Jill on Adverse Possession

Jill has the best legal argument…
Jack: “I would argue that the possession wasn’t hostile. There was no confrontation at all!”
Jill: “I don’t think the standard here is to dig a moat and set up the catapults…”

    AP is one of my favorite property concepts (is it TOTALLY lame that I can even say that?? yes, probably..). Mostly because it translates really well into bad jokes. People have been “adverse possessing” each others stuff since the beginning of last semester, and somehow it doesn’t get old.

    I still adversely posess stuff… and I often seek easements across people’s desks to access outlets with my power cord.

    Kind of ironic, my professor was talking about adverse possession in my economics class today. Yeah, it’s an oldddddd concept. Funny in modern times though.

    Well, as long as there are squatters I guess we’ll have adverse possession…
