A memory trick: Plaintiff v. Defendant

Here’s a mnemonic I came up with after a couple of cocktails at Bourbon & Branch: The

  • Plaintiff is the party with the burden of
  • Proof, including, in a criminal case, the
  • People (or other sovereign); they begin their case first (that is, in the
  • Primary position), and they sit in closer
  • Proximity to the jury box.

In addition, some of you 1Ls will be coming across cases involving the phrases “plaintiff in error” and “defendant in error,” for which you may substitute “appellant” and “appellee.” The plaintiff in error/appellant is the person complaining that the lower court made an error and thus filing the appeal, and the defendant in error/appellee is the one defending the lower court’s decision and against whom the other party filed the appeal.

Muni, Bad Puns, and Vocabulary

I recently had occasion to take the Muni Metro K-Ingleside and T-Third Street lines through the point where the one turns into the other. I’ll make a post about that later, but for now you may relax in the knowledge that I call that point the K-T Boundary.
