A Law Poem For a Tuesday

Some law poetry for a Tuesday, from the website LawPoetry. 

Poet Austin D. Blessing (MSU Law 2020) took the Louisiana Supreme Court case of State v. Demesme, 228 So. 3d 1206 (La. 2017) as inspiration.

 

More about the case here from Dennis Baron at The Web of Language, here from Alex Raby at the Criminal Practitioner, and here from the American Journal of Trial Advocacy.  A Louisiana legislator attempted to respond to the Court’s decision here.
