushiguro?”

“Yeah! I heard Gojo-sensei basically raised you.” Itadori chirps in. “You should be more happy for him.”

Kugisaki nods in agreement.

“I mean…” Fushiguro sighs as his hands are up massaging his temple, mentally preparing for the outburst to come.

“They’re married…”

“Ehhhhh???”
