legal history

So it turns out that Solano County is a bit famous, or at the part of interstate 80 that runs through it is. Let me explain. In 1978 a guy had a tire blow out on his motorcycle causing him to wreck. He sued the tire company, who then sued the company that sold them the part that caused the blow out. The case made it to the Supreme Court and into my reading for this week as we learned about the rules for specific jurisdiction in my civil procedure class. It's actually a pretty important case. If you want to read about it, and see what sort of stuff takes up most of my time, click here. I was pretty excited to see the reference to home.
